Digital piano with a fairly realistic touch, hammer action, 88 keys.
It contains about 500 sounds (Yamaha XG Midi compatible GM) and a section of 100 effects (reverb, chorus, phaser, flanger, compressor and distortion). You can save multiple presets easily accessible. The Grand Piano sounds and "Live!" and "Sweet!" are quite good especially the trumpet, trombone, flute and the string section.
Side connections: headphone jack, midi, USB (for PC and a USB port), sustain pedal and pedal full optional. You can connect a USB key to save records in MIDI format or import.
It has a 6 track sequencer, a metronome, a drum machine ...

UTILIZATION

The manual is complete, you might not need to refer to it as the menus are intuitive piano. Setup is easy with the knob and numeric keypad.
You can not customize the effects, but many presets are included.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, this is my first keyboard.
+: Sound quality, ease of use
-: Only one headphone jack, no jack or XLR, the sequencer is limited (no volume control from the slopes, difficult issue, but both go directly to a computer via USB)
With the experience I would do this choice is in this range the model with the best touch.
