Carracteristiques for the better to see the card manufacturer!

in a comprehensive manner we can say that it's really a complete machine for a very affordable price. ... it lacks a connection can be more substantial!

UTILIZATION

The grip is really very easy ... in minutes played with and within days he has no secrets for you.
the manual is very well done there are easily what you seek.
use a device that is easy and friendly. we have quick access to various reglagles. large illuminated keys are actually very practical to quickly change a rhythm instrument or a full track without crashing. I thought it was a little "toy" and in fact it's very useful when playing in groups.
The screen is also very clear and practical.
its side, it's really bleuffant! most of the instruments are really hyper realistic. connected to a really good sound system sends ca.
missing quite a few instruments, but that is not found necessarily even on more expensive machines (bagpipes, bombards, bagpipes and other instruments "exotic "...).
arranger side there's plenty to do. I also liked some more rhythm (a little low in reggae for example ...).
touch is nice (the keys are long enough yamaha). may be missing some semsibilité?
emplification side is correct. the sound is good, but quickly limited. To repeat alone at home is enough, but to repeat it several time already limited for group play do not even think!
... And that's where it gets stuck! because at the connector there is only unfortunate headphone jack! a single jack in addition to 6.35 is misplaced and not very accessible! not a single line out or else!
frankly at this yam he did to the economy!
it's a shame because it limits the use of this instrument yet can not go on stage as pb its sounds are good!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 5 months I use it with pleasure.
after stopping the music some time I wanted an instrument easy to use comprehensive enough to play at home and do the "beef" from time to time without ruin me.
I was mainly used in synthetic hard-and I had never used an arranger and I do not want to take my head with a gas plant!

it is an instrument very easy to use and easy a thing that makes you want to play!
(I've had without laughing or symthe it seemed to make more infromatique that music!)
it is easily transportable and gently repeat the amp with some musicians and integrated speakers are sufficient. (Ca avoid lugging lots of stuff!)
sounds and rhythms are really very good ....

the +
- Cost / performance ratio excellent!
