UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

Yes, the use is really quite intuitive.
- The edition sound effects or is it easy?

Yes but the shipping is really sounds more than summary (not a synth and then they can not even change the level of reverb for each renewal of a drum set!

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

The manual is clear but not great I got complete (compare the competition)

The edition is basic styles. We do not dtail level that was in song mode but can be cons will create a new style making shuffled among several.

I still only takes 9 to edit the impossibility of the drum sets.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

Only 10 days

So as a first opinion:

1 / I've had too little time and did not have much time to lean on it in depth (even if I dj couch more than once in the morning 2:00 ).
2 / I do not think normal people have not yet said the benefit of this keyboard

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

For the vocal harmonizer, I my judgment Reserved for later since my first attempts at direct (using the PSR-S900 prampli) have not convinced me (it does not I think m'empchera buy a harmonizer ddi more)

Goodies:
Sounds like super joint,
ralistes enough styles and living
The homognit of all,
Sounds more than adequate in all that make the passage of a good player's midifile (who said karaoke?)
The overall simplicity

Cons:
I find it difficult to understand that on a keyboard of this price range we do not have the possibility to edit dtail in his drum kit ...
There normment sounds but the sounds made from super articulation / cool / live / sweet the rest is fairly common. Ms. certain sounds outside banks XG/GM/GM2 are ways such as the "Live piano."
I prfr have fewer but more quality sounds and diversity.
This gives a large number of sounds thanks to the many variations, but such is not entitled that one koto and shakuhachi and one of more than average quality trs.
Even if I do not lve every morning saying "I would call a Japanese music" I love a good shakuhachi "to have a sound approximating the original when I play him "sledghammer" by Peter Gabriel.
I also find that the organs are more than means (there is a free vsti that is far better ...)
However, all is fairly homogne and once in a mix that sounds all the same really well trs.
The touch keyboard is not top. In comparison, that of the tyros 2 is much closer to a good synth.
It's really trslger for me (I think I will install my ISP over my keyboard and piano touch scne I will use it to play the sounds of the PSR)
- How do you report qualitprix?

Excellent!

It must be said that all fawns for the price you can not have:
Bass guitars that sound like Trilogy
Guitar solos that sound like some vsti DDIS
Batteries that sound like DFH
j'arrte l. ..

Ms. Oasys a 8000 does not do what you can do with multiple PCs and full of vsti ...
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I have not tried other models but it's more than a year on the net j'coute the DMOS and composed personal arrangers of this price range and suprieur (tyros 2, PA-800/PA2X Korg, Roland E-80), I consulted and involved several forums and read the docs ...

I know you are doing much better in competition ct edition sound and squenceur (Korg for example) but what most attracted me are the sounds of such great articulation.

I do not make scne but only the home studio.
For some consquent inconvnients (rdhibitoires for scne for some) leave me unmoved.
Squenceur for the part can be compensated with a good computer software ...
For the lack of diversity and quality of certain sounds can be compensated with some good vsti (GPO, Jabber, Garritan Stradivari of ...)
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

I bought this as arranger of APRS cr what I understand the tyros 2 would be the end of life (certainly a tyros 3 in 2008) and the PSR-S900 costs 2 times less then that it is almost as well on many points (d less than the points at which I appreciate) and that I had used a good price even with 19 months warranty!

Indpendamment the price at which I got, I do it again this choice because without hsiter super joints can get a good ism without taking the head with the programming or key switch .. . that the styles sound really great voice thanks to mga and hundreds of styles missing from the tyros 2 work on it in 95% of cases without having to touch it!
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

The advantage with this style of machine is that it is lighter and prt (and it does not crash)
The whole is trs homogne and sounds great

I see this type of keyboard (keyboard arranger) primarily as a source of inspiration and a good gnrateur sound for certain sounds (sounds like super joint).
We light it is a style sheet is a few chords and inspiration come fast enough (at least in my case)

Whereas I especially arranger as a virtual band to accompany a soloist playing a real acoustic instrument (saxophone, guitar, vocals).
So for what I do I'm happy for now trs.
