What type of keyboard (synthesizer, piano ...)? How many octaves?
In fact, I have an ME30, the same as the ME50 with a few less buttons. It is therefore an organ, two keyboards / pedals.

How many sounds effects? What styles? Are they edited?
I did not count the sounds, there are four polyphonic directly accessible to the lower keyboard and four mono poly 4 for the upper keyboard. It also has a bank in a rotating menu (great invention!) Of twenty I think. The sounds are not editable, of course ...

What controllers (pitch, modulation, sustain ...)?
Well, a volume pedal on the right foot. The ME 50 had a little extra I think pedal to control the vibrato.

What connection (Audio, MIDI, pedals ...)?
Midi in out (not through), RCA line input, RCA line output, headphone jack in 6.32.

MIDI is finally the big advantage of this keyboard now. It was also dropping major when he had bought, like what, almost 30 years later, it was not wrong!
The three keyboards are each on a different MIDI channel (1, 2 and 3) and thus allow to control a lot of sounds simultaneously. We must of course be organist! Same with an organ VST (MIDI-> USB), it was perfect ergonomics of the organ, and with low latency is the foot.
on the other hand, weak if you will, but it is not the subject of an organ, not sensitivity and aftertouch. Everything comes at the same level, but not fully. It is an organ, so all or nothing.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
My faith is an organ. Nothing complicated for this model actually quite simple.

SOUNDS

The sounds are original, so frankly next ... The interest of such an instrument is currently elsewhere (see above)

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
Nearly 30 years

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I can not afford!

What is so special that you love the most, least?
Plus, the ergonomics and MIDI, the least sound, BAR ...

How would you rate the quality / price?
Given the age, hard to say. But considering the price in time, it can do a great master keyboard simple.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I heard the music on it, how to make a choice?!
