SOUNDS

Many are now sounds dated or overtaken by current apps.
Strengths

The worst
Synthesizer: a few presets are good, most are bland and dated. We prefer virtual instruments, even free (P8, ...)
Brass: blah, just right
Guitar: a nylon and 1 or 2 power is correct as a working basis
Electric piano: dull (to be replaced by a vst)

The good
Low: few bass sounds (finger) are correct, or good
Drums: The drum sounds are very correct. OK, plug-ins are better dedicated (BDF ,...).
PAD: large library of highly accurate ground
Organ: good organs, alas too few.
Piano: piano sounds good. I prefer the sound of piano JV NI Kore2 or Pianoteq. Compared to Pianotek the JV sounds more analog, although not the pulse and the reflection of the game Pianotek.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 11 years and I always use.
All Maoist must have a sound module and I am always happy. I use it at least 50% of my time, either to play or to compose, because it is easy and immediate use, even without a computer (the keyboard live on the expander).
I also have a Boss DS-330 DrSynth, and JV1010 is much better.

11 years ago, I do it again the same choice today I am not aware of the news on this type of product
In time, the price / quality ratio seems to me still interesting for hardware

It will delight the guitarist begins to computer music, with tablecloths, organ, bass and drums.
It also satisfied the young pianist who tries to modern composition, with its large library of sound and ease of use.
