UTILIZATION
Super easy to use, the manual is very clear.
The screen is a bit small, but it shows only the numbers corresponding to the sounds used.
Editing sounds is super hard on the device, but it can be done through a supplied software and a USB connection. For a geek I think the software is not bad and is quite full, on the other hand for a beginner like me it is complicated and it is FEAR.
SOUNDS
The sounds are pretty cool, the quality is there.
I love these sounds!
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for 3 months with a keyboard M-Audio Keystation.
I had never used before expander. An expander for me it did not work alone with a master keyboard.
So I can not compare with other expanders.
The cool side with respect to a synthesizer or piano while a is that I can change the keyboard.
The cool side compared to my PREVIOUS solution (PC + software + computer music master keyboard) is that it is lighter to carry, more reliable and easier to access.
It gave me, so I can not really judge the quality / price ratio, but I could spend € 150/200. At the same time I am not a number: I do not know what is being done now and at what price.
