I do not return the type of keyboard, 88 keys touch heavy but a little "light" in terms of quality ...
otherwise it is at least something heavy is the weight of the unit ... 26 kg without its box!
The basic configuration is good but it feels faster than 64 MB of RAM are a bit inadequate and climb higher, it takes at least 180 Euros with extensions to buy GB and up has its own risk (hello risk guarantee ..)

UTILIZATION

The manual is zero and as a predecessor said it is a reminder of the possibilities of the machine that said there are online tutorials to find on the Alesis site that are well, too bad they are not supplied with the machine.
But I put 8 in the difficulty of programming

SOUNDS

Nothing to say about the sounds that are really bluffing ...
I come from a SY77, a WS Ex, a pattern 6 and well worth it all at once ...
good on the other hand-level programming is not the TOP .. then we regret the SY77 super simple and super flexible.
c'es bin complicated and frankly it's not the manual that will help ... Too bad there is not an editor for PC ...
The factory violins are very good and there are also bundles of very good quality sound on the Alesis site ...

OVERALL OPINION

3 months at home and like me he did not move the home studio.
Soon I will test its direct-to-disk to record the first song but I need a mic preamp ...
for me the Value for money is excellent.
Without a doubt I referrer the same choice ..
