Value For Money : Excellent
88-key keyboard heavy with excellent touch (better than anything I had used up to present)
level controllers while ago, the connection is more than complte
in terms of sound, 175MO waveform, 3 game modes (voices, performances, master), everything is editable on the synth or via the voice interface Ditor, pRSET six banks, two banks user-mode voice, bank performance Fully ditable, not to mention the standard squenceur, the mode pattern and mode sampling, full brief trs

UTILIZATION

The whole synth is nice and fairly intuitive interface. Everything works with key menu and sub menu under the screen that are very practical when we used this result does navigation trs quickly.
CHAC to diffrent game mode is using buttons situs left of the screen and choice of sounds is very easy thanks to the panel on the right ddi of the screen, a brief functional ergonomics trs dja someone who used to this type of synthbr /> a beginners course could get lost because the synthesis is extraimement rich functionality.
Only small size del'cran BMOL it, that it remains legible but it would have to be MRIT a little bigger for more visual comfort
When the manual is still my taste quite complicated and tends to confuse. The reference from page to page and trspnible after a few minutes of reading, it still accounted for most

SOUNDS

Let us a little about the bowels of the BTE. This is where the magic begins, the sounds are great !!!!! Kidney wrong, it's clean and clear it sounds! for the XV 5050 sound module roland korg karma and I would say that the sounds are the reason are a cut above.
I compose music and jazz of variation on, and of course there are forcmment "chausure his foot was" there is a wide range dja, plus aditional CD sound, and that of the sampler cuple the capacity of synthbr /> sounds are very good also lectros and choose is still standard goingonce
effects are also well-trs, insert effects, reverb and chorus effects master, dj short a lot of things, the effects are more appicable between the audio and samples

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months and it is rel a pleasure to play both of the sounds using the keyboard. CHAC is relatively simple and fun is IMMEDIATE. pity that the screen is a little small but it is soon forgotten dtail before the sound quality.
I use it coupled with korg karma and as a master keyboard for the Roland XV5050, the possibilities are almost unlimited
I would do without hsiter this choice and for less than 3000 euros to touch the keyboard is a remarkably good value quality price trs.
