Great sounds

The piano, electric piano, and organ sounds are worth the price alone. I really like the rock organ 2 ("086 Rock Org2") the 60's electric piano ("030 60'S EP1") If you are trying one out, check out those patches for sure. Some of the synth patches are hard to tell apart, but there a a few good sounding ones. Good orchestra patches too. I do wish it had a mod wheel, and metal jacks in the back. Still, it's doubtful you could find sound this good at this price point. Maybe even a hundred above. It's a keeper for me.

It has good sounds, great for the price. But, watch out. It has no MIDI implementation other than USB (no MIDI connectors).

I researched a lot for this purchase, it doesn't have everything but the instruments/tones are good, drum/rhythms as good as the drum machines I've had, the auto accompany is worth admission. Great looking machine, well built. Screen is big enough to read easily, instruction manual is fair to suck. Support is, useless. What this keyboard does would be worth $1000 for what I need it for, it really is a fantastic value IMO. I played keys briefly 20 years ago, the keys feel nice. The onboard speakers are decent, this sounds really good through my pa, it's not a Phantom etc, but it's a pretty unbelievable value. If you buy one and don't like it, send it to me....:lol:
