"High quality synthesizer, amazing features, attractive price!"

Sound:

This keyboard has a ton of different sounds. It has some really cool classic synth sounds and if you take the time to experiment a bit you can create a bunch of your own sounds by tweaking or combining other sounds. The pianos aren't bad, organs and strings are very good, percussion too and even a few of the bass sounds are pretty realistic. Its got its share of useless sounds as well, but overall, excellent.

Feature:

Seems like I'm still discovering new features on this keyboard. It gives you the opportunity to really play with the shape and tone of the sound much like the classic analog synths. If your feeling brave you can get in there and really start messing around, and it allows you to create and save your own sounds. I've been using it lately with a midi controller - the Roland AX-7 and its amazing how much you can do.

Quality:

Its fair to say I've given this keyboard a workout over the past several years and its still in near perfect condition. The low A has started going in and out a bit on certain sounds, but otherwise nothing has broken or stopped working.

Manufacturer Support:

I only contacted the company once and that was to get a replacement manual and a backup power adapter. I had no problem getting what I needed but the manual was pretty expensive. I might not have paid so much for a manual, but like I said... with this keyboard you need it.

Value:

This keyboard is worth the price, especially considering what many keyboards are selling for.

The Wow Factor:

There's nothing flashy about this keyboard, but it is certainly conveinent. Its pretty light and compact so its easy to travel with and set up. Its smaller and lighter than most 61 key synths yet still has tons of sounds and features.

Overall:

I've looked around but for the price I haven't found anything that would replace this keyboard. I bought an old anolog synth as a second keyboard, but still end up using this one the most. Not too likely to replace it anytime soon.
