I have blown a lot of dough on synths from Roland, Emu, Kawai, Alesis, Peavey, Ensoniq, Kurzweil, Boss and yes Yamaha too. And I have just got to say that this DJX is one KILLER DEAL for the money. You wont find so much for so little anywhere. Dont compare it to anything that costs thousands--that is ridiculous to even think of, but if you compare it to anything anywhere near its price, you will see it is a BIG WINNER!! I give it a 5 out of 5 for the value it represents!!Yes, there are better synths out there but not for this kind of money. No way!! Buy it!

I want one of these fuckers!! I've tried it out at guitar center, and it's way cool. Here's why: 1) Patches other than GM. A lot of good vintage sounds too. 2) Ribbon controller (assignable) 3) Cutoff, Resonance, and Assignable (like MOD, maybe?) knobs. Come on people! 4)Arpeggiator 5) FX (you've heard me bitch about other low end PSR not having them)
Now you tell me where you're gonna find a synth with this stuff for the price anywhere else? Unless you want to hunt down a Moog or other anolog synth for five times what this thing cost, in the meantime, why don't we get over our PSR prejudices and take a closer look at thing? Oh yeah, about thin sounds- turn the Bass Boost knob up or plug in to something else (like a mixer or amp with EQ). The people who think it sucks are the people who have their Korg Triton workstations and about 20 modules. People like me who CAN'T AFFORD THOSE FUCKIN' THINGS are content to use our PSR keyboards, and our demos will be just as good.

The Keyboard is pretty good for the money but if you want a heavy weight bass sound, forget it. But thats just me, I'm picky about bass and drums.
If you want a cheap keyboard with a selection of some good and some poor sounds which sounds okay but won't blow your socks off then it's a good buy. If you want something a little more solid sounding then this will disapoint.

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK----HANDS DOWN WINNER!!!!!
NO CONTEST!!!!!! Dont listen to the cheap gear haters. They dont even own any cool gear anyway. This DJX is cheap, but you will not find more features and fun for the money. Impossible. Any real player knows it. Knocking gear that is made for people on a budget is some aristocratic bull shit. Yamaha packed a huge punch into this baby and it is easy to get KILLER sounds out of it. Mark my word. this unit is a winner with a future. It will always be in demand. ITS VERY COOL!!!

With all respect and don't get me wrong but think twice before you saying something stupid.
First,you said and I quote "...80% of them say it is shit and don`t want other people to make mistakes and buy the pile of shit ..." on 19 page of reviews with average rating 3.9 !!! (was 4.1 before dickheads start to play with marks)
Like I told you before, read before you say somethin fullish.
Second, don't mix oranges and apples - IT's PSR SERIES OF KEYBOARD if you know the meaning of PSR; low price synth aimed at hobbyst or starters BUT WITH HUGE POTENTIAL as you can see amongother on 19 page of reviews with very good average ratings.
Third, sure there is much better gear on the market but name just one piece of gear for 250$ (new) which is better than DJX ?! It's about music you make, it's not about gear you use, right ?
Forth, I follow this DJX review site since very first review in late 98 and, based on what I read here I made my desicion and for last X mass bought myself DJX.
Last but not list, when you compare price/perfomance IT'S A FAAANTASTIC.
