This is a advance keyboard.I have used it a lot as a MIDI KEYB.Basically it is an auto-accompaniment keyboard with 220 sounds & 110 styles. The sound & styles are usable at the price range.4-part multi-timbality is though very limited.But at least you would not be left stranded.You can connect it to other midi gear.

Gregh Doran a part time user from Ireland writes:
Very disappointed. Most of the good features are heavily outweighed by the lack of reality on a condsiderable number of the voices. It would apper as if they were someone's impression of what an instrument sounds like rather than a true rendering. " Say!... what does that sound like?", "not really sure... could be a saxaphone?", "OK, lets call it a sax...! " I have played the full range of saxaphones for over 40 years, the clarinet for longer and the vibraphone / organ on and off. The vibraphone on the 680 is pathetic, more like a dulcimore! and the saxaphone timbre would put me off the instument for life! Ther are other voices that are equally 'untrue' to the imitated instrument but I do not feel qualified to pass comment on these. This is a great pity because there are some very good representations on other voices and in general the instrument has an excellent feel to it and a well balanced sound overall. Maybe I expect too much, but then my 15 year old 'Yxxxx' model got the sounds right and I would have expected Casio to have made it sound like a toy with the advance in technology.
