awesome soundcard at a great price. When compared to, say, an Alesis

Quadrasynth Plus (or similar synth), the keyboard wins. This one works well

when it plays music that was originally written for general MIDI or classical/

big band/piano music, but you really need superb speakers to get the full

effect. I'd recommend it above anything else as a computer soundcard, but if

you're thinking about professional use, buy an Ensoniq or an Alesis keyboard

instead.
