I found it to be fairly easy to understand, and to program. I have not as yet experienced any problems with the keyboard action (perhaps my touch is not

super heavy) but still I have banged it pretty hard at times. I will be very

upset if the keys break and the guys where I bought it know that if you sell

me some crap I will... be bringing it back. I spend to much money there to

endure stupid problems like keys breaking in the middle of a gig.

Also I wish the unit was not so heavy, and for the money it cost kurzweil

could have made the sounds editable, and included the music rack free for

crying out loud...."come on Kurzweil". I would advise anyone who may be considering the purchase of a pc88mx, make sure you don't pay more than the price of a pc88 without the mx.

summary:

1: This is a wonderful instrument, probably the best on the market in its class especially if the sound of a serious piano is important to you.

2: This is the controller you've always wanted, easy to understand, etc.

3: The mx has a nice array of very professional, and useful sounds, even though I repeat "don't let anybody charge you more for them than the cost of a standart pc88. The fact that the pc88 doesnt have the upgrade ($500.00) is tuff let the dealer and the manufacturer work it out believe me they can.

4: I heard some very nice roland piano sounds but not all are good. But you can pretty much bet the farm that kurzweil sounds are gonna be the best..

5: Are you still here, whats wrong with you go buy a kurzweil pc88mx
