I am mainly a gutiarist Flutist. I play many other instrument also, I also

use alot of MIDI. I have been messing with keyboards since the late 70's and

Although this keyboard looks like a toy, and resembles the use of only one of

those old organs that played drum beats, I think this keyboard is great. This

keybourd like others has its stong points and weak points on sounds. I think

this keyboard is great for people who like to write midis but cant afford a

2000 dollar keyboard. I also think that it is great for musicians with families

that they want to get interested in music. And let us not forget about the great

Keyboard, drums, organ and string sounds. The fact that you can even buy more sounds

for it. I think we should be fair about how we critique. Yes I would agree that this is not

Techno keyboard. If you have ever been to a studio session you would see that there

are alot more that one keyboard making some of those sounds. They are also using synthesizers

wich this keyboard it not. They are also using samplers which this board is not. I rate this key board the highest rating especially for the money. I have not met

anyone even in a professional studio environment that didnt like this board. It is useful

in many different applications, and would make a great addition to any keyboard rack if

you can pass up what it looks like and that is has a casio style toy aura about it(which aint bad either!)
