See below. Complete connectivity to note the lack of audio input as the fp2 or vk8m. No USB dumps to computer, which is indicative of the "obsolescence" of this keyboard (yes already!)

UTILIZATION

One of the best touch I've played. The config and ergonomics are really great. Large buttons. As a master keyboard is fine too, thanks to the function tx and a backlit display. Manual fine.

SOUNDS

Sounds, there is the real problem. Generation (method) of sample is old and it means: decay of the envelope unrealistic ... Note no "reason" not in some ways like a real piano. The electric pianos are ok, just ok. the bass is ok ... The rhythms are very well (with some features of arrangement fill-in etc). But not enough.

The organs are from the series VK7 (see my review on this product)

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for a few months then I sold it. This is a good keyboard (especially a very good master keyboard) but the lack of sustain piano was unacceptable to me. I tried many other models and since I now have a fp2 I am delighted.

What I liked most was the touch and feel really great (backlit). The least: the sounds of piano and weight (25 kg).
