"Good Value,Open Box and Play somesing..."
Am always searching for more keyboard, they are the best toys. Just got a Korg X-50 but haven't played with it yet. Good instruments so far. Would like maybe an Korg M3 too. CX-3 others.
Sound
This is a great arranger for getting right into the music. The jazz and bossa styles work for myself with fairly good arrangemements for backup. Less technical than the Pa500, instruments are fine, there are better instruments on the Korg X50, but that is a workstation. This is almost the same as the old Korg Pa80 and Pa60, sounds and features. Good for practice or playing live. It works wonders when you don't have to call up people to jam. I am keeping this one!
Features
Some of the guitars are passable, as well as the piano, vibes and organ sounds. There are better units that can accomodate you if the instrument sounds are of most importance. Some of the horn sections are not so o.k., barely. Should come with sustain and assign pedals. Would be nice to have a CD burner on board. The floppy discs will load more programs, but read the directions so you don't overide the ones that are installed.
Ease of Use
Right out of the box, turn it on and play. The better you are the more likely you can make it sound good. Complex jazz rythyms with good chops that are lightin' fast, now that really helps. Or you can fade into the sunset with a bossa that is cool and serene.
Quality… read more
Not bad for an Italian design made in China. There is no semi or weighted keys here, more like synth keys, something to get used too.
Value
Good value for the money.
Manufacturer Support
I wrote a couple of days ago and they haven't written back. Usually they may answer or e-mail you back, however it depends on what you want and how persistant you are...
The Wow Factor
It's plastic and not a Hammond B-3, so what. It looks like what it is semi-pro. I would beleive that it is not all together that aesthetically pleasing however, if they made it out of carbon fiber it would cost more, but it would be unbreakable.
