"Nice synth but questionable price value."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

If I wasn't an owner of an access virus kc, korg triton studio, and a yamaha motif which outclass and out perform this product, I probably would rate a little higher.
Sound
Nice sound quality, for a synth. organs voices could be better however analog voises have nice quality.
Features
Controls are easily accessable, and manual is compreshensable. A very annoying aspect is the reverse polarity of the sustain function which requires you to search for a sustain pedal with a reverse switch.
Quality
Nice key reaction and effect with added pressure.
Value
Worthy synth to own. Don't think resail value will be well maintained. Should cost a little less comparable to the Alesis Ion at almost half the price.
Manufacturer Support
Novation tech was supportive and solved issues via telephonically.
