The New Master (SOS Mar 92)

muzines.co.uk

The Akai MX-1000 master keyboard stands out for its user-friendly design and ease of programming, making it a strong contender in its category. Its optional PM76 Piano Sound Board transforms it into a versatile digital piano, enhancing its appeal. However, it does have limitations, notably the restriction to four keygroups, which may hinder users looking for more expansive layered sounds. While its build quality and functionality are commendable, those who require complex MIDI setups might find the MX-1000 somewhat basic. Overall, it’s a great choice for musicians seeking simplicity and quality, but those needing deeper capabilities might want to consider alternatives.
