Great sound and nicely portable.

Bought this as a portable keyboard to take to the country, jams etc. and though I did not use it a lot it was not its fault. It has very convincing SuperNatural sounds and the piano is very nice to play with the wonderful keyed. Overall a very nice keyboard to have if you need portability. Also I have used it in controller mode and it is good for that if you like Ivory feel weighted keys to control piano. I do not use it in any recordings as I use my Integra if I want SuperNatural piano sounds but I do hope to use it in the future live.
