A Rather Okay Expansion
I only use this expansion for the keyboard sounds like rhodes and some synth sounds, but the expansion is not bad in my opinion but a lot of it waveforms would later be used on the newer JV/XV models. It does have some unique sounds and presets through, it not bad through.
I think your better off with the Session Expansion or Super Soundset which contained more unique sounds, if you are looking for some keyboard sounds and some synth sounds it for you.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
If i were to pick my most use presets, it be 770 Grand, Pop Rhodes, Ear Candy,
