Overall
What is your overall opinion of this product?
I love this thing, thaks to a music store about 2 hours away from my home, I went there and demo'd this before making my decision, I also demo'd Kronos and roland. I have a Yamaha Motif Classic 8, and never felt the need to upgrade because the classic was nice....What grabbed my attention was the updates to the Firewire option and the Flash Board, where you can store your own sounds. This Keyboard is nice!

I think this product is great quality and i will probably have this for many many years to come...Works with different genres.
Ease of Use
How user friendly is it? Would it work well for a beginner, intermediate or experienced player?
When demoing the product, I made modifications to sounds and used the sequencer and built a performance without reading the manual, but that may be because they made it alot like the motif Classic.
