Editorial Review

As technology has improved over the years, keyboards have been able to carry more features, better sound, and higher overall quality, all at a price point that makes sense for even the most novice of musicians and composers. This impressive keyboard set features 61 keys and 32-note polyphony. There are 482 sample sounds as well as 106 accompaniment beats, 102 built-in songs, and chord instruction options. Of interest to composers is a two-track recording set-up for those wishing to take a multi-layered approach to their compositions. We liked the wealth of features available and especially admired how accessible and easy to use they are. –Charlie Williams
