Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought the Havian sight-unseen last summer. Overall it is okay... But it is lacking in features of a pro level instrument.Out-of-the-box, it feels cheap and plasticky... Switching it on, the basic sounds so redeem the feel a bit. And the key bed is very good.... Nice feel.The sequencer is wonky and not very intuitive...and mixing levels between tracks is dang near impossible. Once I got used to it, I found it passable for sketching ideas, but not what I would use for recording. As a toy, it is feature rich...as a pro level instrument, it falls short

Musical Background:

30+ years gigging and recording

Musical Style:

Rock, pop, liturgical
