"This is a superior keyboard for the money."

This keyboard is very well built for being so light. The synth sounds are excellent. The high brass sounds are much better than those found in most other keyboards, although the low brass sounds are weak. The effects are very good. This keyboard is very easy to use, and the manual is a great improvement over other manuals that Roland has included with their products.
