Sound:
SOUnd quality? woooow... To my ear its in a league of its own. THe sound is very xpressive and you will have fun just tweaking the knobs. The keyboard has no effects. I believe this is excellent because it forces you to program, plus the sounds dont need any extra effects added to it. I am currently using a SE-1, Pk-6 and and an MV-8000 with my NORD. I will be upgrading to a minimoog voyager. Only reason I rated the sounds a 9 is because I am never satisfied with the sounds of any keyboard. Well perhaps the prophet 5, but its so old, I wouldnt dare purchase it.
Feature:
Im pretty much new to keyboards so I cant really speak on any least amount of features. however, having no effects allows you to focus on programming and tweaking.
Quality:
Oh my goodness. Just looking at this keyboard makes you wanna make love to it. Theres something about the sexy red color. Only main concern I have with this keyboard is that darn Wooden Pitch stick. I wouldnt allow other people handling that pitch stick. It just may break with the right amount of force.
Value:
I believe the price of this item is pretty high. In fact, your best bet would be to purchase to thru an online auction. Good luck trying to find one for the price i did: $1-1-7-5 ;-)
Manufacturer Support:
I put 9 because ive never had to deal with them thus far. However, I emailed them asking would there be future products and never got a reply of any kind.
The Wow Factor:
LIke i said, its so sexxy and that red makes you wanna do the nasty with it. The overall look and ease of use, gives u inspiration to make music.
Overall:
I expect to be very satisfied with this product for years to come. If it was stolen, I would be pretty mad because I purchased this keyboard at a price cheaper than the Rack version. However, if your on the market for a new keyboard, I would try to be patient and wait until JAN 20 2005. Thats when the NAMM show starts. Im pretty sure theres going to be a new clavia board released. Probably a Nord 4 or nord 3xl.

Ok where do i start? This things rocks w/ its excellent sound? The sound quality is superb. There are over 1,000 persets just waiting to be used and abused.Sometimes i just sit down and create excotic and freaky sounds. I absolutely love it. When i think about the money i spent, i sit down and create havoc. The sounds are fat and chunky w/ the unison mode. It can create most of the new wave sounds i dream about! Make sure you have good amp(s)or speakers (KC150+)
Feature:
I wish it included a midi cable, but those are like 20 bucks... And no onboard 'effects';fortunately, they aren't needed.
Quality:
The thing is built like a tank. The red is beautiful. It will definitely lasy for some time. I like to stare at its beauty.
Value:
It's a tad expensive-i paid 1800- It needs more presets. I am now poor...
The Wow Factor:
Sexy. Pure sexiness. I Love it. Just Beautiful -hugs synth-
Overall:
I will be satisfied for a while. If it were stolen, i'd kill the thief and take his money ;) I bought this baby for its reputation. Clavia kicks ass.
