Standard OS, cannor be edited, therefore version 1.0
Presets are little noisy (no clear sounds)
Editting patches is not a standard feature
Manual is Ok, not fantastic
Features

Polyphony is 64, which is OK; once and a while the Farfisa cuts of sounds.
Built in effects are available but unclear - I tried to use several effects, but no warm feelings for the sound
MIDI is ok, it can be pretty good assigned to other instruments (which I did recently) and be used as MIDI-slave.
The onboard sequencer is crap... 4 tracks and no easy editting 8excpet for replaying a whole track :-(((((
Expressiveness/Sounds
:
7
The piano sounds are good, as are the organ sounds. The rock organ is great fun, but not as realistic as on a Korg or a Yam (but hey there's a price difference)
It acts pretty smooth on playing, touch is good, velocity is good, no aftertouch.
Reliability

I once experienced a problem with one note which was no longer sensitive... Repaired with no complaints and got a spare machine for the mean time.
Overall Rating

If it were lost I would never buy it again, be looking for a known-brand as Yam, Korg or Roland. I've played it over a year on a music-course... was fine, easy to get to know music. Now I'm into bigger stuff.
