Nice and simple to use, as you would need for onstage. 3-band eq is a nice touch.

Action is not bad for hard playing, but for a soft touch it's not so good - there's a fine line between loud and soft, with not enough in-between. fine for jerry lee lewis, not so good for chopin.

I use it as a straight piano-substitute on stage and as such it's great. The effects and other sounds are pretty weedy, but the piano sound is convincing enough when playing with a rock band, and that's all i use it for.
The sound is a little cold for my taste, but i run it through a fender twin which helps a lot.

It's pretty robust and has taken a few knocks with no problems. Easy to move around without risking damage. so far very dependable.

I broke a key (low down luckily) and attempted several times to get a replacement from oberheim - got absolutely nowhere.

just wish the action was a little better, otherwise perfect for my current needs.

The polyphone ist 64. There are 3 piano sounds and e-piano sounds. There's reverb (Room, Hall, Hall2) and phase (chorus, modulation, flanger) FX on board. Velocity sensitivity can be switched to normal, hard, light and there's some little recorder in there you can perhaps use for pratctice.
MIDI in/out is ok but you cannot change channels! Therefore some minus...
They Keyboard does not feeld like a real piano but it feels so much better than any lightweighted keyboard you find in synths.

The piano sounds are really great. It has the best piano sounds I know. Note all those little gimmicks like the sound of the damper when you press the pedal or the sound of the hammers swinging back etc.
The onboard FX are not the world's best FX but they do fit very fine to the sounds.

Oh whell what would you think... Of course I would try to get another Cosmos if it got lost. I've been using it for about 1,5 years now. Every day. And it does not get boring.
I tested some other stage pianos but the sound of the Cosmos just caught me and wouldn't let me go out of the shop without the promise to buy it.
But keep in mind: The features are limited. Other devices might have more features you might need. But they also might cost twice the money and bring half the sound quality.

Polyphony is 64 (I only have ten fingers so perfect for me).
It has 3 kinds of reverb (2 room and a hall), chorus flanger etc.
The sound options are 3 acoustic (steinway etc.) and 3 elctric (Wurlitzer, Rhodes last is unknown to me but still fine).
