Pretty straight-forward. Easy to use.
Indeed, a typical Roland manual, with sections for about eight thosand different languages. I'm glad English was included. The manual spells out the fine tuning features.

Action is very nice. The semi-weighted feel is real versatile. Not a fully weighted piano feel, but not a plastic synth feel either. 76 full sized keys, and programmable pitch bend/mod joystick.
The split/layer outputs to two different MIDI channels on a single MIDI port. Unlike the A-30, the A-33 has a second MIDI port, making it simple to drive two separate modules. Fits like a glove for the Sound Canvas (or probably any GM synth.) All displays are LEDs on the buttons.
Lightweight. Easy to carry around. Battery operated, or external 9V supply can be used.

I use this with the Roland Sound Canvas. It's a perfect fit. If you want a decent controller that's affordable, this is a good choice. You can get these new for around $495, or used for between $350-$400

The stock Chorus is way-overkill ...almost detuning..but it can be tweaked....I think ?

Seems reliable. For roadwork I think an internal power supply with a normal power cord would be more reliable...then the wallwart but then the cost would be more.....

I've heard some bad comments but my inquiries and response for JUNO II users guide and replacement keypads about 5 years ago was good.

It's quite easy to use after you get in to it. The manual is a typical Roland manual.

All of the 76 half weighted keys feel nice. It has all MIDI capabilities but After Touch. Rhe nice thing in it is that you have full control over your modules. It has two MIDI out ports, so you can control two different groups of midi equipment... Can also be used with batteries as the power supply. The keyboard makes an irritating noise when you play eg. with headphones on or with low volume.. ..but it doesn't matter so much... I guess you can't make a keyboard absolutely silent.. ;-)

Great for rock music. It's not a piano but it's not a light keyboard either. Very fun to play. Velocity is great. No aftertouch though.

I can rely on it 100%. Yes, I'd use it on a gig without a backup.

Yes, I' buy it again. It's certainly worth every penny I paid for it. I love the feel of those 76 half weighted keys. Wish it had Aftertouch. It's a great help in composing..
