A breeze to use. Basic setup any novice (like me) can work.

Its got a lot of good stuff (I won't bore you w/ the details, you can find that elsewhere). Its polyphonic and has portamento (glide). The keyboard is real nice for what it is. It doesn't feel like a piano or anything but the keys at least feel sturdy. Like you're playing something when you press down. MIDI, but no sequencer or arpeggiator on-board.
Expressiveness/Sounds

This thing sounds like crap. Nothing like a Juno-60. The sounds are complete cheese. I hate to dis this thing so hard but the sounds is CRAP! THin and cheesy. Maybe its good for Spacey sounds but for thick weirdness and everything that you associate with analog synths, this is NOT it! This is somehting a piano player should get when He's feeling a little "weird" and "crazy". I gave it to my girlfriend 2 days after I got it. (I only bought it cause I got a great deal on it)

A nice piece. Sounds like crap for what I use it for. Would recommend Korg PolySix if you want something that sounds a little better with similar setup (no MIDI though).
