The Sono 88 is a great performing keyboard, allowing me to mix all my sources..MP3 playback, Internal sounds, sequence playback of internal GM sound bank, and Mic volume control..All are controlled from the Sono 88..
The semi weighted piano style boxed keys are great to play with adjustable velocity touch settings..
The Steinway grand piano preset is great, better than some produts costing 3 times the price..The Jazz organ preset is also very good..as are the Strings and Electric piano..
My wish list would include more polyphony than the current 40...and a mic effects would be a welcomed addition..
But for the price this Sono 88 does the job...
