Piano and Organ sounds were great. In the time I spent with Chris, listening at times through headphones and then taking them off and only listening through the internal speaker system, I asked Chris to play (because he can play so well) Piano, Rhodes, Hammond, Flute, Trumpet, Tenor Sax, Guitar, Flute, etc.(all of my favorite sounds to judge a keyboard by). I didn't listen much to synth sounds, because most keyboards do this so well anyway. The smile on my face was exactly the same kind of smile I had the first day Sandro at Solton (Ketron) played me the prototype styles on the X1, three years ago at NAMM. For those that know me and know my passion for Arrangers, you know the feeling. I asked Chris if I could play the keyboard for a moment with the Grand Piano sound because I like to try out the way the sound becomes more "real" as a real piano is struck with lower to higher velocity. If it sounds very mellow and soft and becomes darker and bold as you play with heavier touch. This Piano was exactly what I was looking for. Next, the test will be from you players who have different levels of expectations.
