The X1 is the best oriental keyboard. I used to have the E-500 OR but it was very disturbing in live performance. For example there is no lock tempo in the E-500 and if you want to change from one style bank to another it will switch automatically to styles that you don't want to choose from that second bank.

I bought the E-500 two years ago, then I sold it afetr two monthes and I bought a gem wk-2. The wk-2 is more easy to operate in live performance than the E-500. But I sold the wk-2 when the X1 came out. This X1 is the dream keyboard for every arabic musician. Here in Lebanon every body is using it.

Trust me, buy the X1 oriental and after, you will thank me for that advise.
