When the MZ-X500 becomes available in a store near you why not audition it first?


I have been open by listening to some demos of the instrument, and if I happen to see it in a store I guess I will try it, too, but Maten expressed it in quite a general way, saying the developers focused on electronic sounds and EDM music, and orchestral sounds are not what the instrument is about.
I have always considered all brands to be potentially interesting, but I'm not a Casio fan to be eagerly interesting in an instrument when a main demonstrator expressly turns me away from it.
