Frequently Asked Questions
The NH action is lighter and less complex than the GH3; it’s a compromise to keep the price down, lacking the GH3’s dynamic range and subtle nuances.
You can record the piano part and the accompaniment, but the sequencer’s capabilities are fairly basic – don’t expect professional-level editing.
While the XE20’s sound is perfectly acceptable, it lacks the depth and realism of higher-end models – it's good for practice but won’t fool anyone in a critical listening environment.
