Frequently Asked Questions

It's a synth-action, meaning it’s lighter and faster, but lacks the resistance and feel of a weighted piano action. It’s perfectly acceptable for playing synth sounds and styles, but not ideal for serious piano practice.
Yes, the 256 MB of expansion memory allows for user-created sounds and styles to be loaded, though the import process isn't the most user-friendly.
The built-in recorder is decent for practice and basic demos, but the WAV/MP3 format and limited dynamic range won't give you studio-quality results; consider an external interface for more serious recording.
