A good entry-level keyboard, but unfortunately too expensive for what you get. The sounds are good, especially the piano. The keybed is also good, above average for this price category. It also has an audio interface. The negatives are the very poor user interface. Work with presets is quite poorly implemented. Some features can only be accessed via a computer and software that must be purchased separately. A direct competitor to this keyboard is the Korg Kross 2. The Kross has better controls so if your goal is live performance, it's the better choice. Also, Kross has better synth sounds. On the other hand, the Yamaha has better acoustic instruments and a better keybed.
