Great top board
Great fun top board and couch piano. Bought a year ago and did ~30 pop gigs with it. Pitch bend and cutoff resonance controls make this more useable than my nord electro for a second board.
Decent speakers and battery power make this extra fun, I like the really tough light plastic body.
Also great ‘wedding band’ top board. Great for clavs, strings brass wurlis synths, decent organs and Rhodes. I never use piano patch but it’s decent. Loads of editable effects.
Only reason I took a star off is the patch storing menu.
You can’t store a name of a patch which makes recalling old patches a drag. Could be easily fixed in a firmware update but I won’t hold my breath. massive price drop since I bought it, that’s a bargain.
I have since upgraded to ck61 which I also recommend, even at 3x the price
