About this model
A hybrid synth with a flat touch keyboard. Firmware updates added a lot over the years and are free, so an older unit is no worse once updated.
Check that every touch key responds, and ask whether the power supply or USB cable is included.
What to check before you buy
- Every key including velocity
- Every knob / slider / encoder
- Screen backlight and contrast
- Internal battery for patches (older synths - "battery low" on boot)
- MIDI / USB / audio outs
