FarmerBob - (August 24, 2006) This is the best piece of audio gear I have purchased in a long time. It doesn't look like much, but does it perform. For years I have dreamed of archiving and having my vinyl on CD or as digital files. My good tables are long gone and my beaters are dead. This setup makes it so very easy. I have only used the USB connection, but it also has RCA with an onboard preamp with line switching and gain. This will make it easy to hook up to just about any system. It also has a stereo mini jack on the front to feed in a tape player or the like. This only works if hooked up via USB. The provided software, Audacity (Freeware) is OK (I got V1.2.5, the manual is for 1.2.4, and 1.3 is on its way), a

pughimag - (March 10, 2006) I purchased this piano because I wanted a relatively lightweight, portable, 88-weighted-keys instrument to take to personal gigs with the guys. I have a 7ft-6in Kawai concert grand and a Korg 88-key weighted electronic piano at home but the Korg (Concert 5000?) is now about 20 years old and although it still works just fine it is very heavy. I looked at the Casio PX110 in the same price range and the Casio sounds were inferior to my ear even though I was tempted because it has 8 watt speakers and more features like a notepad sequencer. The PX110 is also $200 cheaper than the Yamaha P70. Other boards were twice the price. In the end I could not bring myself to compromise on the touch and

Bargugl - (February 07, 2006) If you are looking for an inexpensive practice piano or a very lightweight portable stage piano, this is an excellent buy. You simply can not buy a fully weighted 88-key keyboard for less than this. You will not find a better action or sound for less than $1000. This piano is the replacement for the Casio PX-100 and its main improvements are an improved action and an improved piano sound. The action is heavier than the old PX-100. It is also a heavier action than the Korg Triton or an old Roland I play at church. In my opinion, the action was more realistic than either the Roland or the old PX-100. Compared to the Korg, it is a toss-up as it is a matter of personal taste on what type of f

tech-gaming - (11/30/2009) When I ordered this case I didn't expect much for the price it was widely available for. When it arrived it lived up to my expectations with cheaply made latches, cheap and very thin padding on it's interior. The most significant issue I found with it ended up being the fact that a "Thin-Line" Yamaha APX Guitar does not fit in this case. Yes, you can place the guitar into it, but there is so much excessive room around the body of the guitar, that it floats around when the case is moved. There is at least 1/2 to 1 inch of space on all sides of the guitar. I would say this case is for a standard dreadnought rather than a Thin-Line guitar.

rockyandthebullwinkles - (11/22/2009) I love the options but when I'm at a gig I need dependability . Beringer replaced my first new one after two months use . Now the second new one is doing the same thing . I treat my equipment with great respect and purchased a case for this board . All the caution in the world will not keep these XLR jacks from breaking down

Reggmail - (11/13/2009) Korg not supporting Vista 64/windows 7 is the downside of this mixer. Although the XY pad is a plus, no settings storage is also not good. This mixer is a nice desing that Korg slept on. I hope they get on the ball with the Zero 4 /8 mixers.
