Strengths

  • Nine sound engines, including the SGX-2 piano and the MS-20EX/PolysixEX models
  • 2,560 user program slots with 1,920 preloaded
  • 16-track MIDI sequencer plus a 16-track hard-disk recorder
  • 13 kg for a 61-key workstation

Weaknesses

  • No aftertouch on the keybed
  • No built-in speakers
  • The 88-key version is the one with RH3 hammer action, so 61 keys means less piano-like feel
