Review: Great for practice or playing with friends. - If you're like me and use keyboards but don't play piano, this keytar is pretty good. You no longer have to find a place to set up. You just put it on and go. You won't be playing live shows...well, you could but the sounds are pretty limited. This is better for just jamming with friends or practicing songs. If you want something for live shows get the Roland Ax Edge. The built in speaker is...you can hear it. It's loud enough to play with maybe one acoustic guitar. Don't expect anything out of it. It's a 0.7 Watt, 3.6 cm speaker. It lets you hear stuff...that's it. However, you can run an aux cord from the phones jack to whatever you got for MUCH better audio quality. Haven't tried it in an amp yet. I'm sure it will do just fine. The mini keys are not an issue. I wouldn't even call them mini, they're slightly smaller. Totally playable. It has 30 sounds or voices. Some are good...some are less so, mostly cuz I don't see me using them anytime soon. All in all, I was expecting to be disappointed based on some of the reviews I read, however, I am beyond satisfied with this purchase. I don't even touch my CTK-7200 anymore and will probably sell it but not until I get the Roland Ax Edge.
Review: Good keyboard / keytar. Instruments sound better if you turn on reverb - I wanted a portable keyboard that had a built-in synthesizer, and this fits the bill. * Operates on 6xAA batteries * MIDI out * 1/4 Line Out * Portable A very nice combination. We really don't have much issue with RAM and storage nowadays especially. The next better keytar with a built-in synth is the Roland Ax Synth, but costs over twice as much. Also, this device looks like it has a full General MIDI sound synthesizer built in if you use MIDI in. The crazy thing is that if you get a keytar that's a MIDI Controller only, you might be able to wear the SHS 500 on your back to provide it sounds. With General MIDI The samples sound kind-of "eh" at first, but turning up the reverb made them sound much better.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Decent keybed and ergonomics, so-so sound
*by B***Y on October 18, 2021*

The keybed is the same as the Reface series- small keys, but very playable action. The filter and dynamic controls can be fun. The ergonomics are great, and it feels well built. The onboard sound quality and selection are OK, once you adjust the dynamics and effects. Some of the sounds really peak through in a mix- the guitar, with distortion in particular. On the bigger downsides, you'll have to do some menu diving to work some of the effects. The pitch bend direction can't be customized. The sustain button doesn't transmit over MIDI CC. In fact, I don't think any of the controls other than pitch bend and modulation transmit across MIDI. If you don't need the ergonomics of the handle and vertical pitch bend/mod controls, I think you're better off buying a Reface DX (which has the same keys, FAR better sounds, a great sequencer, and robust MIDI support), and the optional keytar attachment for it- all for about the same as you'll pay for this. However, this isn't bad. Added a start to my review after having a chance to program it more deeply.
