Llevo 6 meses con este pequeño sintetizador, soy entusiasta de los sintetizadores, y estoy totalmente satisfecho con este yamaha reface dx. Puedes usarlo de controlador vía cable midi o usb. Debido a sus bocinas integradas es totalmente portable. Para practicar o componer en cualquier lugar, en la sala, tu recamara o al aire libre. Las teclas son más pequeñas que un teclado normal, pero ello no representa ningún problema. Puedes bajar nuevas configuraciones de sonidos o subir los tuyos a la aplicación de Yamaha. Ampliamente recomendado!!
