This is for a P90. Rompler, mainly digital piano with basic extra strings/organ-type sounds. No horns or analog. Similar to P80 but improved samples, especially the Rhodes. Grand piano still sounds good, extra sample layer for pedal-down sounds very nice, not as good as physical model like Pianoteq, but acceptable. Honky-tonk piano works for rock, fits well in live mix. Rhodes is excellent, Wurly terrible (have a 200A to compare to). Hammond sample is useful, Leslie sim does speed-up & slow-down ramps. Cool for a digital piano, but Nord Electro or VB3 much better. No jack for an expression pedal (should go with having string & organ patches on-board, imho), just sustain. Guitar sample useless, but no pitch bender anyway. Other sounds (clav, strings, etc) are sevicable. Can do 2 zone splits & layers easily. Detailed stuff like setting relative volumes & octaves of splits/layers require diving into non-intuitive user interface & require the manual. Not a real master controller, but some 2-zone stuff can be faked. Replacement model CP33 more intuitive as a 2-zone controller. Excellent graded-action keyboard, never had a problem, gigged for 5 years with it, still feels fine. 30 lbs or so, lightweight & compact to carry but solid construction. RCA & 1/4 jacks for outputs. Wall-wart transformer. MIDI in/out, Weird non-standard ToPC direct interface, not USB, maybe Rs232 needing special driver, never used it.
