I was looking at "workstations" but couldn't figure out why they were called workstations, I was wondering if they were something that I could compose on; then I notice the entry-level workstation was three times the cost of this keyboard, and my wife saw this at BJ's Wholesale Club and offered it to me as a Christmas present... so... I listened to some samples online and liked the keyboard sound- better than my old PSR-292- so I said with a sigh, OK...
This DGX doesn't have all the voices the cheaper PSR had, and the ones it does have are same old ones, the guitars are better, but still 60's 70's; its pianos are better sounding, the 292's really couldn't stand alone; but it did have something unexpected, something I've been going crazy with and which was worth sacrificing the workstation all by itself- the pitch bender! Now I can do wild vibratos and bendings, which gives me much more expressive creations...
It has 5 5-track user songs to record original works with, just like the old 292; and just like the old 292, the memory gets full long before that! I save the keyboard's user and midi files of my creations on a budget USB drive, no problems... for mp3 files I record directly into my laptop's microphone jack from the keyboard's headphone jack (with some level adjusting) and lay down an additional track while recording, making 6 tracks, with the one live... so I create decent mp3 files to upload to tne Internet and entertain my micro-audiences...
It has a thousand features I may never explore; I've experimented with many of the settings such as pitch-bend range, reverb, and touch-sensitivity, and have discovered and used some of its unintended quirks to creative advantage...Get more detail about 88-KEY Portable Educational Keyboard.
