Dexibell S7 seems to have some arguments to compete vs Nord

Here is what it's about :



Yet another competitor for Nord, maybe, one still have to wait to put his/her hands on it ...

Has someone tried one of these at NAMM 2016 ?

Interesting - definitely seems more Roland than Nord. Some observations:
- sampled and modelled pianos are probably great
- poor organs, no drawbars
- easy to find sounds, well organised
- basic layers / splits only (just two sounds at once???)
- sound continued to play when he changed sounds
- bluetooth for streaming!
- weird harmonics on the Rhodes
- lack of options for EQ / effects?
Overall ... probably a good match for the RD300nx but just a bit basic compared to the high end keyboard. Can you store set-ups etc? As a first entrant to the market though, pretty good - I wonder what they'll be doing in a year??

it seems apparent that they are using the same Fatar action as will be found in upcoming NP3...
