Korg SP250 Portable 88 Key Digital Piano With Keyboard Stand Bundle & Bench; Headphones; Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Korg SP250 as a practice piano, a recording piano, and as a MIDI controller for a Ketron SD2 sound module.
As a practice piano it is completely acceptable. The touch of the keys is pretty good and the piano sound is fine too.
As a recording piano it is not entirely acceptable. Even with lots of added reverb, the sound tends to come across as "too close". This is a pity, because the recorded piano sound itself is quite realistic, better than it sounds over the SP250's built-in speakers.
As a MIDI controller this is all but a complete bust. The Korg ignores MIDI control changes above 30 (30-128), so it's extremely limited as a controller. This was by no means made clear in the literature or reviews for the keyboard. I came across it in the middle of the owner's manual as I was puzzling through the fact that I couldn't access most of the banks and sounds in my sound module.
As it stands, this will be a fine practice piano for my husband, but I've had to purchase a new controller and digital piano.
