Sì, grande sintetizzatore, specie in relazione all'età.
Ne ho avuta una sino all'anno scorso. Veramente un ottimo strumento. Purtroppo l'età si fa sentire e anche gli ottimi strumenti vengono soppiantati da quelli più comodi.

Speriamo che nn si migliori solo la comodità degli strumenti, uccidendo l'anima col VIRTUALE.
questa sy99 è stata una delle tastiere più VIVE degli anni 90
