The draw-bar Hammond-type voices are amazing, as is the sequencer. I have the B3 ROM for my EMU Command Station and the Casio does instant Hammonds that I can't replicate with the EMU at all, except with a lot of time spent EMU programming using a much smaller display.
Sample sounds again, are top-notch.
I use Kurzweil keyboards and EMU Command station samples and voices mainly (and a VZ10m) and the WX-P1's samples stand up to the Kurzweil and EMU preset digital voices very well. They are different PCM high-quality samples, and not inferior in any way. Drum sounds are very good also and very useable.
All in all, I'm very happy with this great new purchase and it's excellent value for the money.. Nothing else comes close to what it does, and in my opinion, it can't be beaten anywhere, for the price.
If you can get a used one, then do so ASAP..
Very many thousands of hours of addictive playing and programming in this little keyboard, and very highly recommended.
Casio should put two of them together along with a better configured display, for a super monster synth that would beat anything.
