AVIS GLOBAL

Je l'utilise depuis sa sortie il doit y avoir 7 ans...
j'adore le parametrage total de tout, il est tres detaillé le XD8 et XD9 onr été une version simplifié du X8, ce qui m'a fait garder mon X8
tres tres bon clavier, (son, pattern,arrangeur) il vaut son prix !
je ne regrette pas mon achat, je fait du baloche et des annimations en formation avec mon X8 sans le moindre souci! je l'ai fait acheter par d'autre collegue, dommage qu'il ne ce produise plus ...
