Additional Benefits Free membership in the GEM online Music Club. Club membership entitles you to unlimited access to downloads, updates, access to an extensive music knowledgebase, Club bi-monthly eMagazine, Product Technical Support, and much more. For a keyboard with Arabic, Turkish, Greek and all Middleast sounds, you can't beat this.

The price was a concern, but its a bargain for the quality. The string section is the most authentic i have ever heard. Percussion is authentic with the right quarter tone transitions. The arabic scales are built in so you get to play real authentic music. There are so many styles from the region it feels like having a full professional band with a recording studio. The money I saved from renting studios more than paid forthe keyboard.

Contents • • • • • • • First production [ ] Generalmusic's first successful arranger workstation models were their WX series, which offered a large blue display, a user-friendly interface and some vintage synth sound presets like,,. Although designed as arranger workstations, WX series had some professional synthesizer capabilities like filter and cutoff (resonance) editing with an integrated powerful 16-track sequencer. The company also offered more sophisticated versions of the WX series as S series synthesizers. The S2 was similar to a for its functionalities such as optional sampling, and layout and patch manipulation.

RealPiano Expander and RP-X [ ] From the 1990s to 2000, Generalmusic made a, digital piano module called the RealPiano Expander. It featured realistic, physically modelled grand pianos with continuous damper pedal functionality. The RealPiano Expander has a delicate LCD readout that is prone to failure. This is due to the internal placement of the LCD ribbon wire in proximity to the top front edge of the plastic front bezel.

To prevent damage to the LCD ribbon wire, users should not place heavy objects on top of the module. Users have replaced the LCD ribbon wire themselves. A damaged LCD ribbon wire does not affect sound quality or other functions at all. The device also has a few bugs related to key velocity that were never corrected in the upgradable firmware. The RealPiano Expander was succeeded by the GEM RP-X half-rack module in 2006. The RP-X featured the DRAKE ( Advanced Keyboard Engine) which simulates a F308 and grand piano among other instruments.

Further developments [ ] Next-generation Generalmusic arranger keyboards were the WK series. Again, they offered a more sophisticated SK series as a synth-arranger alternative and Equinox as a standalone clone.
