    I gig with a CP4 but it stays in our band room. Wanted something for home with built-in speakers for practicing. This fits the bill with decent action and the speakers are surprisingly good. The sounds are pretty good too although pianos on the CP4 has it beat. Takes a bit of a learning curve to get to all 3000 sounds but I'm getting there. Glad I bought it, it's a keeper.

    What outputs to professional mixers/amps does this keyboard have for stage work? Does connecting the keyboard to an amp negate the on-board sound?
