Digital synths and keyboards: memory, system and software

With digital products, hardware operation is only part of the assessment.

Where relevant, verify:

• loading and saving presets;
• internal memory;
• system version;
• boot time and abnormal freezes;
• compatibility with editors or drivers you plan to use;
• any transferable libraries, licences or content.

Do not assume that software, plug-ins or libraries shown in the listing automatically transfer with the hardware.

Ask the seller to clearly distinguish what belongs physically to the instrument from anything tied to separate accounts or licences.
