- 44 midsize keys (flats have red key lighting)
- 2 built- in speaker (8cm, bassless and harsh distorting with unpleasant midrange resonance, mono)
- main voice polyphony 2 notes (only 1 with rhythm, a small keyboard flaw sometimes skips notes during very fast polyphonic play)
- 12 OBS preset sounds {piano, organ, violin, trumpet, mandolin, bell, music box, guitar, sax, oboe, bass, harp}
- 12 OBS preset rhythms {waltz, bossanova, chacha, disco, march, rock, rumba, swing, tango, belero, newnew, blues}
- vibrato & sustain button
- volume +/- buttons (8 steps)
- tempo +/- buttons (22 steps)
- fixed key bassline accompaniment (toggled on/ off by "chord" button)
- "chordinst" button cycles through many accompaniment timbres
- 4 drumpad buttons {base, snare, closed cymbal, open hihat} (switchable to "samba" drum pattern mode)
- programmable drum pattern (monophonic)
- simple sequencer (record & play of 74 notes, no edit, quite useless because contents is erased as soon anything but "play" is pressed).
- sound generator like Feng Yuan 28061 (variant of My Music Center)
- CPU "?89E, ZT" (COB module)
- red flashing speaker rim LEDs
- key light on/ off button
- key lighting (2 modes)
- 22 demo melodies (nice polyphonic orchestrations)
- auto power- off
- came with plastic microphone and note stand
- jacks for AC-adapter, microphone (mislabelled "phones") and speakers
- The infamous Yongmei keyboards are obviously getting better; this one contains no such extreme cable mess anymore, and it fortunately now also has battery decoupling diodes (on a tiny separate PCB) to prevent the batteries from turning into handgrenades when operated through a power supply. But the sound still distorts badly during polyphonic play; apparently the amplifier is poorly designed.
There are 12 OBS sounds with the characteristic glassy chorus timbres; the vibrato button disables the chorus effect and adds a fast square vibrato, and there is also a sustain button. Unfortunately the instrument is only 2 note polyphonic and turns monophonic when rhythm is activated. The 12 OBS rhythms have each an optional bass line accompaniment (resembling Feng Yuan 28061) with selectable timbre; unfortunately it plays in a fixed key and thus is badly suited for melody play. There are also 4 drumpads with a programmable drum pattern (without accompaniment). The white keys have dim red LEDs underneath for key lighting; during rhythm they make complex walking light patterns and also the speakers are encircled by 2 spinning red lights so long any sound plays. There are 22 nicely made demo melodies usable for key lighting, and the key lighting is more complex than with older My Music Center variants. A small keyboard flaw sometimes skips notes during fast polyphonic play (despite the pressed keys light up correctly), but it is way less severe than with other such instruments, because it only occurs with really fast notes (possibly when temporary more than 2 keys are pressed, which makes it run out of polyphony).
