There are very few products like this on the market , the Yamaha DGX650 is one other , hence our video comparison , the Havian 30 however is on a more Pro Level .
I would call this product a hybrid , there a plenty of good weighted 88 key piano / synths about , like for example Roland RD800 , Roland FA08 are 2 great products that also have a great Piano sound and feel, but they don't do what the Havian 30 does.
Lets say you want to play a classic Piano , Bass + Drums Jazz Swing Style , all you have to do is select the style and play and the bass player will follow you, it can do this in either split mode where you give it a chord in your left hand or full keyboard mode where the bass player takes into account the notes you play in both hands.
And its not just a bass player , its a whole band that can follow what you play, but often you will like to customize the backing by easily taking out a brass stab or a vamping piano, as keeping it more basic can often make for a less "home keyboardy" and more professional sound.
The built in speakers may not be a requirement for everybody but it certainly is useful and sounds surprisingly good , its also a nice surprise when you come to pick the Havian up , as you would normally expect something that has 88 piano weighted keys and a built in speaker system to be a lot heavier than it is.
If you are gigging then it will go on a standard X Frame, if however you are going to keep the Havian in one place you would probably go for the optional stand , and here comes another nice surprise , the sustain or damper pedal will not have a mind of its own and make you into a budding contortionist , hurray ! yes it stays in one place. The Havian 30 , a great product, I love it !
