Digital keyboards have improved so much, especially in terms of actions. I'm still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of my Dexibell, but I love the sounds in this keyboard. The pianos are great, but so are many other instruments that I haven't been able to get on other keyboards. Without the app, I would be in trouble, because there's so much button pushing, which is hard for me. But the app makes it so much easier and faster. Someday, perhaps, I will master the keyboard, but even now, I am very happy with the beautiful sounds and the music I can make.

Coming from a Roland RD-800 that I purchased from Sweetwater in 2014, this was a multi-generational upgrade with so many bells and whistles that I felt a little bit overwhelmed at first blush, but man, have I grown to love this wonderful piece of equipment!

The USP of Vivo S10 is the beautiful, intuitive layout and real time flow control you have over the wide arsenal of parameters that the board provides you with. Everything is at a hand's reach and with some clever programming, this board can pull off any series of tweaks and effects that you can imagine! Good engineering is differentiated from great engineering by this one factor - the only limit that the product has is your own imagination and curiosity.

The sliders on the left, provide real time mixing control (volume, reverb, TW Organ etc.) which is a must-have in a live setting especially when you have to load multiple presets. The 2 wheels, 9 sliders as well as the 4 pedals (only damper is provided with the unit) are all fully customizable and assignable to a whole host of parameters for controlling the layers that you have programmed in any given sound preset.

The drawbar organ simulation and parameters are decent and can be layered along with other PCM based samples for padding effects. Honestly not much of an organ player so ymmv, but whatever sounds I have gotten out of the board so far definitely has a lot more life to it than other boards I have played before. T2L Menu deep diving is also available for organs, I haven't mined that deeply yet.

Audio FX Chains are setup next with up to 3 parameters for each layer you have programmed in - Main, Lower, Couple, Pedal (the latter 3 can be setup with split points). I am a little bit unhappy with the amount of presets they have in the factory sound library - can you imagine what a true synth nerd can program with 4 layers and 12 FX parameters with fully customizable knobs and sliders? Mind blowing! Programming and menu deep diving is definitely encouraged, but the tiny TFT LCD screen can be a little off putting and laborious especially considering the amount of parameters you can tweak and control.

Having so much control at your fingertips is truly what I appreciate about this board. The sounds themselves are great off the bat but T2L tweaking definitely enhances the presentation as well as the timber of the pianos. I have cooked up some great sounding pianos by layering the platinum sounds available on the factory library, but I am going to update my sounds with more samples available for free from the website. The piano keybed itself is wonderful and renders itself very well to expressive piano techniques and fast phrases easily.

The only thing I truly wish for is a Korg Kronos-esque sized screen with a decent display (doesn't have to support touch) considering the number of parameters that are customizable and programmable. I guess Dexibell had to stick with the smaller screen in order to keep the keyboard within the budget range of their market.

Buy this board without any hesitation. It will take you years to fully unpack and unleash this marvel of engineering to its fullest sonic potential but its definitely a rewarding journey worth looking forward to!

I am new to the Dexibell world. It's been a learning curve like any new instrument. But Sweetwater has been very kind to help me figure out some of the nuances. I am finding that the more time I spend with this, the more I'm convinced it's the most impressive sounding keyboard I have ever owned by far.
I love the touch with the wooded keys.
Using it with my DAW has been a breeze.
The sounds are rich and pleasing.

I am looking forward to spending many hours enjoying this great instrument. The more I learn, the more I like it.
So we'll see how the future unfolds with this great Keyboard. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates great quality.

Thanks again to the staff at Sweetwater for their professionalism and kind patience with me through the initial phase of learning

I'm only a fan and an audience member but I just saw Brian Culbertson play RVA in concert last night and he absolutely killed it on the Dexibell S10. It sounded fantastic as did the rest of his band. So there you have it ;)
