Rack unit.
Sample player with limited editing capabilities. (Envelope of volume and sustain). Characteristics number of sounds and polyphony were given above.
Ambient effects only (flanger, reverb, delay)
Midi in out thru
6 audio outputs (4 or 2 usable mix)
Not the norm gm for those who want to read sequences.
Expandable card pcm

UTILIZATION

Can be configured by trial and error because the opportunities are still limited. But better use the manual that is easy for those who do not know the logic roland at the time (tone / patch / patch)
Edition Front impractical, there are a publisher pc.
We can save his job by sacrificing the factory settings can not be recovered in loading from an external source. (Attention. ..)

SOUNDS

Sounds related to the productions of time.
For acoustic instruments is not terrible (piano and guitar)
The sax and brass are fine.
Sounds "synths" are related to what was happening at the time, there are sounds of d50.
Organ and strings usable.

The response to aftertouch is a bit limited for my taste.

In fact I only use the cards cfm (electric guitar and sax). Especially that of the sax which is said much good. It is true that realism supports the comparison with recent productions (expressiveness and feeling of breath).
I have the card sax for 1 month and I can not get enough. I keep this rack because of it. When I play with my arranger, he is controlled by a master keyboard to my right, all available for a sax solo or organ.
The effects are good.

OVERALL OPINION

Used since 2007, I regret that the keys are not backlit or more readable when it is necessary to make a change at a party.
I like it for some cards cfm (sax) and the price at which we can negotiate when you do not want to invest much.
For the same money I will ever be the same choice.
