Does everything well Describes ... a big rack 2U, quite heavy, and mount points are not removable, so you have to keep with its "ears".

It is modular trs: expansion card, smart cards, memory cards, the computer connection ... But beware, Roland expansion cards are Chres trs.

UTILIZATION

I love: the large screen is trs, trs quickly called and they wanted The argument by the buttons directly under the notch ACCS (effect, control, LFO, FST, VAT hand ...). I have some buttons a little "stuck" on the MODEL that I bought used but must be the dusts ... (If you are looking for used, remember to test all the buttons, there are many!)

I like least: The instruments are put in the banks anyhow. In fact, all banks follow (A, B, C. ..), and the intruments are rpart in the continuity of a bank some horse the other. From Korg o everything is class (piano 1,11,21,31 ...), I am lost here, where there is no logic. We should have a sheet with all the instruments ct.

SOUNDS

I trsdu by the basic sounds. I plutt rock, and piano (classical and electromcaniques) trs are bad. The organs are better. All band instruments are trs bad.

on the other hand, for electronic instruments, is something else. The sheets are impressive, the LFO can intruments of "trance" trs funny, and effects, good quality add nice modulations.

So look after your musical style.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years, bought used. In fact, I used little, sounds n'tant not in my range. May be I should try to hack, but it's easier to tweak a sound to the techno gluglu that attempt to reproduce a flte traversire.

Before I used the Korg X5DR, and better suited my style.

So in fact any dpend your style or your needs: If your rock you, take a nordstage or something in the genre, if your more electro, take an analog synth. Sr Although this is not the same price range, or the same Comprehensiveness but the quality of sound is so much better!

on the other hand, it would be the right choice for a hacker who just wants to have a great range of sounds for films, effects spciaux ...
