Value For Money : Excellent
Synth keyboard 5 octaves.
It has everything you need regarding the Controller.
Idem.
About 650 sounds, they are in real time thanks ditables DIFFERENT potentiomtres to the synth.
Editable through publishers noon, and those of MC505 SPECIFICATIONS.
64-voice polyphony.

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale hyper simple, intuitive trs.
The edition of effects and sounds is comfortable trs.
I do not have the manual, and have not needed, I had before him the MC-303 is the same architecture.

SOUNDS

They are suitable for this area of ​​distinguishing strengths of its weaknesses:

Strengths:
Bass (excellent), the drum kits, strings in the dual mode (a condition to choose one which is dominant acute and the other whose dominance is serious), the accordion, the brass and pads.

Weaknesses:

One would expect better for strings in single player ... especially coming from a Roland synth, they are of good quality but not enough coat. The choirs left DSIR, brown below the SY77, which was released 8 years ... tt ditto for the piano sounds. Why is not there be any strings juno?

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month.
The pros: Its ease of use, arpgiateur of madness, his intuitive squenceur trs is a workstation, its bass and drum kit, keyboard super matre.

the -: Some sounds, piano not up to what one might expect (perhaps be looking patches on the internet ... I happened on the Korg X5 to find a great piano internet while its presets taient not terrible in this area ...). It is advisable to complter its shortcomings by an expander that peak.

I have a Juno 60, Juno 1, a TG55, SY77 one, an 05R / W, a U220, it takes its place in this set. I had the juno 6, DX21, D10 and the MC-303. The JX 305 is significantly suprieur the MC303.

Trs quality good value for money, but knowing that the Juno D is 560 euros new, it agrees to purchase the jx-305 below 350 euros.

I Rasht this synth without problem. T yet had cooled by the previous ones opinion. So I tried as a store, intrigued by the observations of previous ones testing, and thinking that Roland had taken out a turnip. And surprise, I liked it and I'm not prt of resale.
