Small general remark:

I find certain quotes, from which the ARGUS is calculated, are too low for a workstation of this caliber ....

Note: I have a XP50 and, given the differences between the two models in the range, it will be wise to get your little one bargain price. However, I know you have the right to sell your hardware at the price you want.

Thank you.

It is a synth for the composition (both full sequencer for recording interpretation, arrangement of songs, editing settings).
The connection is sufficient for a set of medium-expander-type keyboard sustain pedal and company ....
The screen allows for easy editing of settings (sounds, movies ...). The polyphony is sufficient.
The range covered by the keyboard is suitable for keyboardists scenes (it's relative !!!).

UTILIZATION

Connoisseurs note 10/10. You have to know the synthesis Roland, for me, is an alternative to other types of synthesis (FM, subtractive).

Roland manuals are pretty clear, it is still necessary to spend a little time! (There are no free lunches!).

SOUNDS

The sounds are correct, they adapt to any style. However, as the synth is a little dated, consideration should be given to supplement the sound from another machine (expander + specialist + realistic !!!).

OVERALL OPINION

Most:
the sequencer.
Synthesis.
The keyboard (for keyboardists!).

The - (They are related!)
The expansions (but he can be a paste, or, it could easily controlled expander).
Sounds (same as above!)

+ The General of the workstation is that you can dial in an autonomous manner: playing on the keyboard, an idea comes, there was a small track or pattern, we add a track or pattern of support / agreement, once the battery and the piece comes ....( This may not be popular but hey ....).
