His part is very clear and you understand everything right away, otherwise .....
obliged to open the user manual to set the midi channel ....... an expander!!
no switch for leslie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UTILIZATION

8 / 10 when used alone, 4 / 10 configuration in a complex MIDI ........

SOUNDS

Nothing to say, great!

OVERALL OPINION

We just lend me one, I did a test on stage ..... I focus on just global opinion because everything has been said or nearly so, and regard that is essentially sound, there's nothing to say it's great! but for the rest ........
sorry but I do not think Roland has understood everything, and that lack of control at the foot leslie is a detail, it is a huge mistake, it's foutage of mouth! at least we can choose any MIDI events for the control of the leslie, this will be a minimum, and more versatile with the type of keyboard is used, it is not easy to have a configuration with a master keyboard that can swing control 80 with a switch! Increasingly, I think he does not receive MIDI volume! (I'm not sure yet but I have not found, and the function setting screen is noon without a catastrophe) if it is for us to peddle the pedal volume € 160, well done! In any case, I have a Triton, it sends no control on the switch 80, and I can not control the volume of VK8M, so for me it UNUSABLE !!!!! in addition, from what I saw, it receives MIDI either omni or on channel 3 (upper, lower and pedal), so it's in MIDI chain with other expander is great, either receives all orders and is the cacophony, it is already three food channel on its own: and yes, setting the MIDI channels is from 1 to 16, there's not even a midi off! !!!!!
to an expander to € 1000 and the twenty-first century, type the channel setting afternoon with notes on the keyboard, it does not! frankly, a small LCD, LED see 3 or 4 it would not cost more .......
ending with MIDI, it does not keep in memory the command "Soft Through" (out for MIDI .... that becomes MIDI Through)
Finally, as often, a machine that could be a must if they had two fingers of savvy and more ........
yes I am a bit hard, but so many do, the keyboard version is definitely more interesting will be what to do touch ...... an expander of any kind has to have a comprehensive MIDI implementation!

I go back and moderates my comments above, we can handle the "volume" control by the 11 words, so good!!
for the leslie, it's really a mistake, there's a plan with midi solution that make small box handy twelve o'clock, one footswitch control, allowing to assign a control foot ......
