Feature:
tonewheel organ simulator is great. use sliders as drawbars. level sliders, assignable knobs, EQ knobs, control of effects right where you need it. best weighted kybd action ever - balanced like a real piano. it needs: a data entry wheel, slider or knob for live parameter changes instead of using increment buttons - ability to edit & store single sounds instead of just multisound setups - another set of assignable stereo outputs - more than 1 effect besides chorus & reverb (the effects are awesome) per setup - more SRX expansion, like 4 or 6 instead of 2. all of this would make it perfect.

Quality:
i've dropped mine several times - it's solid as a rock.

Value:
totally professional sound out of just 1 keyboard. decent control features.

Desirability:
i've convinced a few of my friends to get them already... it's nice looking.

Sound:
high quality sounds. best meat & potatoes unit for gigging keyboardist ever made. it covers needed sounds & lots of styles w/ very low cheese factor. i've used it live, on recording sessions & for multitibral MIDI stuff w/ no problems. it does what you need it to do. tweaking factory patches yields the best results. i sometimes wish Roland would concentrate more on quality than quantity....

Support:
the roland guys on the phone are nice, but they usually can't help me because i knnow more about their stuff than they do.

Overall:
i hope Roland makes an RD-800 w/ the features described above. i would definitely buy that. i already have another one of these in my closet new in the box just in case...

"I love it, it a giggin' machine!"

Sound:
I mostly use it for its piano/rhodes/wurly/clav sounds. The action is great, exellent response, quality sounds, and a wah sounds awesome with it. The keyboard is user friendly, though I dislike the configuration of a couple function I never use anyway. I've been gigging with it for a year and a half and couldn't be happier. Now the only thing Roland has to do is make it weigh about 5 pounds.
