"Roland does it better!"

Feature:
So many features you'd have to be a 40 year old virgin with no job to completely learn them all. All it came with was the power supply and fantom librarian, but every retail business makes money by selling accesories seperatly, so its to be expected, as it is this board has pretty much every thing you need to make awesome music besides creativity. It'll only be as good as the person playing it!

Quality:
THis board seems to be quite sturdy, solid feel to all buttons and knobs, the keys are a little light and fluffy but the good definatley weighs out the bad in this case.

Value:
buy it! it's worth more than its retail, doesn't matter what style of music you play, versatile is this things middle name

Desirability:
I have a girlfriend, she's sexy as hell, I see this board for its inner beauty.

Sound:
The sounds on roland and boss products never cease to amaze me, very clean and realistic. Love the acoustic guitars and synth sounds.

Ease of Use:
A little tricky in some areas, but not rocket science, (although reading the manual can be) you can always buy the dvd owner's manual if youy don't mind a stiff british accent through the whole thing, this video is VERY helpful.

Support:
Very little if any hold time, and the specialists are always very friendly and helpful

Overall:
Sampling, 1000 patches, realtime stretch pc card slot, 128 voices, it's impossible to find a match in this price range, go ahead, try!
