Roland SRX12 Board Customer Review

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
Sound quality is smashing if you're out to get that vintage sound from the 70's... that's what I've extracted from it.
Features
This card doesn't have any rhythm jams on it. And the sound selection offered was pretty tiny compared to what I've paid for on other srx cards.
Ease of Use
Haven't read the manual, there's a lot to be said and not read about plug and play.
Quality
I'm glad I purchased it. It adds to my keys library. The sound is pretty warm considering it's coming from a digital place.
Value
I was getting a good deal on it and it's selling for mo' on the net and other joints. Still think I wasn't getting enough for the asking price (the list price and what I actually paid for it). They could have added mo'. The presets from #51 and on only operate on certain Roland devices (go check) and they're not all that.
