Feature:
I bought it as a stand-alone product because I already had a few Roland RPC-1 cards to interface it to my computer.
It is an excellent combination of audio interface and control surface within Cakewalk Sonar 4 Producer Edition using the Roland SI-24 Control surface plug-in. I love it.
Quality:
Seems to be built nicely. Looks great.
Value:
I'm amazed at what the SI-24 + RPC-1 card can do at this price point. I simply cannot imagine it being any better for my needs.
Desirability:
Motorized faders - are you kidding me - when they work properly (like they do in my setup all the time) - that's about as sexy as it gets - at least in regards to digital music hardware and software! :)
Sound:
It is perfect for my needs. Recording at 44k, 24-bit in Sonar 4 Producer Edition.
Support:
I love Roland, but I do tend to think sometimes their online support is a bit incomplete - especially for a product like this that isn't exactly mainstream. On the other hand, if you call them up, you can usually get a hold of someone very knowledgable and helpful for any need you might have.
Overall:
I think this thing is great. There is really nothing about it I don't like. My only complaint I guess is that its popularity does not seem very widespread making it much more challenging to get support for it if needed. But since it's working perfectly for me, I'm not worried about that currently.
