Sound: It is too difficult to set all of the parameters to get a good sound. I have an older model which if feel is easier to work with than the VL70M. The sounds are too difficult to set. I have even written many letters to Yamaha and have had some success with their tips, but they are still not true sounds. Feature: I have the WX5 next generation instrument which is a great looking unit and easy to play which the exception of the lower E flat key and the lower C sharp key. It takes some getting used to on this two keys. Quality: Well constructed and a fine looking instrument. Value: too expensive for the quality of sound I am able to produce with the unit. Manufacturer Support: I have sent many emails trying to get someone to help me set the paramenters. Did get some help on the woodwinds, but nothing on the brass sounds. Overall: I am not really satisfied with the unit. I paid over $1,200 for the instrument and the sound module and I must say that it is not worth that much money since no one can actually give the parameters that make it worth using.

Sound: The best sounds for windsynth, once you have the Patchman chip installed :) Ease of Use: Again, once you install Matt Traum's chip from Patchman Music... it's the best. Quality: Power unit died, but easy to replace. Second-hand unit just died, so I'll be buying a new one asap. Manufacturer Support: Unfortunely Yamah don't sell this in Europe, so you cannot get a european guarantee :/ Overall: Fantastic possibilities for sonic creation and control, whether you emulate real instruments or not. I don't.
