Mostly I like the bass, I dislike the limited number and quality of sound effects. But I do not use a lot of sound effects so that was fine with me. The (acoustic)guitar could have been better also(thats after hearing the Fantom-S).
Sound
The sounds are crazy and the sounds you can create are out of this world.
Features
There is no sampling or line input and no sequencer.
Quality
It is a very rugged piece of equipment. Only five knobs and a dial that can break, I cant really think of any other possible way to damage it if it is well taken care of.
Value
For the price I paid, the machine is/was well worth it. To me it runs circles around the Triton Le and it doesnt have a sequencer. That is it only main weakness, no sequencer.
Manufacturer Support
I have never had to contact E-MU or Ensoniq whatever they would like to be called, but I have tried to contact them and it did not seem to be too complex.
The Wow Factor
Well personally I have not seem many sexy keyboards. But the styling and bland yucky green display would definitely put this one in the desperate need of styling police.
