If you need a lot of 'standard' type sounds, this board is loaded with them(especially ap/ep/string/synth combos). The sounds themselves tend to sound better when sequenced, but it could also be my playing - which isn't the greatest, by any means.

I myself could've done without a lot of the drum samples, beats, and jams, but that's 1 only opinion. 512 slots in user RAM give you plent of space to save your own creations(this board has over 100 parameters to edit!).

One oversight was the lack of a smartmedia card slot. This is a great feature on newer synths, especially if you play live.

One small problem, and it's probably fixable with an OS upgrade: you can 'audition' sounds as you scroll through them. This is a great feature, but the volume level between the auditoned sound and the sound you hear when you actually play the board are radically different. If you value your speakers(and ears), watch those volume levels.

Comments About the Sounds:
A bit thin for some people's tastes, but great in a mix, especially rock and metal bands(but very cool for pop and some jazz as well).

(Thanks to Keith for this info.)
