Voices: absolutely incredible, from the acoustic/orchstral/pianos to electric/acoustic guitars, all there in abundance and guitars can sound incredibly realistic in a mix. Fender Rhodes there and very good too, wurlitzers helped by the extra insert effects such as tremolo etc which are mod wheel sensitive. I think for 'i wanna track from pressing one note' this doesn't do it so well that you can get on other keyboards but when you get the arps involved even when you run out of playing steam you can get a track up and running in minutes. Sampler: very quick and powerful, sampling with effects/inserts is very handy too. Loop remix is great for remangling samples/drum loops etc, v cool. Effects: Probably where this keyboard most impressed, 2 system, 1 master (global) and 8 inserts are more than enough. The range of the insert effects which are the same as on the A5000 sampler is brilliant from slice, through beat change through ring modulator etc.
