Ease of Use: 5 not that easy.you might confuse using sequencer,tone shaping.XP 60-80 is better.
Features: 7 good expending capibilities.RPS rocks.transposing is well thought.sequencing functions are pro enoungh,better than Korg,unlike some KORG's,do write transposition to songs(GM or not).but when you read direct from disk,some flaws come out.
Expressiveness/Sounds: 8 1080 quality ,industry standrad for that time(1995-98).piano,strings,ac gutars,bass are good.brass,rock organs,el guitars and ofcourse reed (like Sax)sucks.You can't beat Korg's Sax,can you?drums -not punchy.effects -so so.
Reliability: 6 light but not as hard as other gear.some cheap plastic parts.
Customer Support: N/A ok
Overall Rating: 7 I exchanged with my Korg X3 since I need a key with sequencer+direct disk play.Was it worth it?not so.the drums sucked,the keys are not as reliable as Korg gear,low performance memory(64),hard to learn sequencing,some bad or jumpin'direct disk play.good pianos and more sounds that Korgs but when it's time to solo(espicially live)it is a weak one.good and clean output for studio use but not too good for live.
