I'd agree, to an extent, on the push button thing!! My Asr10 had a replacement button panel a couple of hundred hours or so use ago, and that's on its way out also now!! I've tried to be less hamfisted on the new buttons but it seems to be fading all the same. They feel horrible and make you feel the thing is going to break any moment. They let the otherwise excellent build quality down big time.
Still, it must show that I use it a lot, and apart from the buttons, the thing still goes like new.
Pound for pound (or Dollar for Dollar) I've never seen anything that comes close to it.
The reverbs could have more control, but there's always the output expander. The sequencer is a slouch, but who doesn't own a computer these days. It get far to hot, but it never crashes (I must be lucky (: )
All this aside, if I get an idea, I can pretty much recreate it quickly and fairly easily on this keyboard. Not many bits of kit can do that on their own.
Oh and another thing, the bass kicks Akai's ass (or so I read in a magazine!).
Bought this thing new, a few years ago now, and it's still the one I turn to when starting a project.
Never regretted buying it, and never will.
Anyone who can't get results from this machine may as well give up music!!
