Pretty Impressive for a $395.00 arranger. 61 keys, floppy disk drive, GS sound set, 64 good styles with the style morphing feature allowing you to combine different elements of two styles, Roland's basic, advanced and full orchestration modes. But, the best feature I found is the ability to load and play any style ever created on other Roland arranger keyboards. This means that if I want a ethnic type style created in an oriental keyboard, etc. I can play it! At this price range that's really cool. Also, I can play standard midi files directly from the disk or I can record whatever I play and save it as a standard midi file. It also features single or dual voice on the right hand and a split voice on the left. All parameters including volumes, octaves, effect types and depths can be programmed and then stored in 8 performance locations. All in all, a very nice keyboard to compete against the Yamaha PSR350. There is no pitch bend or modulation wheel but this is an Italian made roland keyboard with some really good features. I just got them in today and didn't expect this much compared to the EM10's we had last year which had basically nothing special to offer for the same price.
