I don't know if the EXR-40OR has chines instruments, what I do know is that it's a replacment to the Em-55OR which is a complete middel eastern/turkish keyboard. I'm assuming the EXR-40OR is going to that Road. I came to that conclusion because the keyboard has a scale with arabic writings on it and the first style that's showing in the pictures is a saidi Modern-1 style. I know that the GW-7 does have chines instrument or so I hear. Scott if your looking for just sounds, I recommend the Roland Fantom-X wih the World expansion. The World expansion covers A Lot and I mean A lot of chines instrument. or you could consider the G70 with the world expansion card too.
