I will give my review after the weekend..Some of you will be surprized at what I have to say...Most of what George and Burkels has stated are acurate with a few exceptions..I will explain later...My first impressions were not overly positive[right out of the box], but with some changes in my set up, my opinion may be different..I have to keep in mind that the EXR5 is $800 list...What may be different in my review, I try to push the limits to find what it can't do and how to get the most out of the board...Just about every Roland I have owned, I have found tricks or methods to do what Roland says it can't do..We shal see...All this typing and I haven't said anything yet...
