I think Burkel's review is well written. I enjoyed reading your review. I think both of us realize, and probably Fran too, that this keyboard is a very good value at it's price range. Not being able to record or edit in detail on the board is a negative for some, but most of my customers just play the styles and sounds and don't do much adjusting.
I think I recorded using the sync. start button to start recording without having to push the start button. I'm not sure about this as I'm not with the EXR5 right now.
Can't wait to hear from Fran!
