You welcome Starkeeper. I had actually spent an hour with the EM 55...enjoyed some of the saxes and strings....what disappointed me was an instrument called "voice dahs"...I played the same instrument on the EM2000 sitting next to it and it sounded better...It does have some good sounds...they're not well organised though...but I realise now that 48mb vs 20mb makes a huge difference....i will wait...if next years Roland is too expensive then I think I would rather get an EM 2000. It may not have as many sounds as the EM 55 but the quality on most of the sounds is better...
Starkeeper..lets hope the next Roland Arranger has atleast 96 mb
