The amplified sound is not great. I compared it with PSR3000 and you can clearly see the amplified sound is terrible.
Ian: did you notice that ? maybe you got the new E-413 that fixes the problem
I played the E403 and found it very similar to the 413...but, sound is subjective.
I really liked the amplified sound, and I especially liked the filter...the 3K has a "purer" sound, no doubt, but I was very pleased with the E403 and E413...it could depend on what you played it through as I used stereo (two Yamaha MS60s powered monitors).
As arrangers they are not the most exciting instruments...but I was more interested in the synth controls and arps, which are very well done considering the price.
