I'll post my opinion of the board in a few days after I had a chance to set it up and put it through its paces. I also should point out I plan on using the E-50 in an existing setup and in tandem with a Boss Dr-5, Fantom XA, and Alesis Micron. What would be real cool is if I could sample stuff on the XA and trigger it during a live performace with the E-50. My other 2 setups includes a PSR-3000 paired with the original motif 6, and a Korg PA50 paired with a Microkorg.
