Thanks Fran. It's a good looking keyboard with a GREAT keybed feel but it is waaayyyy too complicated to explore without digging deeply into the manual. You're right about it being a workstation vs performance board as it seems to make no concession to ergonomics and/or easy navigation. The voices are numerous but I never thought they were even close to say the Kronos (which I always intended to trade it for, but never did). I've never been heavily into sequencing or sampling so a lot of the power and features of this board were completely wasted on me. At the time I bought it, it was just too pretty to resist but basically, I enjoy playing way more than 'fiddling' around with menus, knobs, dials, and buttons. I guess (electronically) I like (performance-oriented) SYNTHS more than the more feature-rich WORKSTATIONS. Oh well.
