"Before you go and buy the Keboard...."

Sound:

Best sounds to compete with the Fantom X. Guitar bank has a few realistic "whaka" strumming sounds. Its sooo enticing.

Feature:

No sequencer, but that doesent stop the arpeggios from working like one. Can be sequenced by using midi tracks that send data to the motif while in Multi Mode. THEY NEED A COLOR SCREEN. Roland has already done this in the Fantom X and the V synth.

Quality:

Sturdy very buttons seem strong.

Manufacturer Support:

Only called once, had to call back in 24hrs

Value:

Pretty much worth the money because of the sounds and usb support

The Wow Factor:

Well I have it. I also had the ES8, which i returned to get this. Plan on keeping it

Overall:

Trust me, if you use software sequencers, you are better off getting this and a Keyboard controller like the Keystation Pro88 or CME. Don't bother with the ES6, 7, or 8 unless you do live shows.
