Feature:
so many features... I've been using mine for almost a month and I've probably only scraped the surface of what this machine can do. Effects are a little slim, but considering all the ways you can shape your sound I don't care much.
Quality:
It is built to the point where chuck norris would have a hard time breaking it.
Value:
totally worth the price. you get so many features, such great sound, and so much entertainment that it is worth every penny.
Desirability:
duh, I own it.
Sound:
sounds are varied and all incredible. you can create just about any sound on this thing, and everything works great. the d-beam and time trip pad give this thing incredible expression and even though it is really complicated, you can get whatever sound you're aiming for.
Ease of Use:
the touch screen and all the knobs work great, I just gave it an 8 because the manual takes some "thoughtful interperetation." still, once you read the manual and figure everything out, it is really easy to find a sweet spot.
Support:
I haven't dealt with roland, I just based this rating off of the manual that came with it.
Overall:
Overall: great sound, and it is just incredibly fun! Its pro quality (and cost) but it is really entertaining and will blow anything out of the water.
