Yes, i like the soundquality of Roland-synths also very much, i
always wanted to have one, but what always stops me to buy one, is
the inconsistent userinterface. Roland synths are somehow way more
complex to use than Yamaha or others. I don“t know what it is with me
and Roland, but i always have trouble with them. The odd thing is,
that Yamaha synths usually have less knobs and everything, but still
i always catch much quicker how to use them.

Someone else made the same experience?
