Hey Gonz,

The command stations have a much greater range of sounds, and the sounds can
be edited in far more depth.

The XL ROM alone seems to have more varied sounds than the 505, while
covering the same general area (909/808/TB303 sounds etc.) the arpeggiators
are much more powerful, and well suited to the instruments.

The Beat Garden has some great guitar sounds, paired with much more
convincing arpeggiators than the 505. The basic tones on the command
stations are much richer than those on the 505, and the depth of editing
available, especially the filters, completely blows the 505 away. In terms
of the interface, the sliders on the 505 are hard to beat, (although the
multi function knobs on the command stations are great) and there are only 2
effects processors compared to 3 on the 505. The effects routing is also
more limited in some ways, as there are only 4 sends, compared to the 505's
7+7 drums, but the effects are of  a higher quality IMHO. Also, on the
Command Stations, you can send a sound to a seperate output, and still send
it to the on board effects processors, which is not possible on the 505.

Cheers,

Jason
