Ease of Use
:
9
Still using ver.1.00 but have downloaded ver. 1.21 from E-MU's website but have no need to upgrade yet. The presets sound good and give you a good template for change. Editing is very straight forward. The manual would have been huge if not for the CD supplied with the unit.
Features
:

64 voices is adequate but not as much as my Proteus 2K. The biggest plus is expansion. I have downloaded new arps and new lead sounds from E-MU's website. There are 63 new lead presets that were just posted over the weekend and the arp presets along with some additional presets were posted about 2 months ago. I have also purchased the PurePhatt ROM(ROM from the MO'PHATT)to put in the extra expansion slot that is provided(shipping soon).
Expressiveness/Sounds
:
9
Geared more for Techno, but when I add the Phatt ROM, that will add a whole new genre. The sounds are good, I just hope E-MU keeps posing new ones frequently.
Reliability

Have had a great relationship with customer support.
Overall Rating

I would definately buy it again if I had to. I also own the Proteus 2K and the Launch Pad buy E-MU, an O1/wfd and M1 by Korg and a D-50 and Juno-1 by Roland.
