Ease of Use

Easy! The Step programming is something you can really jump right into. Didn't come with a manual, there is one available online.

One voice polyphone. No effects, no expansion, and yes, there is a step sequencer. You can change the wave form too. Not a lot of features... but that's not what this unit is made for.
Expressiveness/Sounds

Are you making music that ISN'T electronic? If yes, don't get this. It is *the* sound of Acid but not much else. I'm not sure how Roland thought they could sell this as a replacement for a live bass player.

Reliable... yeah. But OLD. Treat it gently and it'll last forever.

It makes the sounds it's supposed to make. I sold it about 6 months afterwards because it wasn't the sound I wanted at the time. If you are looking for the 303 sound I'd **highly** suggest looking at the Future-Retro FR-777 it emulates a 303 PERFECTLY and is way more flexible, more knobs=more fun.
