Released March, 2008
The Pros:Graphical touchscreen looks impressive and high-end.
The Cons:Audio output seems low-quality, tinny. Instructions don't give many details on how the controls work. Controls are tricky to use even after you're used to them.

Parametric adjustments are made through the unit's graphical color touchscreen, with a number of display angles available in addition to various background colors for true user customization. Two different user modes - "Easy" and "Expert" are available for new and experienced musicians, offering tailored interfaces for both production and performance settings. 8 sliders and 2 switches are fully assignable to any number of parameters for on-the-go physical adjustment, with options including virtual organ drawbar functionality and specified level control of external outputs.
