Hi All,

I'm currently looking for a keyboard to use both stand-alone and as a midi-controller in combination with programs like Fruity Loops and/or ACID.
As a complete novice I really appreciate your advise.
I've read some positive things about the Roland exr-line.
In the Netherlands the exr-3 can be purchased for about EUR 420. As the exr-5 costs some EUR 100 more I'm not really convinced weither the additional floppy drive and 5 Watt music power is worth the extra investment.
In the Synth Zone forums only the exr-5 is mentioned, what do you guys think of the exr-3 ?

As I have no legacy/history in floppy material ... would the usb connection be enough for me ?

Is there a big audio/quality difference between the exr-3 and exr-5 built in speakers/amplifier?

Thanks for your feedback.

Louis
