Bluebird,
I agree with your logic. My EM-20 has 8mb wave ROM and EXR-3 has 8mb wave rom. The EM-20 has 325 (from memory) voices and EXR-3 has 510. It doesnst work out that way practically. The EXR-5 voices sound marginally better then the EM-20. The DSP's (Roland calls it MFX) is very good on the EXR-5. There is all kinds of functionality on the EXR-3/5 that are not on the EM-20.
I was not comparing the EXR-5 to the EM-20, I was comparing Yamaha PSR550 to EXR-3/5. The PSR550 has 8mb was ROM as well with 700 voices. The sweet voices on the PSR550 are unbeatable, but Roland beats the Yamaha on many of the other voices IMO.
The only voice that concerned me on the EXR-3/5 was the accoustic grand piano voice. I have asked several times and no one has responded. I'll repeat it again. Can someone comment on the EXR-3/5 accoustic grand piano voice. Does it sound electric to you?
I would have been very interested in upgrading to the EXR-5, except for the piano voice.
