Tommy,

Many thanks for the manual link, awesome!!! Just finished reading and I'm extremely impressed as to how much functionality Roland has managed to provide in such a small footprint, including full Patch and Performance editing! Looks like the XV presets that were originally ported over to the Fantom keyboards will also work with the SonicCell, which is fantastic because I actually preferred many of these Patches over the stock Fantom ones. It will be intriguing to hear the new sounds developed for this module. Can't wait!!!

Yeah, this box is going to be freakin hot for sure! I'm all hyped up about it now. I'm taking the extra money I'm saving from "not" having to buy a Fantom X6, and putting that elsewhere. Trying to decide where to pre-order from now.

This is so great, now I don't have to do all those computers upgrades either.. I was going to upgrade my ram, and soundcard, but this little box will handle the high latency workload internally and my puter can stay 6 feet above ground rather than under

I know for sure I'll be buying an SRX expansion board from the top and that will be the SRX-06 "Complete Orchestra". I'll probably add the SRX-01 later down the road. Man I'm just so freaking stoked this thing is under $800.......

I've also decided that I will be buying a PSR-S-700 as well. I'm going to put it on a very nice stand and keep it in the living room.

Ahhhhhh sweet music baby!

For those of us with G70's that lament the fact there's only one SRX slot, this could be quite potent... Especially now we have a workaround for addressing ANY external PC#/CC32/00 from the Keyboard Parts...

I think the box is going to be a steal for the price! Two SRX slots instead of one is also a very big plus. Have you guys seen Roland's promo video for this unit? Here's the link: http://rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=897&ParentId=72

It's a good video. They demo a few sounds and explain the features.

Should have read thread more carefully, manual link already posted.
Paul.

Darn Squeak, every time you come up with something, I end up spending money . This thing does look like a must-have, Swiss army knife, for any home or project studio. As far as that low initial price, though; I smell the "Barbie Doll" syndrome. You're not going to be happy 'till you fill those two (expensive) SRX slots. Oh well. Beats leaving it to the grandkids. Besides, at the moment, I'm nearly out of Roland sound sources (an old SC55 and the on-boards in my A70 controller kb) which I have always liked. Cheers.
