That guy did some great audio vids for this model. I saw these some time ago. The E-09 sounds really good in many areas. The Warm Strings tone was very nice.., and it was nice to see some tones with the XP patch names ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) The only down side to these (for me) would be the lack of the most basic voice editing. I wouldn't mind having something like the E-09, but for myself..., I know there will be tones/patches that I would want to adjust the ADSR and filters on. If I bought a budget Roland arranger it would have to be the GW-8. I'd love to have a speaker version of the GW-8 and YES it exists in the Prelude.., but Roland jacked the price of that puppy up to $1,000 and took away patch editing ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/frown.gif) The E-09 would make a great affordable keyboard for someone needing that "out of box" sound though.

Plus..., how much can you really expect in the style department in this price range ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) Sure.., 4 variations would be nice, but for the price those styles still are quite nice..., and sure ain't no Casio either ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) For under $500 you get 64 note poly, good sounds, above average styles, 16 trk sequencer, a D-Beamn.., AND MIDI JACKS TOO! Get your hands on some instrument defs for this E-09 along with a half decent software app and you got yourself a decent sequencing keyboard too. If you're like me though and will probably feel the need to do some basic patch editing..., you may not be too pleased. However, the E-09 still offers a lot in the bang for buck catergory.
