Hello all!
I'm almost ready to purchase a new XV88, but have a few questions.
I have read that there are no digital outs built in, but what would the advantages be to having a digital out on a synth? I don't know what a digital out means.

Also, what effects are built in? Is a vocoder included?

About controllers-
What is a D-beam controller? and what is meant in the specs by "external sequence controller"? I know it is possible to connect the XV88 to an external sequencer thru midi, but must the sequencer be of a certain type (i.e. Roland)?

Thanks to anyone for your advice. As you know, in finding just the right instrument, I must know all the details...
