It has a friendly interface, easy-to-use MIDI sequencer/drum sampler, and velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads for expressive play. 2 separate effects processors plus a main-out processor can be used simultaneously. Also 2x2 pole filters per voice, 2 Q-link sliders for realtime control, and 16MB capacity expandable to 128MB. It saves/loads data to the included 32MB CompactFlash card and connects to computer via USB for drag-and-drop convenience. 2 MIDI in, 2 MIDI out.
