If you are an MC-909 owner/user making electronic dance music or anything within that realm...consider the SRX-05 a major power-up! Installation is a breeze and takes about 2 minutes. It will take you HOURS to get through all the new sounds you'll have on board...trust me, I agonized for days over which board to add on to the 1-expansion slot of my 909 before finally pulling the trigger. Overall I'm extremely satisfied with my choice and discover new sounds and inspiration every time I fire up my groovebox.

Many reviews say this expansion board is amazing. Roland advertises that it has all the sounds of the sr-jv80 synth expansion boards and other boards as well. I have the sr-jv80 synth expansion board and all the sounds of this board and the others Roland says comprise this board are NOT there. There are lots of patches for sure. Usability of the patches for most musicians, well it's not there. So, one is paying lots of money for a limited number of good sounds. In comparison with the sounds and patches on the sr-jv80 expansion boards, well it's just not there. Sure, the enhanced sampling is great. But sr-jv80 boards are vastly superior and I will continue to use (and treasure) my xp-30 keyboard that utilizes the sr-jv80 patches.

Awesome sound and features. I haven't even begun to plumb its depths. The LCD fix is around $150, and less if your tech guy will talk to Roland and have your original recep't. Try to find one with memory card, RAM already installed, and especially with an extra sound card installed. This is the way they kept price down, all the extra necessities add up. Only disappointment is the limited number of factory patches, though they are quite good.
Really good and practical synth. Very good sound quality. 4 outputs. 64 user presets (combis). Digital soun recorder. Thin, light and small. And the best of all, it's really cheap for its features...
Excellent for writing music and processing with my computer. Keys have realistic feel and sound is superb! Synthesizer produces lots of "cool" sounds and effects.
