I'm not that impressed with the onboard analog modeling synth, but I 
haven't had a chance to do any programming yet, so I don't know how good 
it can sound.  There are some bugs in the firmware yet (there's an 
upgrade expected soon), and I'm trying to track down a stuck-notes 
problem when driving certain softsynths.  But having said that, it plays 
more smoothly than the 3000, and has more MIDI mapping options. Assuming 
the bugs get fixed, I'm thinking of using it with a wireless MIDI setup, 
so I'll no longer be tied down.
