Does anyone have any thoughts on this new model? I'm interested in home recording straight to CD-Rs, and I like the idea of having a sampler and sequencer all in one. Any help would be appreciated.

I think it's a cool start but I understand it needs to write and read off a CDRW as you are working. If that's true it might be very slow and frustrating to work with. Awkward at best. Research it carefully.
 
Yo Bay of the East:

I think Roland came up with that product in a hurry to offer some competition to Yamaha's 4416 and their new 2816.

I have the 2816 and it's a great box. But, like other good Yam products, the manual is a vacuum. However, there is a tutorial built in with a prerecorded tune which lets one get his/her brain straight about the whole system.

So, as Digiboy said, look it over carefully. Seems like double work to get to the final product.

Thanks for the tips. I'll check out the Yamaha one. I'll also try doing a demo in the store to see how it operates.
