Its a very underated board under the major 3, it has different engines, FM, VA, PCM. It has a sampler on it. I think the strings are not as good as the fantom, but the it has the best synth engine of all them. The drumkits are pretty good too for a workstation. For pads its the top, pianos are good, accoustic, some great some not, but thats with any board. It really is a great workstation with great potential.
