It is selling for $399 at Sam Ash. The module has several different present scales (pelog, "Arabic", just, etc.) and the ability, so I'm told, to make your own microtonal scales, not limited to the 12-note octave. True? Easy to use? Fine tunable? I'd appreciate any reports, advice. 2) There was also a used Roland JV-1080 for $799. It seemed a bit more complicated to make user-defined scales. Anyone out there with experience with this module? Thanks again...
