the final mix...the new ZR-76 has
everything you need to write your
next hit. The 76 weighted-action
keys are perfectly matched to the

SoundFinder™ – Makes locating
sounds a breeze. The left knob selects
the sound category, the right knob
selects the
individual sound. You can even use
the ZR’s keyboard to type in the first
few characters of the sound name to
instantly locate it.

with our new EXP-4 ROM
Expander installed. This 16 meg
expander
features William Coakley’s acclaimed
“The Perfect Piano™”, along with

drum machine is the perfect accompanist, with 8 fills and 8 variations per
rhythm, extensive rhythm and
drumkit editing, and seamless integration with the 16 Track Recorder.
