selection of eight different instruments. Along with the Roland acoustic piano
sounds, both the ep-77 and ep-97 offer single-touch access to sounds such as electric
piano, vibes, harpsichord, organ, strings and choir sounds. One-touch features
like Tone Select, Chorus and Reverb further enhance their sonic qualities and
playing possibilities. Beginning and advanced players will appreciate the ep-77/97's
performance features like a built-in metronome for practicing, a song recorder
for capturing performances for playback, an Audio In/Out jack for practicing with
CD's or tapes, and dual headphone jacks for music lessons or playing duets. A
