I think that the few people into arrangers these days are us... If you look at keyboard retail sites like Sweetwater, Thomman etc, and sort by 'most popular' you've got to look way down the list to find a mid-line arranger or better. The only things

I didn't know you had to buy the new Styles, just saw they were available. Bummer. Like you said. I also have tons of older Styles and I'd hate to lose them. And Roland not looking back to what we have is also shortsighted but I guess they figure wh

If I remember correctly though, the only Roland styles you can add are strictly purchased styles directly through their portal. If you've got 30 years worth of styles from every major Roland arranger and converted styles from other brands, too bad.

Couple of thoughts: Yes Diki hit it. For live performance its all about the vocals ! Update on my misguided interest in the Roland FP e50.. Yes you can add new Styles from Roland. I'm not sure of the complete process but there are others available,

If you're going to buy replacement boards before a tech has pinpointed the problem, I'd start with the power supply board. A lot cheaper. It might fix the issue, it might not. If it does, you've saved a lot of money. With brick and mortar music stor

So you are going to buy a main board? when all the problem might be a tiny SMD on the Main Board, or worst it might not even be on the Main Board, and you'll end up with two Main Boards... A Roland Tech at a Roland repair center can pinpoint the pr

I have a BK9 I bought it second hand about 5 years ago and I have literally never seen one for sale again in the entire country... it makes me wonder how many actually sold in Australia when they were released!

I think my Roland tech told me the cost of my replacement boards if I was outside warranty would have easily been $1200+ 😱 In fairness, it's the main motherboard, so a large part of the $3500 I paid for the G70 new... If you can find an excellen

the cap replacement was advice from my uncle who was an electrician all his life (over 40 years). But he had never worked on any electronic keyboards and he also said its potentially just a starting point. I did it over a year ago and nothing changed

Sometimes gear has a "diagnostic mode" where you hold certain buttons during boot and the instrument will diagnose itself. The service manuals that describe these procedures are closely held by authorized service centers and not usually re

There is no reason to replace caps without knowing exactly what the problem is, you could be creating more problems in addition to what you already have. Plus Techs don't like to repair things that inexperienced folks monkeyed around with... The be

I just took a look back in our archives for that period. But I can't find a post I may have written about it. At that time I mostly participated in the RolandG70.com forum, which I think morphed into the Roland-arranger.com forum, both now sadly long

I had a BSOD (blue screen of death!) early on when I first got my G70 (still under warranty) and I hate to tell you this, but they swapped out the entire motherboard and I think power supply to fix it 😱 Now, it WAS under warranty and parts were s
