i am quite surprised that someone would leave the forum because some people dont like the instrument he owns. Come on !!! Dont take the comments personally . I am certainly not trying to hurt anyones feelings here. my views are what i have experienced. Itriedf the Genesys too and did no buy it. I hope the Genesys owners dont disappear in disgust !

If you want to buy a product that did not sound good from the moment you demoed it and want to potentially make a mistake of paying a few thousand pounds "just in case" it was a good board afterall, then by all means do so. I for one need a board to look and sound like a winner from the begining. If the marketing and sales department at Roland could not be bothered to "tweak" the instrument so that it would sound more attractive to people when played next to their competitors by people who genuinly want to buy, Why should potential customers part with their hard earned cash ???

I am not a Techy or a keyboard tweaker (although i posses the interest and ability to develope those skills) i am an amateur musician who wants to play nice music with a great instrument. Sorry if this offends the tweakers!
