Due to the weight and 'live-ness' of the sound, I have to take Roland seriously when they slap the 'pro' monicker on the G70. The 76 keys (apparently, Yamaha know full well no 'home user' ever wants that!) alone must make it a 'pro' only piece of kit...!

Yamaha's lone foray into the 'pro' arranger field was such a disaster they seem to be blind to the fact that other manufacturers ARE making these things. And staying in business, as hard as that is to do, nowadays. I just feel sad that, despite having a very 'pro' OS (considerably more sophisticated than what 99% of arranger players must surely use - how many PSR players do you know that intermix arranger play and SMFs at the same time?!), they don't case it in something that matches their workstation line.

And don't let anyone kid you... probably as few workstation users are full time pros as arranger users! Yet they receive the full on treatment, no cut corners in build quality or sound. Only arranger users get that raw deal...

Why is that?
