Wow!!
This discussion really underscores how much we have to demo keyboards our selves and not depend on others.


When listening to a review of a keyboard from another member we have to take in to consideration what brand of keyboard the person has and is using, the playing style of the person and the taste of the person.

I am just so amazed as to how the G70 has so much different opinions.

The only thing with going to hear a demo of the G70 now after reading these reviews, is that we would probably be listening with a more critical ear so we may not give it a real unbiased opinion.

You see if we go and demo a Yamaha Tyros, Korg Pa1x, Gem Genesys or Ketron Sd1, we have more or less read relatively good reviews so when we demo them we are not thinking --------- this keyboard is bad let me see if it can prove me wrong----. However, with demoing the G70 now, that is probably the attitude we will have whether consciously or subconsciously.

Also, we have to make sure that we know where to find the “good” sounds on the keyboards. Sometimes, they are not the first sounds you hear. They may be hidden!!!

With 192 mb of sounds, I fail to see how the sounds on the G70 can be useless. Unless there are no sound editing features on that board.

I do agree that sounds are important but for me, factory presets are not as important as what I could do with them. I want to know if I am going to be forking out a lot of money, I want to know that I can personalize the keyboard (sounds, styles memories and so on) to my liking and needs. The totality of the keyboard is very important to me.
