Seeing as they have ALREADY styled it for the GW-8L (Latin) and the GW-8E (Eastern Europe) models, and also an Asian version, and we have heard nothing so far about a specific US version, personally I doubt it (or it will be the usual half-assed RolandUS effort.

Somebody at Roland Japan needs to come over here and put a rocket under RolandUS's arranger division. They have utterly bollixed up the marketing, promotion and distribution of Roland arrangers in this country to the point where you can't hardly find them, and even factory web demos are pathetic, lackluster afterthoughts that must leave their competition chortling with glee.

These guys have lost it, and need to be replaced wholesale... Then retail might improve!


Hello

I was looking through the GW-8 manual in hopes that the onboard sequencer allows dubbing or re-recording of style parts (chord sequencer?)instead of just one part at a time. Can anyone confirm this based on the manual? I know that the Roland E series sequencer didn't do this and my current Korg PA800 also doesn't currently do this.

As an example I mean this:

1.)I start a song and record a performance using style data and song data which means the sequencer records style information across 16 parts. I record 8 measures.

2.)Next, I decide I want to create the next section of the song and choose measure 9 to punch in and hit record. I capture 8 more measures.

Does the sequencer capture record parts 1 thru 16 along with the style data? Or does it only allow me to record 1 part/track at a time?

It does say you can "punch in" performances, and styles are part of performances. Maybe I'm reading too much into this. I would love this ability.

thanks
Brian
