Yeah.., I can see the kiddies wanting the center cancel feature. Roland however isn't marketing this thing to the kiddies though. In all honesty Diki.., I don't think it's asking much for a $895 arranger to record a user style. Yamaha's lowest model that lets you record a user style costs $795. Not too long ago a $499 Yamaha could do it.

This thing costs nearly $900 too. You can get a budget workstation for close to that price, and get more indepth voice editing, and full sequencing with great editing... We see it differently I guess. IMO a board that runs nearly 900 smackers should be able to record or at least edit a style beyond what the GW-8 does internally.

I'm on the fence with this unit really. It's up in the air at the moment. What would I really be missing in terms of the sounds? It has a Fantom/SonicCell sound engine. Well.., I got a Fantom already.

I don't know.., sadly I'll never be able to play one anywhere near where live.

Diki...., can you post some examples of the Latin styles? I'd really like to hear a few of these.
