Bill there is no denying they are different instruments. One can play backing accompaniments that follow your chords and can remix songs instantly the other cannot. i think that just about covers it ! (i am being cheeky mate dont get offended but in essence thats the truth if you hav any creative juices at all)

I am not making any point about the features that are different. I am making the point about the features that are common to the making of pretty much any keyboard based music you can imagine, and the features that are present that lend themselves to all kinds of possibilities for musicians who want to make music . Unfortunately i am starting to believe that a distinction should be made between a musician and someone that simply collects the next best keyboard and braggs about features they dont even know how to use fully in a musical sense, just bigger ram, more filters, more effects etc and never understand how it any of those features can be fully utilised musically which unfortunately is a real problem .

In fact it is the dominant factor that prevents many from using their imagination even to consider possible uses of the tools they already have both in the arranger and workstation world

look at this old demo of the G70 done by this older fella who has used his skills and knowldge of the instrument to put together this brilliant demo.

You cannot tell me , honest you cant :-) that even by todays standards this instrument does not have limitless possibilities ..

I only discovered this demo this morning. Roland would have sold a boat load more G70's if they had used this demo instead of the american ones on the roland site.

tell me what you think
