The sound is different from Yamaha, but I've found it to be outstanding in both sound and styles areas.
It may well turn out it isn't the solution for me either, but the jury is still out.

Just a question, Don.

In the on-line style demos of the BK-7m, the styles sound like they have more seperation and detail than Roland's other arrangers like the G-70 or E-80...even the E-50 or perhaps the Prelude GW-8...at least, to my ears.

I mentioned the E-50 because I know you use one, so now that you have both the BK-7m and the former, how do they compare in that area?

Are the BK-7m's styles more detailed (with better seperation) than the ones in your E-50 (especially similar or the same styles) or is the difference more or less negligible in real-life playing?

I'm tickled Roland made a module...they made some great ones in the past (RA-50/90/800), which I made good use of, and maybe this module is only the beginning of a line of progessively more powerful units?
