My BK7m was delivered yesterday and I played it for several hours last night. I used my Tyros4 as a controller and only had the audio from the BK7m coming thru the same speakers Tyros4 plays thru. Most of the styles I tried didn't have the audio quality of tyros4, but I only played things right out of the box. I'll have to look at the audio settings later. Many people have had positive comments on Rolands drumsets. I must agree. They are more live sounding than tyros4, and I thought tyros4's drums were better than previous models. There is a style called light rock that is almost exactly like a style of the same name on my tyros4. I swear it was written by the same person? There are many styles that are extremely similar. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

I think I will keep this module. I'll explore it more tonight. I also plan to use it as a sound module on my computer. I like the Sonar LE that came with it. The Roland/Cakewalk site wouldn't let me register it last night. There was a problem with amazon it said. Will try again tonight too. It should be fun to sequence music again. I used to use pgmusics powertracks years ago. Even before that I remember using hardware sequencers. I had a Yamaha QX-5 for years and I loved it. I won't miss all of the manual entry!! -charley
