Well, here we go again. What is Roland thinking? I bought the BK-7M and it has really great sounds. Later I bought the BK-5 Keyboard thinking it would sound just like the BK-7M. Big disappointment - sent it back after only 4 days. Don't know why Roland doesn't jump back into the TOTL arranger market again.

Also good to see you back, Deane.
What is strange is that Roland has the content to use in TOTL arrangers, as evidenced in their Atelier line, and their extensive use of the incredible SuperNatural sound technology, which, is still being improved and advanced and marketed in their pro synthesizer line-up very successfully.
Whatever the reason, it is no doubt only known to the "higher ups" at Roland.
