Let's face it the G70 in all its glory maybe has had it's time and is a bit dated to some,....meanwhile Roland is moving forward with new technology in the arranger keyboard arena with the upcoming release of the New 76 key, dual screen, Voc processor, Chord looper, etc, BK-9 backing keyboard,......Rumored speculation is all over the place but no one really knows what is to be expected until it's Official release in Frankfurt Music mess show on April 4th.... Are the throngs of Roland followers ready to embrace this new member to the family or will they remain loyal to the older G70 only time will tell. So I would guess the new Bk-9 is the new "Roland TOTL arranger KB" now and doesn't have to cost a fortune to sound really good & have some really nice features onboard.
Can't wait to see the release demos and really get to see what the BK-9 is offering & how it stacks up against other KB's like the KORG & Yamaha, Ketron, etc,...
