Well the 1G Wave Rom sounded pretty good until I read it was giga BITS (not Bytes), so its 128 MB wave rom, way behind Tyros 2. Otherwise, looks interesting. Nice to have 2 SRX slots.

More than 49 pounds.

new design/look(even the buttons,speakers) reminds me of what?... -Hmm.PA 1x (not the pro )anyone?


Good for roland.I think g70 fails to sell well.And it's like quick action from roland to maintain as a player (for a hit Keyboard)in pro arranger world.It has been a while when yammies(and some Korgs)are leading in the market(yes pro market).Time for g1x /e 86 days when roland was the obvious choice.

6 fills are good,hopefully it has individual buttons.

possible drawbacks in the market-

E 80 pro version is 61 keys,yet it's 49 lbs.

lighter and mid priced 76 keys e 60 (and 61 keys e50),no VH(if they plan to beat current best seller yam 3k,they should have put a VH-even with basic functions)if they plan to retail around $1200 to $ 1500(extra $200-300 is worth if you are gettin BUILT IN VH for convinience)(though outboard VH gear starts from $ 325).

Of the Yamahas, this is closest to the PSR9000 in niche, weight, and probably price, which I guess will be about $4K retail. It will probably be sold through Roland's Musical Instrument division rather than the Pro division, so discounts will be hard to come by. My guess is that the weight is due to the speakers. The PSR9000 was about 10lbs heavier than the PSR8000 largely due to the use of wood in the upgraded speakers.

Hi

The E-80 price in Denmark is 3900 Euro. The price for the G-70 is 3000 Euro.

Am a bit confused (as usual). I thought the G-70 was Roland's top model or is that place taken by the E-80 now?
The G-70 is 2340 Euro in Taiwan. Not that it matters.
