Very nice demos. I didn't like the brass in the 1st demo, but everything else sounded 1st rate.

The drums sounded nice!

Tyros 2, Yamaha P-250, Korg Triton Extreme 76, Roland VK8-M, DW Collectors Series Drums

They sound very nice, but still my problem with these KB is the fact that they have only 120 styles. My 1989 psr 2500 has 100. That meens only 2-3 styles the most for each genre. hmmm

If the demos sounded good, Ian, why worry too much about the polyphony? It obviously was adequate enough for the demos..........

The cover function (which basically completely re-voices a style in one of several sound-sets - imagine a pop style completely changed to jazz sounds and kits with one button, or rock to techno, etc.) can dramatically increase the apparent number of onboard styles, plus 16MB onboard storage AND a PCMCIA slot, and compatibility with previous generation Roland styles (AND the easiest editing of styles of ANY arranger) should make that a moot point, KeybG............

A greater problem I see is Roland rarely ever tell you if you are listening to a 'tweaked' SMF of a Style or live play or a totally sequenced SMF........... To my ears (I have a G70) these sound like 'tweaked' or edited recordings of style play with the solo added later - I could be wrong, YMMV, Objects in Mirror may be closer than they appear.........

But......... still pretty good, eh??

these demos were posted before in this forum, right? i thought roland would post more demos. it will take another two-three months until we'll see this instruments available.

well, we'll see...

Korg's flagship arranger PA1X has 62-notes polyphony and nobody seems to worry too much about it.
Why should Roland worry if they have 64-notes in a cheaper line of arrangers?
