Thank you very much Godfrey !
The pics are great

Great!
Thanks g,mon

This seriously looks like my next keyboard. Can't wait.

Does anyone know what the price will be for this board? I keep reading all those specs and can't help but see the dollar signs racking up

Squeak

For non-metric people that's about 44 lbs. Now we just need the price.

It does look nice and despite my usual avoidance of Roland products I'll be taking a look at it.

I like this marketing line: "Many of these styles have been recorded using live studio musicians to create top-quality professional backings"... well, what arranger keyboard doesn't?

Ouch!! but I wouldnt rule it out for a studio piece only, cant wait till Fran gets one so I could play it hehehehe !

PS. and what is the button called "DJ Gear" for?

[This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 11-12-2004).]

DJ gear is under the D Beam controller button. This allows your hand to move over the D Beam and produce sounds associated with DJ music. An Example of this would be a "scratch" sound. You can get the same effect using your hand as a DJ turning a record with a needle scratching the surface. You will also notice there is a button for sound effecs, instrument sounds and controller functions.

"Music Assistant
about 500 presets, programmable"

This feature appears to be very interesting. I wonder HOW programmable it will be.
The weight of some 44 pounds will probably exclude it from consideration anyway, but it does seem to have many great features.
