Thanks everyone..........I'll call UPS tomorrow to find out if they lost the G70..

Fran, my friend: It's the 28th in Portugal, but for you, across the atlantic, I'm still on time! Happy birthday -- José.

Happy Birthdy to you!! There'll be a G-man at your door tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Fran, may the G-70 be with you.

Fran,

Let me know what you think, I've had mine for a couple of months and still learning, sometimes very happy and sometimes dissaponted, would really like to see what a true professional can do with this machine.

Fran ... sorry i missed it yesterday... hope it was happy, even without the G70 ...
t.

well......?

Frankie, I don't have a G70 yet, or is one on it's way....I will have to wait to try one..

Whay's your straight up opinion, now that you have spent time with the G70?

Why do you think there are so many negative people?

My guess is the G70 will be a great board, and as always the people that don't want to put effort into learning the unit , for the most part...are the negative people..with a few exceptions..

Well, I'll have to say that when I first got the G70, i was very dissapointed. Then i did the update to 1.10.
Everyday I play it I like it more. I wish they had some more select styles. Also some of the best styles and sounds are hidden. For example we all think the best sounds would be on the first page and the first sounds like the grnd x. instead a couple pages in I'm finding some very nice sounding instruments.

Yes some sounds are bad, they sound like old sound canvas stuff ( probably is ) But every keyboard has their bad sounds.

The styles are not as wow as Tyros or Ketron. But they are very smooth and have a nice feel with a full sound that doesn't seem anoying.

Some styles are bad like the folk waltz, has this repetious bass line that makes me want to kill myself. But it's easy enough to change.

I think with the midi file playback, the great feeling keys, the great vocal section. It's a winner, If they really want it to be a champ I think they need to change or add a couple more styles, a little too much in the bossa novas and more traditional and dance stuff should be added.

Only my opinion
