I recall , I read that the G70 is around 43 pounds....that is 2 and 1/2 pounds heavier than the G1000..

I guess the extra fills and on board styles, and not to forget the Mic/vocalizer...made it a little heavier..

The problem with Roland arrangers now is a lack in middle range area.

There is a top model, G-70.
After G-70, nothing at all, nothing to compite with PA60, PSR2100 or 3000.
Then, at low range, EXR series.

Roland fans waiting a good 5 octaves arranger can't buy a Roland.
Pity

Be patient...Roland will be releasing a 61 key model like the G series...And I betcha there is a table top module on it's way[summer 05]..

Fran, is that information you have on a future 61 key version, or a hope?

So 43 lbs is still a lot heavier than the Tyros 27lbs, but at least a little lighter than the Pa1X's 45lbs (61 key version 48lbs).

I've had one double hernia (and don't want a repeat), so this is a disappointment.

Graham..No confirmation, just source rumors, and past patterns from Roland..

Years being patient from 1999. And a lot of people going to Yamahas...

Rolands marketing has been very predictable in the past. I am confident they are continuing this tradition and come out with a 61key model with speakers in the spring.
A while back there was a discusion on here about an expected new pro board from roland, and here it is. Almost as described in the previous tread

I'm still anxiously awaiting GrahamUK's report from the keyboard festival......
