I picked it up this afternoon and played it for about 4 hours...... for me a huge disappointment. The demosongs, the Xpiano and the drawbars sound great, but the styles are VERY poor and sounds seem to come from the CANVAS-age. I expected a lot, but now I realize again what a great machine my SD1 is! The G70 leaves tomorrow : Back to the dealer. That's great news for me since I also own a SD1! I never liked roland arranger keyboards anyway. Two days ago I went to a presentation about the new Yamaha O1X mixer and the Motif ES7... and THAT'S A KEYBOARD! That piano sound is amazing!! If only I didn't need using styles... Luis Santos [This message has been edited by Luis.Santos (edited 12-09-2004).]

However, I will reserve final judgment until it is fully out and there are more reviews. If they could just have the 76 key action of the G 70 by its self, that I would get. _________________________ TTG

I spent some time at the Music Live Show UK with the G70 and under those show condition I thought it was very good. I would just pick fault with the sloppy feel of the pots (potentiometers) The Price in UK is �2299.00 This was the price of the VA76. [This message has been edited by Graham UK (edited 12-09-2004).]
