Well my needs are fairly modest-I don't intend to get the "baddest" keyboard thats out there-mostly I'm looking at sounds and sequencing.
I don't know what Roland has against sampling but that probably would have jacked up the already nosebleed price on the E-80.Does the G-70 have sampling?If it does it may well prove to be the bargain here.
I also just found out that the E-80 has one Gbit of wave memory as opposed to the E-50 which has 512 Mbit but I'm not gonna rob a bank just to get the 1 Gbit.Besides the E-50 is going to be a big enough step up for me,compared to what I've *been* using...

hi hellboy,
i have played my PA1x live with midi files and have not had any issues with the 62 note poly on the Korg..its voice allocation algorithms are very clever and work very well...i have some midi files that are the full 16 tracks and then i play live keyboard over that...i think if you are using samples that are multi velocity and so require several voices to work properly you ahve some poly issues, but if you are using "one shot" drum samples, it should not be a problem..

Hi Hellboy,
where do you live?
have a friend who's been umming & ahhing about whether or not to sell his. Hobbyist, home use only. Not sure whether he's still thinking about it or not. Nearly bought it last year, but then he changed his mind.

You definately one to see one before you buy.
