Congratulations on the G70 Fran. Is it G70 and Mediastation now, or do you still have some other goodies?

BTW, Montana.... If ALL your UPGs are skewed one way or another (and you can hardly blame the G70 for THAT, sounds like a monitoring issue) between Keyboard and Style Parts, there is a simple Balance knob, that can skew things back the way you want without having to adjust the UPG's...

And, you probably already know this, but just in case.... It REALLY helps to tape yourself under gig conditions (same PA, volume levels etc.) to get an objective idea of the balance you need between 'live' Parts and backing. Most of us make the mistake of making our 'played' Parts too loud, so we can hear ourselves well, but when played back, often shows us 'swamping' the backing.

Oh, and don't forget to include your voice, if you sing at the gig. That can often change the perception of a mix...

Craig, pretty much..The G70, Media Station and the G1000..

I sold the DisCover5, since the G70 replaces that ok, and possibly the G1000 may be next..I am not really sure..It is up on Ebay now ..If I get a quick buyer..I will let it go..But if I think about it too long..I may pull it off Ebay..

Fran, I only tried the G 70 once, about a year and a half ago down at Washington Music. I remember being very impressed with it, it is, after all, a Roland, and they're hard to beat. I would have bought one except for 2 reasons. The weight issue has become a big thing for me since I do over 300 gigs per year, sometimes 3 a day. And I got a really good price on a Tyros 1. When I bought the T1, I was just going to fool around with it and maybe use it in the studio. But after a week or so, I really loved it on the road and I've been using it close to a year now. But like I've said before, I still wouldn't part with my G 1000. To this day nothing has the brilliance of that board. Good luck with your final decision.

Joe
