Looks like they "real" pics are finally up for the E-50/60. They look much better than the graphic images that were there prior.

Sorry for the typo in the Title. I meant E-50/60

Thanks Squeak. It is looking good man. I would love to love it.
Noticed a few things:
1) The E50 does NOT have a D-beam
2) The E50 does NOT have "Fade IN/OUT"
I was looking at the SPECS and they say "over 1000 Panel Tones" and "more then 130 styles". Can't they count them?
The EXR7 had more and some special voices that the EXR5 did not have. It is hard to know if they have done the same thing with the E50/60, when they are so vague. Although the wave memory is the same.

Interesting point there Starkeeper. I've noticed that (even before they changed their website), Roland has and still is "very" vague on specification lists for products.

When you check out their keyboards for example, there's no "specification list". Just very short, and quite "vague" descriptions. I don't know why, but again Roland's maketing and ad strats are odd at times

Sometimes it drives me nuts. I see something on their site, but my question can only be answered by seeing a broken down "specification sheet", but with Roland you have to go look at their manuals.

Luckily the Roland Keyboard Club website lets you see all this info. If it has to do with their arrangers, this is where I go

In regards to the lack of D-Beam and Fade-in/out on the E-50. Honestly I have say it looks like that decision was made due to the lack of space. Obviously for "cost" they wan't to keep the layout pretty much identical, but when shrinking the board down to 61 keys, there just isn't any room on the panel for the D-Beam and the buttons associated with it

Its insane for roland in this day and age not to include a fade in out on the e50. This is the second time they are doing this since the va5. Its an important feature. Shame on u roland.

i am pretty sure i looked carefully, but didn t see any fade button, neither on e60 or e50.

How can you expect them since the product has not been released yet?
