Well, you're absolutely right but it's a shame that instead of talking about The G-70 this post as moved to a less interisting issue: the origin of the pic I got from the instrument and wherethere are "leaks" or not. Its enough to begin a new post.
Maybe the information I got is wrong but I still believe it will be a touch screen. Roland released the VAs, one of their firsts touch screen keyboards, and the next synth workstation like the first Fantom (FA-76)had a normal display. So, no reason why this can´t happen again - in color.

I just did a search with google for the G-70 and found that, here in the Netherlands, the suggested retail price is 3469 EURO (including VAT).

Now I wonder what I would have to pay when I tradein my G-1000...

At last a new arranger keyboard from Roland. I´m really looking forward to get my new instrument. I´ve had a G-1000 for 6 years now, so it´s gonna be great to hear some new tones comming out of my speakers

We are now into Page 3 of this G70 discussion....At the very least its a lot more interesting than talking Yamaha all the time.
We are attending our twice yearly Keyboard Festival next Friday 1st October till 8th. Seven glorious days of keyboard bashing. Just hope a sample G70 is there !!!!

Take Pictures

Amen - I've hit the snooze button on my Yamaha alarm. Looking forward to your annual report Graham (in a seperate thread, please!).

This G70 looks very nice.... as well the specs!
I could visit a demonstration in a few (6) weeks at "Music All In".....

Well, I think the G70 announcement fits in really well, timing wise, enough said.

This G-70 looks more like V-synth, Discover-5, Fantom...also looks kinda... old.
Roland finaly normalized their apearance.

My persoanl opinion(and my music friends')I don`t care what other new Arrangers Roland scatches I`ll never buy Roland Again I had enough of it on VA-76, the sequencer Working thing, Zip disk even more crazier problems on G-1000... but it`s just my opinion

Roland makes great other stuff besides Arrangers.

Vadim, I could not duplicate the problems you and your friend had with Roland sequencers..Both my VA and G1000 work fine..matter of fact they are my preferred way to sequence...

Maybe it is something you guys are doing wrong..
