Originally posted by Diki: The Roland's (at least, the E and G-series) always have a front panel button for this function (and an FC-7 and Footswitch choice for E80/G70). For those of us that play in Pianostyle Mode, this is one of the more important buttons to have easy access to, yet alone it's general use.
The G70, BTW, has front panel buttons for transpose... no sub-menus there. Yeah, I knew the Rolands had a dedicated Bass Inversion button...I don't mind the Yamaha's setup too badly, you can get used to it pretty easily, but it would be better with a dedicated button...there is also a pedal option on the Yammies as well....that's quite handy. The Roland Piano Mode is cool...don't quite have it as well implemented on the Yamaha...at least not yet...maybe they'll come up with their own eventually. Only being able to access Transpose via a menu would be a more serious issue with me...thankfully you've got dedicated buttons on your G70...makes doing those cool transpositions on turnarounds a lot of fun...transposing up/down a 4th or 5th is a real hoot too. I figured the E-60/50 didn't have dedicated transpose buttons....just wasn't quite sure about the G70. Now, I wonder if the Korg PA-500 has them....that looks like a cool little 'board. Ian

Diki,
Does the Roland G70 and E-series transpose work like the Yamaha...it waits till you come back down on the keys before it transposes?
I'm guessing it would.
Having the keys represented in the display and being able to hit the one you want to go to is neat for those big trans-positional jumps...with the buttons you HAVE to be fast and accurate.
I usually store jumps like that in a Reg memory...it works okay.
Too bad the E-50/60 don't have dedicated trans buttons as well...bit of an oversight.
I really liked the E80, even though I only had a brief time with it, but I think my next major purchase will be either the Nord C1 or an 88 note reasonably lightweight piano with hammer action...or both, once I get back to work full time and get off this damn disability stipend.
I'm using a CP-300(on my sample account) for now...lovely instrument, but VERY heavy.
Looks like I'm going to have to wait for a lightweight piano (20-30 lbs)...I didn't much like the CP-33.
