Squeake it certainly sounds awesome judging by the demo....Will the G70 STYLES play without a problem, conversions etc etc ? & I'm thinking of adding the TC Helicon Harmony M unit for Vocals & VH to it and you could have a superb lightweight 61 key gigging combo rig for sure!!

YUCK!!!!! That's that gawd awful video that replaced the link you posted. Sonic State should take this video down, and someone should smack the demo guy.

*GW8 Style selection may vary from country to country. For details, please contact our Customer Service Team on

I posted that Donny in a earlier response. That's actually a GOOD thing. If styles vary by country that means there's a good possibility there will be a "western version"!

BUt if you could load amy roland styles into it or thumb drive who cares what it comes with just use what you need?

It just might load G-70 styles Donny. The GW-8 will ship with a Software Style Converter. Also with the GW-8 now having its sound engine based on the Sonic Cell and Fantom X along with the 4 intros/endings/variations.., it just may be possible. Here's the info off the Roland site:

Style Converter & Playlist Editor
Bundled with each GW-8 is Roland’s Style Converter software for PC, which lets you create and convert your own MIDI data into GW-8 backing styles and install them via commercially available USB Flash memory devices. Also included is the Playlist Editor for customizing the order of songs. Users can easily create a dedicated Playlist for each gig.

Yeah baby.... the manual

I just thought that being the G70 is Roland formated styles.... they would work in the GW8 seamlessly without conversion?
