Thanks for the information
It would be so great if we can load the sounds into the world section as well as the styles. Meanwhile for those who have been talking about GW8 VS GW7 I should say that GW8 has 250 Mb of voice memory but GW7 has only 32. So the sound must be much better than before.
Thanks

I just inquired at Sweetwater and they said they will start shipping GW-8s the first week of November. I'm going to try and find one at a local shop but I'm not very optimistic so I may end up going the internet route. Very excited!

Just an observation but Sweetwater says they have shipping delays on the GW 8. Is this standard,or is the GW 8 potentially something special,thus causing delays?

The original shipping date for the GW-8 was supposed to be in September, then was pushed back to the end of October. Sweetwater is usually pretty conservative with its "in stock" time frames (thankfully so).

Word of advice.... DON'T EVER RELY ON THE SHIPPING DATE YOU FIND ON THESE ONLINE RETAILERS..... Many of them use a VERY dirty trick to get PRE-ORDERS.. They set so called "estimated release dates" to rake in as many pre-orders as they can, but funny thing is you'll always notice the date gets pushed back, then pushed back again. When the Roland Juno-G was first released.., it took MONTHS for it to actually hit the US online retailers (based on their constant changing of estimated shipping dates). What they do is try to sell the ENTIRE first shippment they get..., which is why you always see the bold print (often in red letters) HURRY GET YOUR ORDER IN TODAY TO GET YOURS..., Then if you're the person who's order is just ONE over the retailers initial order..., guess what.., you're now on BACK-ORDER.., which then could take several weaks.
