I’m starting to wonder about myself. If I had the choice between looking at a color picture of a Roland G-70 or Sarah Palin’s legs, I’d take the G-70!

Can anyone tell me how to post a scanned photo into a posting here? I found the perfect solution for the ultimate arranger experience!

Sorry, Donny, but the GW-7 and -8 are TOTALLY different beasts. Whatever you THINK you know about the GW's is wrong unless you have tried a GW-8. It is like the difference between a PSR3k and a T3. Honestly...

Sounds are immensely better, polyphony, effects, OS, just about everything.

It is NOT a toy, way less than some of the low-end Yamaha's. Sonically, it comes close to my G70, better in some areas (basses, especially), and has a very high potential.

If they made this with the Juno Stage's 76, I don't think I would hesitate for an instant...

BTW, my idea of a 'toy' and other's may differ... My current 'toy' is a KX-5 and an MGS-64. Seriously expressive, compact and cool. I just use the term for anything other than the main battleship...

Diki...

Thats good to know, I was hoping there would be a big improvement with teh Gw8 & I'm glad it was YOU that had the opportunity to review first as I respect your opinions... as I will be demoing the Gw8/T3 & Audya in the coming months for no other reason then to satisfy myself & Frans curiosity

Well, that just about covers all the price ranges, there...

For your kind of act, the GW-8 might do it pretty well, using SMF's and MP3's and the like. The arranger section is not bad, but the lack of 'tweakability' might be a problem as I know you like to customize quite a bit.
On the whole though, I don't see it as a viable alternative to the E60 - 61 notes, no Makeup Tools, much simpler navigation and control...

Why don't you just settle down for a while?

Diki.....WHERE is your review of the GW-8? I went to play one today. Spent 3 hours on it.

Donnie....where did you locate an E-60 to buy?

And where is YOURS, Lucky?

I'd love to read your opinions, see where we agree, where we differ...
