I hope that was just the prelude to the Prelude videos...I really wanted to hear more...like the various voices, etc.

Yeah.., this video was pretty poor, but I'm not holding my breath here for RolandUS to post another video. Hell they never went beyond audio demos for the E-50/60 yet they gave more attention to promoting the E-09 on the US site. RolandUS just sucks it big time when it comes to promotional material for arrangers.

AMEN...

prelude does not sound bad at all...
i like what i hear.

Did Roland at least add the Lyric Reader on the Prelude?.....because the Gw8 doesn't have it.

Don't hold your breath Donny.... So far this appears to be a GW-8 with speakers, minus patch modify. I'd be surprised if they added that feature to this model.

So sad...a company with so much potential, but they just don't get it when it comes to promoting and selling.

Nope, George K said it's exactly the same as the GW8 plus speakers. If it had lyrics I'd be ordering one.

I wonder how many mp3s it can hold at one time.

I dont see the advantage of this model over the GW-8 really. It's $150 more.., and stripped of some features. You could buy the GW-8 (get the patch modify back) then take that $150 and spend it on something else. I would go as far as saying that many who buy this thing for $1,000 probably won't even know the GW-8 (better built more pro version for less) even exists.
