The Prelude sounds amazing.., and with the latest software update the price is more attractive too. Can anyone here elaborate more on what "tone edit" parameters were added to the Prelude? If it edits tones now..., is there a user section for edits?

I don't know what Ralph and his friend were up to for the vid.., but Ralph is a good player. He did a nice vid for the E-09 on the Roland site.

Squeak,
Tone edit was available with the original OS.which are,
Level
Pan
Decay time
Release time
cutoff
vibro rate
Vibro depth
Mono,Polly
Portamento time
Pitch bend range
and various control can be assigned to pedal.
You need to see the handbook re MFX control which are quite considerale.

Hi adults,
don't be seriously worried about. This presentation is made for kids. That's the way they are talking together, nowadays.

What...??? The Prelude had the ability to edit tones with the original OS..??? Interesting.., all this time many of us here (including myself) thought that tone editing wasn't a feature on the Prelude. It wasn't mentioned in any of specifications or features that the Prelude had the ability to edit the tones.

I wonder why Roland chose not to list that feature.

Nice keyboard room....do I have to go to Germany to find them all in one store?....around here forget it! Stores like Frankeve's east coast & George west coast K's....are a godsend for the arranger player who wants to play, compare under one roof.

Production is terrible, but most production of Utube promotional pieces, even by some of the big guys, is pretty low quality.

Keyboard looks interesting.

Well hot damn! Well folks that what many of us get for assuming things (me included)...

Page 38 of the Prelude Manual is about "Editing a tone/Editing a tone in detail".

I can't understand why Roland didn't post that about the Prelude. That's a big feature IMO when looking at the budget line.

Is there a lyric reader and vocal mic input with efx? even as a backup unit thats a deal killer for me.

Dng,
Lyric reader Yes, unfortunately you would have to find a work round for the mic input and controls,for anyone interested mine cost Euro 790

Has any Yamaha at the $900/1000 price point got a mic input and FX and harmonizer?

S910 is almost DOUBLE the price of the GW-8 or Prelude. You ought to expect things like that for that much more money... You don't get them with the similar priced S710, do you?

It will be interesting to see whether Roland extend the arranger range into MOTL territory, and what features they add at close to the S900/910 price point...
