Thanks for the information regarding controllers. Sounds like a good solution.

I wasnt happy with teh GW8 styles at all....I hope this module is much better then that?

It has about four times as many styles as E50, plus it will play all the G70, E80 and older styles.

Don the Roland demo soiunds decent my fingers are crosses for only a grand this could be a lightweight gig rig dream come true with a controller......?

There are no UPG:s in the BK-7m and there are no buttons for it. There i only one button called performance list.
That seems to be a list of single registrations. Guess a song can be saved with several single registrations but there is no button to step to next one. So the question is how to do that. Using the dial would not be very good.

Probably best to save each song as its own performance list. Then there would be 999 registrations available for each song.

Found it in the manual. The foot switch can be used to step to next performance memory.

Ordered a BK-7m today from dealer in UK. His stock will arrive

end of March. We were having a chat about the BK and he said he

heard great reports about it from his brother who demos for

Korg, he also said that it is basically the module version of

a G90 keyboard which never went into production, did anyone

hear this.

With as few Parts as the BK has compared to Roland's TOTL arrangers (3 UPR, 2 LWR on G70, 2 UPR, 1 LWR on the BK), with no VH, without a touch screen and easy editing because of it (those little displays make the Makeup and Cover Tools a harder job), without individual outputs, without footpedal AND two footswitch inputs plus the FC-7 (only one footswitch/pedal and an FC-7 on the BK), without the Guitar Mode, no, sadly, this isn't the replacement module for the G70.

Mind you, it makes a VERY capable replacement for the E50/60.

To my mind, this, in a case with a 61/76 with speakers is the new E MOTL series. Maybe a Prelude II...

So, suppose you want to add this to a Tyros 2. How would that be accomplished AND most importantly would there be a way to quickly change from an onboard Tyros style on one song and the next song use a Roland module style?

What about having a quick set up to use the module style and Tyros 2 voices on some and sometimes use both the Roland styles and voices. Not to mention using a Yamaha style with Roland voices.

Unless this would be relatively easy and be able to quickly switch I don't think this would be a great set-up??

One thing I do know I would never again try to do something like I did with a Technics KN2600 and Tyros. I wanted to get the Technics styles to play Yamaha voices.hahahaha What a screwed up process and results that turned out to be.

If only the KN2600 would have sounded as good to me as the PSR2000 I would have been happy. As it was that kb was not to my liking at all. I was even able to buy it at the closeout wholesale price from Technics and even then it wasn't worth it to me. Each to there own, no put down intended.

overpriced, for what it really is. At the price, without a keyboard, I'd expect a nice big screen and a good sequencer built in. In other words....a workstation, not just a sound module with styles
