Just so you all know I was there today to see the Bk5 and saw that demo live much better live then in that video , i thought it was empressive for the price it has a new piano 2 section the tracks your playing just like you would be playing a piano and arranger funchions and tracks right along even complex chords this is very good , sounds pretty good it sounded a little thin opn some patches I spent about a hour with the keyboard the keys are not full sized but much larger then mini over all it was pretty cool not I have to have one kool but I could see using it I felt as a playable keyboard much better then mini , the screen display small no touch screen at all , I was still stinging from the 35.00 parking fee I had to pay crazy I have never seen so many people at a Namm before , I think Roland has a good un it for the Price my ears say the sounds on the mini and the Bk5 seem to be thined out a bit not the thickness I am used to hearing seem to be a trend , not new sounds in the Bk5 that arnt in the bk7 mod it does track a padel board very well pk-6 unit for the price I feel much better then the mini it feel more like a keyboard and not a toy read up on piano 2 func it is pretty cool.

Hello People Just Curious, a few questions: 1. Does the BK-7m sounds better (sounds and styles) than the GW-8 and Prelude? 2. As far as I know, in BK-7m you canīt create/edit styles, or Am I wrong? 3. Can BK-7m read G-70 Styles? 4. Do anybody knows which is max measure length in styles (BK-5, GW-8 or G-70)?
Thanks for the information!! Best Regards Jo 1. Haven't played a Prelude or GW 8. 2. You can only changes sounds, volumes etc. However there is a built-in easy process to completely change the genre of a style, on the fly if wanted. In other words, say you have a Big Band style called up. You can change it totally, or selected parts, to a Pop, Rock, Vocal, Rap, etc. instantly by using the Cover function. 3. BK can read all Roland styles, including G70. 4. Don't remember, but styles can be really long. I think I remember seeing 32 measures. BTW, number of style measures are displayed as the Style plays, and number of remaining measures are displayed as intros and endings play. DonM
