One of the worst keyboard demos I have ever seen. What is the point of investing hundreds of thousands into a product only to crucify it with an atrocious demonstration by an obviously inept talentless demonstrator ? Would it kill roland to find even one capable arranger player to demo the product properly ?

To be fair, he isn't demonstrating the BK-3. He is demonstrating the integration of the iPad apps with the arranger...

Hi Spalding

The fact that there is an iPad (Tablet) involved means you won’t see a geek for miles.

The younger generation (Where 99% are not geeks) will love it as it is the norm these days, along with smart phones.

The BK3 is also cheap and disposable which is also what the younger generation want.

You need to get “With it” to understand it, or it will just pass you by. (Put yourself in the shoes of a teenager and you will love it)

You have got to be joking bill right ? Do you think that by throwing an ipad into a poor demonstration will make young guys want to buy a badly demonstrated product , I tell you what ,let's see if your rational might apply to say the sale of say toasters. They are cheap and relatively disposable right ? The kids will love it ha ha !

In All seriousness. That's demonstration shows to me that Roland clearly do not know Who their customers are or what product they are actually selling. They are selling a musical instrument, that musical instrument needs to be demonstrated as a musical instrument. The fact that it can be connected to an iPad is of no advantage if it doesn't show that the musical instrument is enhanced by the addition of an iPad . The iPad cannot be used as a crutch to support a poorly demonstrated product. To sell your product, you need to Show that product making great music. It's a fundamental principle of any music product . I wish them well.
