lots of kool features...Piano mode button, Auto Fill,
Chord Inversion, FULL Mixer, etc..

Looks nice a lots of features from what he describes. Wonder if it has enough Styles to satisfy the American market ? And how does it compare to the EA7 ? A replacement ?
Looks like Roland is going after the market who uses Arranger the most, smart move.

Thanks for the update.

Bill, it looks like the first 190 style slots would work for western markets.

They will sell thousands of these for sure at that price..
good move by Roland

I’m actually looking for battery powered KB for low key out door events. Maybe this would be a good choice?

Did I see 256 voice polyphony or was it something else ?
If it is indeed 256 voice polyphony then it’s possibly a new sound engine/generator that Roland could be coming up for medium or high end keyboards as well with this polyphony?
We wait and watch 😊

Entry-level stuff. I'm not sure that it's better than the E-A7 in any respect (except being lighter and smaller.) At least it demonstrates hope that Roland hasn't abandoned the arranger market altogether.

To me it looks suspiciously close to Medeli's products (well, we've heard the rumour that even Genos is made by Medeli).

Some people say, that if there's a specific demand from dealers for an entry-level keyboard and the company doesn't produce one, the company uses a suitable product of other manufacturer which in his turn puts a required name on it.

The problem is that now both Kurzweil and Roland went this way and it doesn't look good to me:
