Low and behold...Roland did not let me down...

I found a parameter that says "lower with intro" I turned it on... and problem solved... manual bass all the way

That's great many more years with the EA7...
Enjoy

That’s great Fran.

So you will be rescinding your ad?

at least until the NEW Roland arranger Kb is announced
at Winter NAMM 2020...

That small dual screen thing stops me, or I might own one already. The minute I buy one they'll come out with a larger single screen version. If they did, I think resale value of the dual will tank.

The double display screen is one of the things
I really liked about the EA7.....great navigational feature..

Oh, to know if Roland is planning anything or not...for real, not just speculation. Somebody must know something........

Agreed. It's a huge step backwards from where the competition is today. Also, the sounds on that EA-7 are not up to the standard of other high end Rolands of the past (and present). Fran likes the EA-7 because of size/weight, and and familiarity to the Roland universe. He'll be so much happier playing his G-70. They are both dinosaurs, and belong together
.

I must say that for some time I had a feeling that Roland isn’t trying at all, but last month in Moscow I discovered that they have their own section in a store. As you can see, they chose Juno DS as a main decoration. I saw there BK-3/5 arrangers but no E-A7. I guess, primarily all hopes are focused on $350–$780 keyboards and digital pianos.
