Hi Folks

I've just posted something I've found about a keyboard/organ brand
(that I've never hear about) at GenArrForum.
Thought it maybe would be for any interest here too since there are
no more Technics to come........

Bohm made Wersi "look-alike" organs in the classic days of organs with that distinctive "wersi-type" sound, but I have not heard from them for a long time. However you would be surprised how many small "made to measure" organ manufacturers there are in Germany, they seem to be tucked away in every corner of the Frankfurt show so I gain the impression that the art is thriving over there. However this new keyboard looks like a different direction. I wonder who's technology is inside?

The first who striked my mind was in fact Wersi when I saw this
serie from Böhm, some similarities, but I don't think it is any
Windows OS running on this one?
It was not possible for me to download the leaflet and demos due
to when try to register, it asked for phone and adress in USA...
Maybe better luck on a German site.
Yes, Germany are a "organ country", guess Klaus Wonderlich was
one of those who builded up the popularity.

Well, another thing to add to the list to look for when you go to
Frankfurth Alec. Don't forget to peek inside the Silverbird to
see if you happen to find something familiar from other keyboards
you've been analyzed so well.

Btw, I was going to visit a Roland G70 demo by Ralp Schinc this
afternoon, but I have no chance to reach it in time, #@%&#*

Give the G70 a miss Gunnar it is rubbish

Johnnie,

I had some interest in the G70, which is not available in my area of the U.S., or on the U.S.Roland website. I was looking forward to TechPlus review.

I would be interested in hearing your comments.

Have you heard or seen it "live" in UK yet Johnnie? The mp3 demos
don't sound too bad, in fact I think they are not as "Rolandish"
as usual, more realistic and not as much "pling & plang" in most
of the styles as before. Also the "Hammond" and drums sounds good
in my ears.

I'll probably have to drive into town one of these days just to see,
feel and listen, but not before this withe cold slippering stuff
at the roads here are gone....

Oh well, besides of it still tempt me to add a SD1+, the KN5000
do all, and even a lot more than my knowledge and playing skills
ever manage to take advantage of, but then again, it is nice to
explore something new.

Yes I have played and heard the G70 more than once. Perhaps my rubbish label is a little strong and maybe not fair, but I was not very impressed with it mainly the styles.
I feel that Roland missed a golden opportunity with this latest model to get it right but unfortunately the boredem factor I feel will be short. To be honest the little Yamaha PSR3000 @ £950 for what it was impressed me more.
Of course this has to be purely personnel taste, I know the G70 has nine draw bars etc
but @ £2300 I'm afraid the jury is still out.

had one a while, again more stage/pro orientated than ease of use home keyboard. Samples not particularly stand out compared to the VAs which I did not rate at all, but styles significantly more pedestrian then the superior PA1 in that particular area.

Looks like the G70 did not impress Alec and Johnnie much,
so there is maybe no rush for the snow to go away for other
reasons than "no shovelling cold white thing".


Happy playing.

Hi to everybody.

We use no technology from oter brands. We have our own Sound Samples. Our products are more reliable as Wersi. Do you know that the Wersi OAS needs up to 15 min. to bootup and reboot. I heared from a Wersi Dealer that the Organs have a lot of problems with the CPU (Overheating). I was working over 25 years at Wersi in Germany and i know very well any Wersi instrument. I choose Böhm, because they are more reliable and sounding better. Personally comment: Technics was not bad, but they get past because their old PCM-technology. And at least. We,Bohm don't use Yamaha sound boars in our organs like Wersi.
