have you seen the roland demos of the g70? The demonstrator is Michael Stegner. Watch it and whilst you're wathching ,ask yourself this very serious and pertinant question ...." has this guy ever played and arranger keyboard before doing this video presentation ? "http://www.rolandus.com/Multimedia/Flash/g70/index.html

Watch it and tell me if this guy isn't scared witless and he knows he is going to get rumbled...because he is completely uncomfortable with the instrument.

If Roland have great arranger demonstrators then will one pldease step up to the plate !

You cant even find a demo of the great Ralph Schink who has spent the last year (so i am told ) doing workshops with the G70. Did no one take a video camera ? Did Roland not see it as a great marketing opportunity ? If the G70 was ever all that ....why did not one professional Roland demonstrator show that ? When the T2 came out there were video demos every where and the result ? look at the converts on this forum alone !

FRan has found an old CD of the G1000 with outstanding demos on it played in arranger style. He doesnt have to convince me of the calibre of the instrument with words. The music did it.Where are the G70 CD's,DVD's , anything ? Roland dropped that instrument in terms of marketing almost as soon as it was launched.Even with the OS System upgrades there were and still are serious misgivings with the instrument and this is from the discussions i have picked up from the G70 denmark site. I am not bashing G70 , but i think Roland need to fire their production and marketing managers because there is an obvious problem somewhere. I only hope that the new E80 owners get a little bit more support.

Sorry . Was not meant to be a rant . But you understand the sentiments i hope .

Peace
