The Korg is a very professional level board, the sounds are great. the Vocalizer is top notch. the interface takes a little to get but once you do it's great with allot of room to grow. What I feel is lacking is a majority of the styles seem to be somewhat empty, I find myself adding strings or a pad to try to fill it up. and the drums are great but I feel they are not used to their potentional.
Midi file playback is good but you need to adjust most of the files to get it to sound good.

The Roland takes a different route. more buly than the Korg. But the vocalizer may not be as pro as the Korg but the on board controls are instant with dial and dedicated buttons which make adjustments very easy. I feel Midi file handling Roland is the top. Styles are bad to great with the meat of them being in the middle road. As an instrument for a one man band thing, I like them both but I think the Roland has the edge. As for a one man band/ studio / full band/ I would go with the Korg



Thanks for the comparison. How do the organ sounds compare? I rely on them alot and use the Roland VK8M as a benchmark. I've read and heard that the G70 includes the VK8 organ module but not sure. I do not use a leslie - too much to move around - so the leslie simulation is important as well.
