To tell you the truth, I haven't heard any demos from the G-70 that impress me (other) than the ones on the Roland website (both video and audio).

It's not saying that the G-70 isn't a good arranger. It sounds amazing, but I think users aren't doing it justice with their demos.

This latest demo (final countdown) doesn't impress me one bit. It's a song from the 1980's. Big whoop, any keyboard today can do an 80's song. Casio probably takes the charts on that one The thing is the 80's have already been done. How do you justify a great sounding keyboard by producing a demo from the 80's??????

I think the demos need to showcase the power in the G-70's acoustic voices and drum kits. Show the live flavor that board has.

Sorry if I pissed anyone off, it's just I haven't been impressed with demos outside of the Roland site.

I can only speak for myself, but your opinion certainly do not set me on fire It is obvious to me that you judge the demos by other crtierias that I (and probably many other) do. Doing an imitation of something from the 80's isn't obviously impressing you... well, that's fine. But to me, these demos aren't just about showing "the power in the G-70's acoustic voices and drum kits" like you ask to. I like to hear demos covering all genres - hereby demoing the diversity of the instrument. Chill out, my friend. Now we have heard an interpretation of a 80's smash hit - let's not belittle that initiative!... maybe next time Niels will record a song showing us the acoustic sound, which is so great on the G-70... then you might be happy, while others would have wanted to hear a techno demo...
