Zuki,
A minority? Roflol. No way! Try being the owner of a Lionstracs Mediastation, lol. Or of a Wersi.

I think these 2 groups have the term minority completely taken.

But it is true that Roland has gotten alot of attention on sz lately.

I have been wanting to acquire a keyboard from one of the big companies to use for comparitave work with my Mediastation. You know really test out the arranger features on a side by side comparison, and try their styles on the Mediastation.

I considered using either the Korg Pa1xPro or Roland G70 for this purpose, as I had been interested in these 2 before I ever acquired my MS. I decided on the G70 when Hank had his for sale about 2 months ago.
Hank was great to deal with and Don Mason was very helpful also. So I now have Hank's old G70.

Still haven't had time to get into it fully, but I hope to soon. I do like the Organ Mode on the G70, but its no B4 like on my MS and the pianos don't even come close, but I wouldn't expect any other arranger's piano to either. I guess I'm spoiled with the Giga sounds.

The Guitar mode on the G70 is interesting, similar to one of the MS's giga guitar sample with "key switching".

Maybe I'll have time for more testing over the next month.

SZ has been a Yamaha forum for quite a while so don't expect any sympathy from those of us in the true "minority". LOL

I'm glad we have a lot of diversity here that's what makes this forum great.
