I seem to remember the old A70 controller keyboard had the same action, other than that - just the G-1000/VA-76.

A great pity - I think it's the best plastic action in the world (I have a G-1000)............ I play for sometimes up to 10 hours a day professionally and the keyboard remains comfortable and responsive. It has the right shape for piano playing, and round enough ends for B3 smears without catching your palms.

As for the G-70's controller capabilities, well, the G1000 is very good - each user registration (performance preset in Roland-speak) basically memorizes the entire state of the keyboard including song and arranger links and all program changes, volume pan and effect settings, keyboard sensitivity in each zone etc., etc. - basically one button and go! So a big thumbs up.

Just one problem - with CK division dealers trying to ratchet up the price to $4500 or so, I don't see it becoming popular enough over here for a lot of new style development and bugfixes past the initial few (the G1000 had few updates and probably will outsell the G-70)

Roland - the word is out....... we know what MSRP and MAP are for this unit. You MUST reign in the greed of your CK division dealers or lose this sector to Korg and Yamaha.
