Hi Dennis. This is different.Much much different.Actually demo the G70 yourself. I played the Va series when they first came out and the keyboard was ok , did not blow my socks off but thast just down to taste. But the G70 when it was first released sounded awful. I have yet to hear it sound even half way decent. We are not even talking Va series quality here. I have no idea what Roland were doing releaseing the keyboard sounding like that and then trying to save face by relasesing so called "upgrades of operating systems" supposedly dealing with the sound problems that almost everyone was complaining about . The sales and marketing manager at Roland really ought to be hung drawn and quartered(old English Torture ) as this marketing fiasco has undoubtedly killed off most of Rolands initial sales and certainly has created a feeling of mistrust towards Roland.
Big Big Big mistake.....
