I walked into my local music shop tonight and saw a GW-7... tried it ... bought it!

It will suppliment my PSR3000 which still reigns supreme as an arranger for me, the GW-7's arranger section cannot compete with the PSR3000 although there are some nice styles to play with on the GW-7.

What did impress me were a lot of the stock sounds, some of them are are very expressive, especially the saxes which seem to have some velocity switching in them, the piano's are very good too along with a few nice Rhodes'ish electric pianos, nearly all the instrument banks have some exceptional sounds in them and at such a low price, its also very light and looks quite appealing in grey and black.

Basically, I've bought this to replace my aging Yamaha S03 Synth which sits above my PSR3000 when I perform, the S03 just cannot produce the quality of expresive instrument timbres avaialable on the GW-7.

Will try and post a few samples of what I think is worthy of merit in the sound department.
