sk880user,
I think that's why we have diffrent opinion on the GEM WK8.I also wanne say something that I liked, that GEM did it manly and I hope Roland would be reading it or I would have help from George kay or any one else to make sure the information goes to Roland.first of all to upgrade the GEM WK8 to oriental they use only disks and you will find every oriental sound in ther .I mean they made the oriental sounds and drums on disks so that the oriental custmer can choose any keyboard he likes(from gem only) and then he adds on them the oriental stuff,instead to be forced to buy only the oriental keyboard which is always weak and also we will be un able to buy any thing because we want the sounds but new keyboard and we every 5 years are forced to wait for a new oriental keyboard. I am not talking about expantion boards because I know Roland will not make an arranger keyboard with an expantion boards and if they did then I am asking them to upgrade your world expantion board and add the new things you did on the E-500OR and the EM-50OR.but if you are not planing to do an arranger keyboard with expantion boards forever then make the oriental sounds and drums on all of the arabic keyboards are on disk so that we can buy something big and can add those sounds just like GEM did to ther keybaords.

thanx for any help any one will do.
