Hi everyone,
I am also a happy VA-7 owner. It is true that there weren't not much chats going onfor such a fantastic keyboard.
The midi playback is excellent, the grand piano and electric piano are one of my favorite sounds for the board as well as the sax. The pop styles that I'm mainly using are really great and very creative.
but one of the thing that made Roland unique is the D-Beam controller which is both fun and practical to use.
I'm sure you'll have lots of good times with a Va-7 despite so many other great arrangers out there.
Claude
