You have to realize also that the G70 has no Sampler/CDRW Drive/Digital I/O, or internal Hard Drive capability.
Many Synth Workstation Keyboards such as the Korg Triton Studio (76 Key) have all of the above and if you look around it can be purchased in some cases for less than $2,500.


Hi Mike,

Don't forget this is an arranger keyboard (although named Music Workstation) so it cannot be compared with, for instance, the Korg Triton. That's why they make the Fantom X.

Instead of a (noisy, expensive and mechanical) harddisk they fitted a SSD memory of 50 MB and a PCMCIA slot. With that you can use any media device like the Sony Memorystick, Compactflash etc. If you ask me harddisks will phase out soon in musical instruments in favour of flash memory, because the capacity doesn't have to be very large and speed and affordability is very important.
