When I first played the G70 back in November of last year, I told Roland they needed a larger library of new and exciting styles. At the NAMM show this past January, I told the Italian design team the exact same thing. I told them that the sounds were great (with less effects) and the styles can be great (using very good programmers) and that they needed these FAST! if they want the G70 to succeed.
In a conversation last month they told me that they would be creating additional styles which would be available at no charge to the G70 customers. Roland has done 4 styles so far and posted them on the roland keyboard club website. I only hope they do a lot more and soon!
And my friend at Roland in Italy, please include some great Persian and Arabic styles for your middle eastern customers around the world! This is very much needed to make these musicians want to play your keyboards. The styles created in the older Roland oriental keyboards have been around a long time now and they are not up to par with styles coming out from Korg and Generalmusic.
