Specifically, the G70 styles have these ghost instruments that make up the style. I say ghost because they are nondescript for the most part unless you add L1,2,3 voices. And they're not all that loud. There doesn't seem to be any knock out rock beats - good, maybe but nothing that can stand up to a midi file. If I play slow-med solo it's not that bad, actually good. But try to use a style with a guitarist, sax and keys and I THINK it falls flat. We practiced 'Old Man Down the Road' with a 70s beat using just drums and bass and I thought it would work fine. On the job it sucked big time (to my ears) and I shut the song down early.

What do I want? I want a XK3, SR16 and PC88 in one keyboard. I can live without the rhythms, but need the drums. The G70 is probably the closest to what I want from what I've seen. I've never seen a Korg Pa1x or PA800, which might have better rhythms - hence the original post.

Have I tried making my own? NO. I can't even find some of the edit screens yet. I'd like to save a default registration too, but I'm not that far into the learning curve yet - I've only read the manual 3-4 times.

Thank goodness I owned a DC5. I think it was a fantastic keyboard. It gave me many of the features of the G70 at a much more affordable price. And now I read about a Roland E600? What is that? It sounds like a DC5 with full arranger functions.

After all this B----ing, I must say I do like my G70. It's not going up for sale anytime soon. I'll learn how to handle it as I should and it will end up being one of my all-time favorite boards. If not, where's the nearest Hammond dealer?
