Friends,

I am reading these comments with great interest. I am too a wannabe musician and do have some well-paying and very public gigs, but my bills are paid mainly by my day job. My time to play an instrument is very limited, and I am not looking forward to having to spend hours reprogramming the instrument presets before it starts to sound acceptable.

While I did not doubt Roel's lack of satisfaction with the G70, one would expect that in this highly subjective matter reasonable people may disagree. However, now there appears to be a choir of people all reverberating the same opinion. This makes me quite concerned about whether this will be a keyboard for me. I am still planning to evaluate it with my own ears and fingers; however, I will not risk buying one unless the store allows a long-enough return.

I think it is unacceptable of Roland to try to sell a half-baked instrument, covering their arse with the statement that this is a workstation meant to be customized.

Let's hope that Roland is reading these messages and the software upgrade is in the works to fix the issues with the initial configuration and ability to change global settings for the instrument.

Regards,
Alex
