Thanks everyone. Diki, I bought the g70 sight and sound unseen and unheard. I trust recommendations by people like yourself. I also trust Roland to make a TOTL board.

The only manual I have is on the CD that came with it. I think it has version 2 on it. It may also have the version 3 update.

Every keyboard falls short of our needs and expectations. It is just which short falls are least annonying to each of us.

I do believe that the g70 is a great board. The vocal harmonizer alone makes it almost worth it. I have not givin up on it. That's why I've waited so long to ask questions.

I'll take all of your suggestions and try to put them to good use except one. I've stated I want a 4/4 ballad and people keep suggesting I use a 6/8. I don't want a 6/8, get it?

One last question, if there are converted styles from other boards where can they be found. Please answer this privately by email. How about the style cd on Ebay? Has anyone used it?

Thanks everyone,

Tom
