He said that you can NOT set up a "patch" with the dance style and the instrumentation that you want to go with it. That you have to do all your changes one at time when you're on stage.
I didn't buy this "step backwards in arranger technology" so I asked him again and he repeated exactly that....again!
This seems a bit odd to me. Anyone know any different about this?
BTW...he also said the G-70 IS still in production.

From the GW-8 manual...
By selecting a preset Performance, you can quickly recall settings that are appropriate for the song youre playing.
When you select a preset performance, settings for the
following items will be recalled.
Keyboard mode
Upper Tone/Lower Tone settings
Style settings
Song settings
Effects settings
Transpose
Octave shift
D Beam settings
Keyboard touch
Chord mode
Melody Intelligence
So.... given how completely clueless he was to his own products abilities, what do you think about his reassurance that the G70 is still being made, given that most of the European dealers are saying it has been discontinued?
I tell you, RolandUS is staffed by morons...
