They had one in my area....kept moving it around from store to store(it was a chain)...eventually sold it...didn't bring in anymore.

I played it quite a bit whilst it was in my neighborhood store....never could warm up to it entirely, but, I am more used to Yamaha's OS and find it more intuitive.

I did like the organs...not as good as the G but still pretty cool....rotary effect was very well done.

I also prefer the Yamaha pitch/mod wheels to the bender lever...never liked it much on my Jupiter 8 either...of course, that's a personal thing...some even like the Korg joystick...I didn't.

The pianos all suffer a bit in the mid range...Yamaha pianos may be brighter and more crisp, but they don't lack mid-range...they sit perfectly in the arranger mix, as they are designed to do.

Why don't you have an E-60,Diki? You could probably get one on the cheap considering they've been out a while.

Wouldn't that be a great addition to your kit...better than a GW8...you wouldn't lose the 76 notes that you prefer, and not much heavier...certainly way more portable than the G70?

I may investigate a Sonic Cell...are the organs as good as the E or G? Rotary effect?
