hello I'm new on this forum;
first, sorry for my english I'm french

I'm currently looking for a new synth, but I want to be sure of my choice, since 650€ (~$900 ?) is quite high for me.

first, talk about the sounds:
I had before an old Sound Canvas SC88Pro, it had some great sounds (love pianos) but poor woodwinds, strings and brasses. Is the GW8 a big improvement on these sounds compared to the SC88?

next, I'd like to know how good is the sequencer... can I do step-by-step editing? can I generate MIDI files from what i've recorded through the sequencer?


I like to play the keyboard but my main activity is composing, with the computer.

Do you think this synth is OK for what I want to do with? (new sounds for composing, good keyboard keys for playing occasionally, little sequencer to record some ideas without my computer)

I will go to a music market to try it, but more opinions from users are always useful !!
