So far, I haven't managed to hear ANY 'choke' on my G70. And I am VERY picky about timing and feel.

In fact, when I first got it, the speed of response and ability to stack a bunch of stereo voices with zero (I repeat, ZERO) flamming was the first thing I noticed.

About the only time I can hear any slowdown at all is when I try to use the Guitar Mode, which has to do a LOT of computation before the chord sounds. The timing of the style doesn't move, though, just the guitar chord you are playing. Roland need to work on how fast that works before they can integrate it into the regular style mode (which is one of the things I hope they are working hard at ).

Bottom line is, if you are choking a 128 voice arranger, you are probably getting into muddy mix country, anyway
