It doesn't have to say Roland on the keyboard..or Casio, Yamaha, Korg, Ketron..even Magnus..

Personally , if a keyboard does most of what I want..the company is secondary..

What I want is 76 , playable keys..

I want after touch..

A sequencer that can handle SMF's the way they should sound..

Edit functions that work in real time ..easily..

Expandable sound (Rom)..

Drawbar organ..

Great Bread and butter sounds..

A scat sound close to what I now use..

Style morphing in real time..

A chord sequencer..

A great harmonizer and great mic inputs..

A MP3/wave player that works great..

Monitor (video) output.

A media player that will play CDG files too..

A D beam type of interface to play accent instruments or pads..

A guitar voicing feature that allows the proper guitar voice played on keys.

An multi-track recording feature..

A complete USB audio/midi interface..

A keyboard that can also function as a complete midi controller,

with separate control of internal sounds..

A keyboard that handles conversion styles properly..

A quality built unit that would last..


I must say..right now I have most of the above covered..but it takes 2 or 3 keyboards to do so..

Roland G70, Lionstracs Media Station..and a 76 key midi controller..


Now if a company came out with all these features..
.
It would not matter if it was a Casio, or any other brand..
