Hi Donny,
Yes, I am looking at using the new Roland Backing Module. It seems to me many of us spend a lot of money to play TOTL arrangers and most of the audiences I perform for could care less - it's the music and how it is played that gets their attention. So, as I get older(now 70) and often play 2 or three gigs a day I would like to lighten my load on gigs. Right now I am down to a Bose L1 Compact and my Tyros 4 plus all the supporting gear. Anyway, thought I would give it a try and see how it would work.

Bill....I hear ya on the lighten the load thing but keep in mind.. more wired and pieces to hook up, won't be as easy to communicate with the pieces as it is with one arranger Kb.....and i would suggest you don't buy this module until you actually listen good to it as it is just the prelude/GW8 in a box and compared to the Tyros4 or what your used to regarding TOTl units will be much different......even then i would hook it all up in the store and try to seamlessly play a set or two to see if its for you.....yes it looks good in theory but in actual LIVE PLAY its much different......I've been this route a few times and nothing for me works better then ONE ARRANGER KB & LT.
Good luck
