This brings me to center court... grin ...The G70 has the absolute best operating system, for getting things done..in a way that makes sense...you NEVER have to go out of the mode you are working to continue the process of editing and saving...It has the best tools for all of the above..

As an example ..when you need to use a sequencer on the Korg to edit a SMF....you have to load in another mode and re-save the edits..before going back to your performing mode...None of this flows at all..

G70 totally dominates here....

This is why I give Roland's "User programs" the edge over the Korg's "songbook"...a BIG edge.. grin


I also retain about 2,000 styles ready for selection.....and about 4,000 SMF's..ready to go..
nd the best "user program" concept.. wink


Fran,

Maybe I missed the boat, didn't have the patience or just didn't give the G70 enough time, but I gotta say I had one hell of a time juggle trying to get my mind around exactly how how "user programs" functioned. If I could have even found a way to store 500 tunes give or take for ready access I would have been one happy Roland owner. I've toyed with the idea of getting one for use in my home studio.....but as time goes on they are becoming a rare commodity.
