Roland go their own way. There's little in basic arranger operation the BK-9 can't do, but it does it as differently to those as they are to each other!

I admit, it don't come out the box as polished as a Yamaha (closer to a Korg in that regard), but the tools to sculpt it into what YOU like are all there. But instant gratification? Not unless you just LISTEN to it!


Another BIG reason besides what it DON'T have! ...is exactly what your sayin, many players just want to pretty much just play out of the box and Not be a "Sculpture" or know how to either wink ...nothing wrong with that. It is what it is....either you like or you don't.
