Roland has allways sounded really good.

They just stopped making totals.. No more high end workstations or arrangers in the last 10 years..

Even the ea7 sounds good, Just misses out on the high end features...


Back to the bk9, never understood the dislikes.. Tough would have loved some multipads/midibased .. But everything else is there, they could have added some more supernatural stuff.. Except for the styles, the Fa06 that only cost halt of the bk9 has so much more to offer, FA06 plus bk7..

Biggest dissapointment was that roland never delivered on the promissed expansion voices, was supposed to be expansions on the axial database, but that never happened.

Seems soon the whole BK series belongs to the past as the last evidence of Roland europe.


At its current price however, BK9 has no competition when it comes to 76 key arrangers..
