If it is indeed true that Roland excels in midi playback as some people have implied somebody please post a midi song using a Roland Keyboard or Arranger - using 'just' the Keyboard or Arranger with no other enhancements or tricks and record it using a Hard Disk recorder or your PC/Mac recording software and convert it to an .mp3 and post a link here on the Zone so everyone, not just me, can compare and judge for themselves. If it is really true Roland rules the roost regarding midi playback I will be the first one to admit it but so far all I hear is talk, talk, talk, with no solid proof.

Btw, the song is called "Sono Contento" (They Are Content) by Alex Britti, an Italian.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:

Sono Contento

Best regards,
Mike


I found a commercial midi file of this song and I adapted it to my Roland G-70 (in a few minutes using Song MakeUP tools).
I recorded the output of the G-70 using Wavelab without any further editing.
Unfortunately I don't have a personal web page; if anyone is available to host the file I recorded, it would be possible to compare it with Mike's one.
