Is it on the Roland US site you mean?
I cant seem to find that with my screen reader. I'm visually impaired. Is it a Macromedia Flash movie?

Yes it's on the Roland US website. Right under the (changing pic) of the E-80 there are three small icons. One's titled Images, the other Audio, and the last one is Video.

If you don't mind my asking what is your visual impairment, and to what degree. I'm not trying to pry, but I too have a serious vision problem (that was genetic). All my offspring will suffer from it (as it is present in my 4 year old)--She was placed in glasses at 16 months old!

Listening to the demos, the drums and guitars sound better then at the Blackpool Festival, but overall it still sounds like a PSR 3000, so I am still not impressed. (To my ears the Tyros 2 and particularly the Korg PA1X easily put the E80 in the shade)
However that is just my opinion.

Hello,
No problems. I am totally blind so i am using both speech and braille.
No, I cant find that button! Have even used my screen readers more advanced functions in navigating, but that flash object isn't accessible.
Is it possible to have a direct URL to it or are they MP3s which someone might give the direct URL to? many thanks!

Boy, I can't see a way to directly post the demos link. If you right click on the demo--the option to copy it isn't available.

Sounds good - just listended to it. (Audio/Video) comparable to the PA1x? - or better, perhaps?

Totally agree Abacus, they had time to make some changes since Blackpool and looks like they haven't. I'm surprised since it didn't make that much of an impression there anyway. At least it saves me having to go and see one. Still sounds no better than a G70.

Hello Christian
The Demos are in Macromedia format, I have downloaded the files, encoded them to MP3, and uploaded them to Rapidshare as a Zip file, and here is the link. http://rapidshare.de/files/25858863/E_80.zip.html
Hope you enjoy.

Bill

Hello Bill,
Many thanks for your help!
Unfortunatly the Rapidshare prompts me for an access code which seem to be displaied as an image which my screen reader can't see! So maybe if you could email it to me? Many thanks!
