Hey Hey Hey! Don't go telling people where to post their opinions The title of this particular forum is GENERAL ARRANGERS. If you want to post "specifically" about Yamaha arrangers (as you say most here are Yamaha owners) then there is a dedicated YAMAHA ARRANGERS forum for those posts as well. This forum covers ALL arrangers.

Is it fair to other arranger players for there to be a "bias" towards Yamaha on the GENERAL ARRANGER forum?

NOW PLAY NICE!

True True,

It just doesnt look and sound very friendly when there is someone who constantly talks down on a product that most people in this forum are prowd owners of.

By raising such opinions in front of all these people, you must know that there is someone who is going to express their own opinion of you and what you are stating...

Thats why some opinions are best kept to yourself.

Nick G.......... 'Fraid most of the talking down on this forum has been AGAINST the G70, not for it........... (Hurts when the shoe is on the other foot, don't it?). If you need a nice safe place to troll where you won't hear anything bad about the Yamaha's (except of course from Yamaha owners who realize that there MIGHT be room for improvement in Yamaha-land!) there IS a Yamaha Forum. Knock yourself out in there with self-congratulatism!

You might also research just how experienced and professional many of the posters on this thread are, before you chime in with what must be taken as a completely childish rant....... Just ask yourself 'Would I have talked like this to any of these guys faces?' ....... If not, think before you post - if so, well, just ask your Mommy all about being polite.........


kbrkr, I think the jury is still out on the G70 (especially in the US) because they are so hard to find......... They also got a bad rap when they first came out because of the poorly balanced styles (since fixed) and tended to not sound as polished as the Tyros2 out of the box.

However, many pros have been quietly and slowly moving towards it, primarily because of it's wonderful 'live band' sound, and, I guess, pros are more used to having to do a fair bit of tweaking before ANY keyboard is to their liking.

Hobbyist tend to not want to deal with tweaking as much as pros, and tend also towards a more polished 'CD-like' sound rather than the 'live band' sound that Roland have always specialized in.........

Fran and I have already had our go-'round at the Danish site, and I can only say we have respectfully agreed to disagree, with the exception that he DOES admit that if he were trying to replace his entire rig (keyboards, modules AND laptop stuff) with ONE keyboard, the G70 would be his choice.........

Anyway, I definitely feel that, as more and more pros and experienced hobbyists finally get to hear the G70 in person (not the over-produced Roland demos), the balance is starting to change. Who knows, maybe if only the nay-sayers who have actually PLAYED a G70 in the last 8 months (since the new OS and style revisions) post negatively about the G70, it might get a LOT quieter in here............

Jeees, where do I sign up for my spot in the we love Fran Club?

Your already a member of the club here on the SZ

Just remember, you are a JUNIOR member of the 'we love Fran club'!! (and the initiation ceremony is painful and degrading, and involves carrying Fran's huge gear list for a month!)
