I was very fortunate yesterday to be treated to a 3 hour demo by Roland District Sales Manager Travis Mitchell at Colton Music, my local dealer here in San Jose. I have concluded that Travis must know every thing there is to know about this keyboard and some tricks that nobody else even knows yet.
The President of Colton Music, Dave Gatt, my local dealer, made me an offer that was exactly the number I had in mind. They must be mindreaders as well You will also have to be a mindreader if you expect to find out the price I agreed to Don't ask. Just know that Colton has three stores in our Bay Area and they will deal. They also have the G 70's in stock.
I expect delivery in about another week so stay tuned.
I will be selling a Yamaha Tyros 2 and a PSR 9000 both with hard drive and maximum ram memory installed if anyone has any interest, just let me know. NO, I have no idea of current values so you can let me know about that too
Best to all
Bebop

Good luck on the E-80. I am sure you will have lots of fun with it. What features of the E-80 made you decide to switch from the T2?

Ditto! Must be one helluva board for you to be selling both Yammies!! Best of luck, Bebop. I'll be anxious to hear more about it once you get your hands on the E80.

BEBOP,
congratulations. My next keyboard may well be a Roland of some sort too.

Did you realize Technote have created most of the Technics style disks for the G70 on a single card http://www.technote.com/retail/product_list.asp?CatID=36

Accidently stumbled on it the other day. May be one way of havin g a piece of my technics back.

best wishes
Rikki

Congratulations BEBOP with your decision for the E80, it is a very good instrument,
There are many free styles made for the G70 that can be played on the E80 ( and other E's) as well. These styles are less complete than the factorystyles but some of them are very good.You will find them on the site of the Danish Roland Club.
You should try them.

Hi Bebop,
Congratulations,Great board,

I have had mine four months now and still scratching the surface.Be patient as it an entirely different beast than either the 9000 or Tyros2.
My E80 is used as as master coupled to a Yamaha3000 and Korg pa50 thereby
having endless sounds and styles.
you may find the more live in your face sounds and styles of the E80 as compared to the Tyros 2 require some getting use to,
i did,but now, WOW.

Best Regards Gilbert.

Congrats Bebop,

Last week I spent a couple of hours playing the E80 and the Motif XS at the local music store. I was quite impressed with the E80 overall, the sounds, styles, and what seemed to be a relative ease of navigation, particularly since I've never owned or spent any appreciable time with any Roland arrangers. Best of luck and may you have many many hours of enjoyment with it.

Regards,

AJ
