Well, I'm in the US, so isn't that all that's available here?

Soon find out, anyway...

Opinions vary as to the authenticity of the Latin styles, some are not impressed... some are

Sadly, we're both (my friend and I) Mac users, so I have no opportunity to try out the style software and playlist editor.

Details soon, anyway...

I wasn't sure if your friend was lucky enough to find a model other than the latin version.., that's why I asked.

I posted this in another thread but nobody responded. I guess this is why I'm a "lurker", nobody responds to me. This a just a joke folks,my weird sense of humor. The videos are in French with a lot of talking but I just fast forward to the music sections. Here is the link. Sounds pretty good to me. http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/gw-8

I am curious if anyone else has tried Roland Style Converter 3. I attempted to convert a Korg PA800 style but kept running into the following program change based error.

• In this SMF (chord 'chord'), a PC (number 'program change') exists on measure 'measure,' beat
'beat,' tick 'tick,' while a note is still playing on MIDI channel 'channel.'
Meaning: For the SMF of chord 'chord,' a program change 'program change' exists on MIDI channel 'channel,'
located at measure 'measure,' beat 'beat,' and tick 'tick.'
Action : Either move the program change, or move the note-off to a point earlier than the program change.

I am interested in determining how labor intensive it would be to convert styles from my Korg PA800 to a GW-8.

thanks
Brian

Adi, having owned the Sonic Cell and Juno G..I agree there is not much difference ..if any between the E-60 sound engine and the Sonic Cell engine, found in the Juno's and the GW8..

GW 8(Brazil version) will be available in my local Roland Dealer next 28th.
Price: 23% minus than E 50.
I am thinking to trade my E50 but I couldn't find the scats voices in GW8 voice list what is an important lack to me.

Considering the harder navigation (without touch screen a lot of operations via menu), I have some indecision about this trade.
May be E 50 continues as companion of my E900.

Chico, what is a E900?
