Now they have an arranger that's dedicated for this style of music specifically. I want to hear if they nailed it or not. We couldn't tell by any official demos as Roland posted that clown on their website playing some latin music-which we all clearly saw as a joke. _________________________ GEAR: Yamaha MOXF-6, Casio MZX-500, Roland Juno-Di, M-Audio Venom, Roland RS-70, Yamaha PSR S700, M-Audio Axiom Pro-61 (Midi Controller).

And while your at it I hope your not putting down musicians that create SMF, gig with them, record with them, etc ....because most of them have chops that you only dream of my misguided friend.Maybe I haven't touched a Gw8 but I will very very soon....but in the same thought I haven't heard any of YOUR work either except for a long while ago....so until that time enjoy your little delusional Yamaha Mr know it all world it doesnt impress me at all. I dont even know why I'm pissin' with you here its getting real boring...I have music to play. I have nothing against people who actually PLAY over SMF. Singing over commercial SMF is simply Karaoke. My work is posted on several forums...you are a member of at least one. Now...back to the incredible T3. Too bad about the GW8's lack of style editing/creating...it would have been a bit of fun, but I'm going to have to pass. You getting one?

Ian GW8 is not on my want list anymore but then again at that price what did you expect?.....not enough features for me to gig....good backup for an emergency gig though but nothing serious. Please provide a link to your songs or do you have a website link also?

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	That's it Ian hit the weak when their vulnerable....trying to talk poor Steve into a T3 when he knows all too well the 76 key Pax2 is a wonderful Pro arranger.... how shameless

adimatis Senior Member Registered: 01/28/05 Posts: 1159 Loc: Oradea, RO	here are some values: GW7: 32 Mb GW8: 256 MB = 32 Mb SonicCell: 128 Mb E60: 512 MB = 64 Mb E80: 1024 MB = 128 Mb and if I remember correctly, Pa50: 32 Mb. I dont know about G70, but could be 192 Mb indeed. Anyway, these values are important, but they dont say much about the quality of samples though. They are 16 bit lienar equivalent, so the compression or the samples in the instrument's actual memory is a very/more important issue.
