Holy crap that's awesome! That'll be a very big upgrade for current GW-8 owners. Now they can create styles from scratch and edit the presets!!!!!

I have not seen any evidence or comment by Roland on this release that says an NTA function has been added.


P.43 of the GW-8 v2 manual... plus the 'What's New in V2'

Just download the Update, and the manual is zipped up with it...

Only SOME of us expected that

Anyway, GW-8L's are still available in the US at $895. That is one HELL of a bang for the buck at that price. I am SERIOUSLY considering getting one for guerrilla gigs now that I can edit the styles to taste (and fix the odd translation from G70 style issues).

Diki I can promise you the GW8 IS a great keyboard. It was just the NTA missing that caused me to offload it.

Even the keybed is quite reasonable.

Yeah, Dennis... I had one (a friend's) for about a week and really quite liked it but for the inability to edit styles.

THAT'S fixed (and the NTA issue). Seems like a good time to get one
