Jo, the sounds that I use are. Pianos are excellent, guitars and saxes are great. Organs are really good, but seem to lack the facility to change leslie speed via joystick. Maybe there is a way to set that up though. Scats, oohs, aahs, etc. are very believable. I will dig out some recordings that might help later this weekend. DonM _________________________ DonM

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15593 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Just walked outside to get the mail--the thermometer on the deck read 27-F, the driveway has about an inch of ice on it, and I had to wear golf shoes with metal spikes to get to the mailbox at the top of the driveway. If I can keep myself from falling apart, this time next year I'll be playing at a tiki bar in the Florida Keys.

The G-70 has a heavier, thicker sound that some find very appealing, whilst others think it's a bit too thick. I happen to like it as well. If the BK-5 had a sequencer, I'm sure it would sell better, but, it probably will do well, considering it's relatively low price.

Lots of snow last night...I'm not a fan of shoveling.

Ian You can easily edit any sound and tailor it to your liking on the G70 with ease...makeup tools are phenomenal, especially if you want to edit each individual piece of drum kit which to my knowledge your CANNOT do on any Yamaha arranger including the T4 ....IMO the G70 it has the best editing tools & sequencer of any arranger on the market new or old that I have ever used.
