BK-5 with 76 keys and some sliders...

Maybe Roland can reintroduce some of the great features lost in the transition from G70 to the BK series, but I have my doubts.

This is barely what you could call TOTL... MOTL is where it probably sits, at best. Not that there IS a TOTL Roland any more, and this won't be it. Even the keybed is the MOTL one.

G70 is still the zenith of Roland arranger quality...

Diki and Dennis (miden),
Why do you think the keybed is the same as the one on BK-5? In the video the keys appear longer and differently shaped. Also, the video teases that there will be some kind of on-board Vocal Harmony. Something Fran reported at roland-arranger.com suggests that there will be provisions for score display. From the BK-7m you have to figure on FC-7 input, as well as the ability to turn on & off UP1 and UP2 voices, Manual Bass. Plus the mastering tools from BK series that were never present on G-70. The BK-5 has a fully-featured rhythm composer (on-board style creation) and Makeup Tools. The menu parameters are pretty deep. What's left from the G-70 that this lacks?
