miden Senior Member Registered: 01/31/06 Posts: 3354 Loc: The World	Originally Posted By: Tostie One of the few advantages Roland has over Yamaha is the better iPad integration with their instruments. In that case, the need for a large display on the instrument itself is less indispensable for a 'top' arranger. You ARE kidding, right?

Fran Carango Senior Member Registered: 05/26/99 Posts: 9673 Loc: Levittown, Pa, USA	Originally Posted By: miden Same keybed as the BK-5/GW8/Prelude just with 76 notes Dennis, I believe all three of these models have different keybeds... For sure the Prelude and BK5 are different..(I still have both..The Prelude belongs to the band)..and if the GW8 is like the GW7 (I did own)...it is also different (more like the JunoG)..I disliked the Juno G keybed (I also owned that board).. Also TW...In past years Roland designed and manufactured their own keybeds.. Korg and MediaStation are Fatar beds...Yamaha , I believe are made by "Mattel" _________________________ www.francarango.com

Diki Registered: 04/25/05 Posts: 14196 Loc: NW Florida	Features make the league, not the price. A CS will definitely put it head and shoulders above any Yamaha. You have no idea how useful this one feature is until you have tried it. 76 keys also puts it in a different league to Yamaha. _________________________ An arranger is just a tool. What matters is what you build with it..!
