How far we've come !! _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

Most of us have laptops and computers, but iPad is nowhere near as universal. I still believe that dropping the touch screen (remember, the E50 retailed at nearly half the price of a BK9) is a huge blunder. _________________________ An arranger is just a tool.

How far we've come !! iPad is what's happening everywhere!! .... millions sold already and more apps, and models on the way to integrate with so many devices, instruments, etc,...good luck Bill keep us posted on your iPad experiences. I'm still a laptop user but little by little I am intrigued by what iPad will bring to us next and down the road who knows if it can better my needs I sure will get one also.

Speaking of the E-50....I have decided to use the E-50 for senior gigs, because of the touch screen...making it easier to change up things on the fly, that involved a bit more menu changes on the BK-5....I also have the "cover" missing on the BK-5..The make up tools are easier to use with a touch screen too.. The playlist is also a great feature for senior gigs... What the BK-5 brings to the table..is the best player (MP3, wave)...but it is not needed for senior gigs.. In deed the E-50 still has merits... _________________________ www.francarango.com

For now Fran it's a great combo for your needs with the G70/E50,.....that's just until your BK9 come in then you will have a 76-key 20lb powerhouse BK-9 Backing KB to compliment the G70 that you can keep inside for studio use.. and gig with the new BK-9.
