The only Roland arrangers misssing from my list are...E5,10,15,16, and VA76, also GW8, BK9, and BK7m..and 3 series from VA,EXR,and BK..
I should mention there were some E series like the E16 that were not sold in USA..I did forget to mention the EM 15,25..

I don't think you are going to top my Roland list smile

I meant all my arrangers I've owned together thru the years for all manufacturers...I wouldn't be proud of it...just a finicky curiosity thing & I've made every one of them gig worthy on stage also that says something. I've slowed down as technology improves I guess.....but I'm always on the look out for whats new. cool2

I had a bunch of them too, Fran, certainly not near as many as you.

I had the E-20, E-30, E-70, E-35, E-86, E-5, and E-66. There were a few KR instruments, the KR-100, KR-500, KR-650 and a KR-5000. I was doing clinics for them back in the late 80's early 90's.

I also had several Roland Arranger modules, such as the RA-50, Ra-90, and RA-95...I used these with a Yamaha Clavinova CP-300 that I had partially portabilized.

They were all great instruments and I enjoyed them all.

If I listed all my past keyboards (all brands-including synths), it would probably number close to 50.

Ian, I don't think I could recall every keyboard I owned for personal use (Not store stock)..but from 1982 till about 2000..I just about had eveything..from Sequential circuits to MediaStation..Lots and lots of Roland ,Korg ,Yamaha,Solton, Crumar, Siel, Casio,Oberheim etc..

Imagine the "Super" store I would have..if I had all the keyboards now...like you sitting on the Jupiter 8 smile
