I just came across the terrible video of the BK-9 that triggered a shitstorm right away when it was introduced.
Too pompous and pretentious, too exaggerated pictures, too soppy, and in some parts not even really well played.

I remember seeing this video when it came out, and thinking is was so bad it was laughable. But at least you can tell the keyboard player is working hard, because he's sweating like a pig! smile

Shame, Roland!

It seems like their marketing team were as brilliant as the IT programmers' team in the case of Ketron (MidjPro) wink

I have one, but it sure wasn't because of that shameful video. It is so obvious he is pretending to play many automated parts.

I never saw that video but there were so many others I think that one got lost. Thanks God, it stinks ! BK9 is a good keyboard for live performers and really lacks nothing for me. Mayve a vocal processor built in instead of just reverb.
For home use there are others with more features.
