Aha, you beat me to it. I had the right answer to your question!

Thanks for the mp3 demo. IMHO, the strings in the demo were of pretty poor quality though at one time I almost bought a Wersi Pegasus Wing to run vArranger. Wersi does make some unique products.

Demo distorted, not well recorded. I've heard it live and sounds better. But Wersi used the touch screen technology well ahead of the big guys.

Class act....Fran, I'm talking about. Yeah, we took his post for a little spin, had a little fun, rambled through a variety of unrelated topics, and guess what? Not a peep, not a grimace, not a single moan, groan, or complaint from Fran. I think he knows that old men sometimes have a hard time concentrating, often forgetting what they were talking about five minutes ago . The point is, he knows we were not disrespecting him or his post and chose to just let it slide and not berate us for having a little SZ fun.

Now I'm not advocating that we hijack every post and head for Mexico; in fact, we should probably not do it at all. But if we occasionally lapse into silliness, especially if it's not malicious, let's take a cue from Fran and not make a Federal case about it. Let's face it, your post isn't going to win a Pulitzer. Relax and have a little fun, after all, it only takes one well-worded post to get it back on track. JMO.

Just going to ask Fran,
How are the orchestral strings on the bk9? Are they supernatural strings from the integra module, or updated? And are they the same in the ea7? They sound really nice on the Ralph Schink demo I watched on YouTube.

Sparky the strings and orchestral patches are excellent on the BK9..

No Super Natural offering but many taken from the SRX library..

There is a selection of 124 string/orchestral tones... Many are the best I have heard on any keyboard..


You can use up to 3 insert effects on a single tone and you can layer 4 tones … so you can imagine the sound you can obtain..

The BK9 sound is superior over the EA7.. I notice more SRX sounds on the BK9.

Thanks- title of video said Supernatural strings and thus the question
bk9 strings demo

Sparky Strings are not listed in the Super Natural list within the keyboard.. I guess it is possible that the SN strings could have been sampled and are part of the SRX library..

For an extensive library of SN sounds … the way to go is Integra7..

Thank you Fran. One more question..due to split screens in both ea7 and bk9, I imagine there's no video out jack? If so, assignable to one or the other? Or possible to combine both in one view?

The EA7 has fixed content on each screen and works well once you get the idea how it works ..the EA7 has no video output..

The BK9 has a switchable screen button and allows some modification..

It works well but I think the EA7 dual screens has an edge.. The BK9 does have a video output..

I will add that the Roland DUAL Screen concept at first was a bit weird, BUT, once you understand it and get used to it makes a whole lotta sense especially when performing Live..
