I think the big new feature was sampling --kinda like the E-A7 wink

The chord sequencer was dropped, and didn't return until the BK-9

For whatever reason Diki and some of the other big Roland users skipped this generation. They held onto their G-1000s until the G-70 was mature, and traded up to that.

I remember trying the G-1000 in a store and being blown away, but the price was way beyond my reach at the time. All of these boards are huge and incredibly heavy by modern standards.

Many years ago I remember watching Uncle Dave performing
with a Roland VA7 arranger KB at the club.......
maybe he can chime in with his recollection using it?
