I have just been given an opportunity to buy a Roland E60 for $600 (about $595 USD)...is it a decent board for that price?

My only experience is with the G70, GW8 and the BK7-m so I do nto know much about these...

Just thinking of using it along with vA, and some VSTi drums and bass on the lappy...

Dennis, the E60 is a nice board..very playable keybed...some newer drum kits from the E80, that are different from the G70...sounds are very similar to the BK7m...and the price is right...

Dennis for that money I would look into some of the new controller Kb's first.

And where is he going to find a good feeling 76 keyboard...the only option is an old A30,33 or 37....and the E60 is a better controller than those....and it has great sounds and styles with total editing.....Buy the E-60..

@ Donny, I have already gone the controller route, I even have an old A70 sitting in the storeroom smile

Fran is correct, the E60 represents better value than JUST a controller for the same money.
