Hello all,

I hope I am finding you all well, it's been a while since I've posted anything, I've been a little unwell of late but hopefully on the mend again.

I booked some time off work (much needed) and I was looking around various you tube videos and so forth of many different keyboards and one that really caught my eye was the Roland EA7, it looks and sounds great. I checked the price and it's very affordable so I purchased one this afternoon and arriving tomorrow hopefully.

During my arranger keyboard journey and experience, there were two brands that I've never owned over the years - Technics & Roland, I don't know why but that's how it turned out, however, I have always been determined to own one of these at some time, if not both (I know Technics don't produce anymore but there is a KN7000 going for a nice price but I don't know if I should due to it's age).

So I am really looking forward to this Roland, I am hoping the interface is quite intuitive and comparable to either Ketron or Yamaha, even if it isn't going to become my main keyboard (the SD60 currently has that status), but it will be a nice addition nonetheless.

I have some questions for those that own this keyboard or know how the Rolands work, is there a place where I can get additional styles from like you can with the Yamaha's, and do previous Roland's keyboards styles work in the EA7? I'd love to sample some of the styles I missed out from previous models of the past, the posts here I used to see were of models such as G800, G1000, G70, VA7 (hope I got the models right but i'm sure there are many more!!). How do styles load, is it direct from a pen drive like you can with Yamaha or does it have to load into memory like a Korg?

Thank you very much,
All the best,
Danny
