No, that definition is a karaoke machine
This thing is an utter boondoggle. How many of us want to hook up a TV for an audio visual presentation, while we sing karaoke over an SMF or center canceled CD? OK maybe a few...
but even THEY like to play styles from time to time.
GW-8 can do all this can and MUCH more, with the exception of the A/V stuff... This VIMA strikes me as a way to milk money from people with absolutely NO playing skills whatsoever. Because, of course, once the get it, they are going to be hooked on the VERY expensive 'play along' CD's.
Deedling the gullible. For shame, Roland... Shouldn't you be working on a worthy successor to the G70?
