In demo #1....@4:43 what is the name of this Waltz...?


also Roland IMO with a few changes, upgrades, features,
could make the EA7 or EA8 an even more fantastic arranger KB

I am enjoying "our" EA7 a lot. Fran to DNJ to Hammer to me. Played it on the job last night. It's easy on my fingers and has styles that fit what I do very well.
It lacks the Supernatural sounds of the BK9, but it is better in many other ways. Intro one is now great for break/fills on many styles.
Look at 14:06--see how light a touch he's using.
I have buttons programmed for [1] Rotor slow/fast [2] Portamento [3] MFX off/on [4] Upper Voice Change [5] Melody Intelligence [6] Arranger Hold [7] Lower Hold
Pads set for drum riffs, applause, sound effects...
I'm on my second bank of 100 User Performances setups. And 20 or so favorite sounds...
What I'd like to see improved: Text file viewer, vocal harmony, larger number of Performances per Bank...always something...
It's not for sale. smile

Don, the EA7 to use Donnie's words ...is amazing, You only have to give it a true ride to find this out..

When you do all that hard work.. you can send a copy of your data, performances , pads etc. to me. grin

BTW: it seems the folks that appreciate the EA7 the most.. are the folks that also have high end keyboards also, to compare. wink

I don't have any pads or data except what's built in. Not sure you'd use my Performances but you are welcome to them.
Earlier today I sent you an email. smile

"correct" is the proper word, not right. smile

Donny's first language was "goo goo" grin

Re: Roland EA7 revisited - 07/26/19 03:19 PM

hee, hee ...
Right can be used more often than correct. Correct implies something is absolutely true. Right can be used in matters of opinion.

edit for referencing

Let's consider the math problem 2+2. We can use right and correct as follows: "2+2=4, is it right?" "2+2=4, is it correct?" Both are acceptable. However, let's now introduce a matter of opinion - "George Bush invaded Iraq, is it right?" "George Bush invaded Iraq, is it correct?" In this scenario, right is preferable to correct. The definition for each word supports this claim. Correct is defined as conforming to or agreeing with fact, logic, or known truth." Right is defined as "being in accordance with what is just, good, or proper."

"primary" is the proper word, not 'first' smile.

Also, what do you mean WAS "goo goo", it still is smile.

You bullies leave Donny alone. He has enough trouble deciding which keyboard fits him better, best, most gooder.

Re: Roland EA7 revisited - 07/26/19 03:57 PM

We're just worried about him. It's been a full day since the announcement of the PSR-SX900 and no 'for sale' post for his (2 day old) PA700 yet. He's probably just busy packing it up. Gosh, not even time for a 50 post, 100 YT Video 'evaluation' of the 700; what a disappointment. smile smile
