Hello Chums.! I am in one of those; 'Want moods' again.! I have been studying the details of the Roland GW-8E (European version) Workstation/Synthesizer/Arranger keyboard, and listening to samples, etc, on U-Tube, etc.>>> all done on the Keyboard (no computer!).

I’ll get to that in a minute but remember some of these drivers block their flight from being tracked. How many nascar drivers have private jets today. What’s my favorite drivers tail number? Go to this website Punch in your favorite drivers tail number and now you can track them to and from the racetrack. If you want other sports teams charters or a specific teams charter, blog me back and let me know. I know, I know.

Mesmerising!!.).(Uncle Bert's Cousin?).! Somewhat similar to my Yamaha Motif MO6, but with the addition of an excellent Rhythm Arranger/Sequencer (which my MO6 doesn't have!.).more like my little MM6, but with a lot more programmable features!

Roland Clan Forums. You can add your own styles to the GW-8 using the Editor and a USB drive. Some sites sell styles. Styles that can be downloaded free.

Its the sort of thing, for me, which would have been better than purchasing my MO6, (and cheaper!). (I like the added 'Arranger' functions in a Workstation/Synth.>> Intros.Variations.Endings.etc). (In proper English!!).>>> The Version 2 is equipped with an upgraded operating system allowing great detail in programming (if required). It seems like an excellent 'all-rounder', at a bargain price!£655.or less!! Does anyone here have any experience of the Roland GW-8 to pass on?any advice? The User Manual, Guide, etc, is very impressive!

.you are all too late with your advice/comments/recommendations.! I could wait no longer after reading all the reviews and demonstrations, etc, on the Internet, I took the plunge and finally ordered the Roland GW-8 Workstation/Synthesizer/Arranger.! I suspect it is something I should have bought in the first place, instead of my Yamaha Motif MO6 Workstation! I really cant be bothered with spending hours and hours programming Film Music scores.(like Vangelis).I just want to sit down and play the bl**dy thing!!.and, of course, that's just what an 'Workstation + Arranger' keyboard does, with its built-in rhythms and styles! The GW-8 is just a massive upgrade to my little Motif MM6 Workstation (with its rhythms)! I just have to sleep in my garden shed now that there is no more spare room left in my house.and Winter is on its way!! Paul.Will post a review when it arrives.!

Whilst waiting to the postman to deliver my new piece of joy today (Friday 25th), I am busy printing out the Voice (Tone) List, and Style List, to save constantly delving through the extensive User Manual each time! I contacted the Lads at DV 247 (Birmingham branch) by 'phone, and ordered it on Thursday afternoon, and they immediately confirmed, by E-Mail, delivery for the next day, Friday Morning.and at a bargain price, to boot!! How's that for an [s]AWESOME*[/s] wonderful service, from DV247.!!

(A 'phone order can arranger a special deal, which an order via Internet wont!) Well worth a congratulatory reply for the excellent service! Will report back on my views of the Roland GW-8E (Version 2).looks good, so far!

Paul.More Toys!.! *.please shoot me if I accidentally type the word; 'Awesome' in any of my posts!.! The different versions: GW-8E, GW-8L, etc, etc.Version 2. I ordered the (E) European version, but the (L) Latin version was delivered. I could get them swapped over, but I'm thinking that the L version was aimed at the American market to suit the South American customers with the Latin Dance Styles?.and the (E) European was version aimed at the European market with the Eastern Bloc Dance Styles? (ROLAND GW8E HAS ADDITION OF EASTERN EUROPEAN- BALKAN-ORIENTAL STYLES AND SOUNDS LIKE 7/8-9/8 -KOLO-CHARDASH-HORA-ETC ).Not for me!!

If so, comparing the two different styles, I think I would prefer the Latin Version.! Maybe the (L) version is more suited to the 'U.K market', rather than the European market? My version already has the standard Rhythm Styles and Tones, with the Latin Styles and Tones as an extra included set. So I may stick to it!! (It has more than enough Tones and Styles as it is!).! I am quite/very pleased with it, so far!! It certainly has a lot more in it, compared to my Yamaha MM6 Workstation, and, of course, it has all the rhythms, etc, included, which my Yamaha MO6 Workstation doesn't have!I like Rhythms!!
