the xp-80 is a 90s synth synthesizers have come the end of there peek all ways same old sound in new shiney boxes and all the hype to come with it to sell the product soft synths all the way and best of all they dont cost a thing and they sound great

The key action is very lose and hard, plus you can't change velocity curves! Just set it to fixed velocity. It's hard as hell to play dynamically on those keys...
I dont like the patches on this keyboard, Roland has great monsters such as xp80, but the gw7 sounds so plastic and generic, I donot know, but i just didnt like it when I tried it at the music store
The instruments on the GW-7 aren't bad in general, but some are really cheap with audible loop points and speed shifts with pitch. The sequencer is the most basic I've ever seen, it lacks even a quantization feature (it's more like a multitrack recorder). I found the whole thing pretty complicated to use (especially all the quirks of the various modes). Before buying, read the manual very carefully. The thing cannot do anything not printed in the manual. (for instance, in SONG mode, which you have to use when inputting external MIDI, you cannot change the current instrument from the GW-7, only from the MIDI program) For a 2005-2009 machine, the display is a joke: It's only one line of text with some additional fields. A fullscreen LCD (like 640x480) would have been much better (the space for mounting that is there). So, it's hard to understand why they didn't give the GW-7 a proper display (which would have made usage and workflows much easier). A big thumbs down to Roland for that one!
p.s.: I bought it used, and the buttons often require multiple presses to activate. When the velocity sensors are on, the keyboard itself requires hitting the keys hard enough to produce audible sound (not sure if this is from wear of the used machine, or designed like that). Turning velocity sensing off solves this problem, but the setting often gets lost when switching modes (despite I saved it into a "performance"). The split point, once set, cannot be easily removed. Sometimes it does work when pressing SPLIT again. If it doesn't, you have to move the split point out of the range of the keyboard, then the SPLIT LED turns off. Sometimes the current instrument is lost when switching modes. It's possible to use the FAVORITE function to recall one instrument for each category button (it need not be from the same category). The learning curve of the GW-7 is not steep, per se, but it does require some practice and getting used to. So it's not exactly easy to use.
p.p.s: Calling this a "workstation" is an euphemism. Or perhaps it is because it is more work than fun to use this thing! ;) -- Probably they only printed "workstation" on it so people don't feel so bad when having to buy one. ;) -- What I would expect from a workstation would be full-featured song, style and instrument editors, and the GW-7 has neither. But the instruments are often really good, so I'd only recommend it for using as a MIDI slave (with a full-featured MIDI program, if you can find one nowadays).
p.p.p.s: On the plus side, it's possible to record a style and replace individual style tracks later on (perhaps that's why they call it a "workstation"). So, it's in principle possible to start out with some preset style, add some stuff, and then gradually replace the style tracks until the work is completely one's own. :) Another interesting feature is the support of the quarter tone (Arabic) scale, which works particularly well with stringed instruments. :)
i'm thai
..i like your style
..so cool
HE IS THE BACK TO FUTURE GUY !!!
Esse cara é uito bom e o teclado também!!!

all ways same old sound in new shiney boxes and all the hype to come with it to sell the product soft synths all the way and best of all they dont cost a thing and they sound great
LMAO.....you a fool for that one bruh.....Good call.
Hi!. I bought this keyboard (Roland GW-7) three days ago... But I have a question, How can i transpose tones?... Thanks!...
its now november 2015. is 400 a good price?
WOW... Wait just a moment... New ethnic styles?
Something is not right about that...
That keyboard has some nice features.
How old is it?
I have had mine for the past 5 years.the only thing I don't like about it is the the fact that you can't edit the automatic section.
Мне тоже так показалось) Видимо не я один такой)

Look at 4:37 Oppssss
Yamaha MM6 is much better than this.
