I'm using arranger PSR-S910, which I've been OK and happy with its voices and styles. But this BK-7M blows me away with its sound quality. Both voices, and styles are much better than my S910, a distance difference! Roland natural piano is lovely. Just connect to a good PA, then you can see the sound quality piano differences between the BK-7M piano and the S910 SA piano. And the drum beat, bass in the styles are so clear, and realistic, which helps both musicians and vocals in the band to follow the beat as well. I've tried the audiostyle of the new S950, but it is still not as good and realistic as the BK-7M Real Band styles. I'm using Roland A-800 Pro (61 key MIDI controller) to connect to BK-7M. This setup has become my main one, as the S910 becomes a backup. The BK-7M seems strange at first, but after 1, 2 day playing around with all the buttons (for live playing), it becomes straightforward and natural It can be controlled using ipad via free apps (Roland partner), but I haven't tried this yet. Heard that will be easier to control during live playing. In summary, BK-7M is one of the best module for MIDI keyboard, especially when we need the arranger functions.
