Feature:
World and latin styles and voices are great, the most realist brass section I ever heard for a keyboard at this price range. SRX expansion are missing analog controls well structured buttons.

Quality:
Looks well constructed, although it's not stylish, it looks professional

Value:
for this kind of price you won't find anything better

Sound:
High quality fantom x and sonic cell sounds, it has even SRX expansion sounds as well. I can't believe this goes under 1 grand, it has full arranger functions and dedicated buttons, works as a synth as well. Usb player/recorder/sequencer is a great feature

Ease of Use:
It's a roland product, you need to get used to it..

Support:
Haven't needed it yet.

Overall:
Great product with a lot of innovations for a cheap price

Feature:
Again.. this is an arranger, not a synth. The backing styles include up to 8 accompanying instruments, each of which can be adjusted for volume or muted. Variations in intros, mains and fills vary from simple to complex... Sequence is a big improvement over the GW7 (which i have) allowing simple functions and layering of tracks on a mix/replace basis.. MOre than good enough for this type of product.. want a better seqencer..go buy the Juno G.. but this is an arranger.

Desirability:
The silver of the GW7 was nicer looking..

Sound:
The sounds in the GW8 are a subset of the Fantom G.. are vastly superior to its predecessor the GW7.. Compared to other arranger keyboards in this price range this is simply excellent.

Ease of Use:
Relatively simple to get started, though intricacies of partview and sequencing take some time to get used to.. But if you can play, it is relatively easy to start setting up and saving performances.

Overall:
If you have a good ear for quality sounds, and wish to learn or want an arranger this is the most reasonable bang for the buck.. forget com

Feature:
What features there in GW8 ? I didn't see anything more from a normal low cost Yamaha keyboards. Roland is saying USB memory player is a great feature. For this we can use a MP3 player. no need Roland Gw8. We cannot call it as a workstation. It doesn't have options. Also Roland is cheating the customers by hiding some facts. It has a set of MFX effects to sweeten the tones. But these effects cannot apply for recording the song. That is why it is not a workstation.

Quality:
The product hardware is well and good

Value:
Price is not much but the described features are not usefull.

Desirability:
It is good looking

Sound:
Gw8 sounds are of good quality

Ease of Use:
Actually it is easy to understand. But for actual use it has not defined well. in details. I have selected a performance bank No:1. after I trying to play a song from the song list. By the time selected performance will disappear. Roland is saying song is a backing track. but we cannot use the song as a backing track. Because without any reason the selected tone is changing according to the playing song.eg.If the song is playing strings we can play strings on keyboard and if the song is playing piano we can also play piano. this ia a stupidity made by roland.

Support:
Roland has an email support. But the answer is not to the questions. They will copy and paste a sentence from the owners manual. It is not usefull.

Overall:
Anyway I want to replace it. Because it cannot satisfy my requirements. I never suggest this product to anybody. Yamaha PSR 630 or 640 was far better than this one.

Feature:
D Beam, Melody intelligense and USB player are OK. But it is not helpfull for a performance.

Quality:
Product is made well and its LCD display is Fine

Value:
For live performance it is OK. But roland is included a an onboard sequencer but it is not usefull. So it is not worth of this price.

Desirability:
Appearance is very nice. I like it.

Sound:
Sound quality is OK. But th effects are applicable only for live performance but not for recording. SO the sequencer section is very poor.

Ease of Use:
It is easy to use.

Support:
Roland is not giving proper answer for the questions.

Overall:
I want to replace it because of its sequencer problem.

Feature:
Not much in the way of features

Quality:
the product is made well and seems durable

Value:
Not really worth the money

Sound:
Most of the sounds are very hollow They have been mixed with effects badly Poor sounding organs pianos are ok strings average some brass is good

Ease of Use:
Look its easy to use

Support:
good support

Overall:
not much effort has gone into this product style converter is crap,useless styles are ok but you cant edit them at all I made a big mistake not trying it in the store before buying lucky for me I was able to sell it....phewww !
