Well, Roland do it again in the completely naff demo department. The impression I get from this vid and it's presenter is either there isn't much to say about the Prelude or they just couldn't be bothered. I love Roland keyboard but jeez guys come on! get the demo's sorted will ya!
I'm thinking about buying a new keyboard next year,the prelude is fantastic for what it is.I want a roland keyboard with decent brass and solo string sounds above general midi quality.Prelude is one possibility and another is an E09.
Try and make sense of this though. The Prelude is nothing but the Roland GW-8 with speakers, less features, built for the home player.., and costs more. How much sense does that make? The Prelude is said to hit the market at just under $1000 ($999). The GW-8 (same keyboard without speakers) is built better, has patch editing and sells for $845.... Save yourself some money and buy the GW8. Prelude's another example of how they rip off the home buyer with jacked prices for a recycle unit.
Think im gonna do a little impulse purchase ^^

What's the difference between the Prelude and the GW-8?
I went to Roland keyboards, arrangers page and I didn't see the GW-8. why is that? I thought the GW-8 is an arranger?

The Roland 'Prelude' is a great instrument for players of all abilities and musical tastes.
With the greatest respect, this demo does not do it justice.
