ROLAND KEYBOARD GW-8

Roland’s popular GW-8 workstation evolves with Version 2. Building on the foundation of intelligent backing-track functionality, contemporary sounds from around the world, and expressive interactive musical styles, the GW-8 Version 2 adds a new Style Composer that lets you edit the Styles as well as create your own interactive backing tracks. Put your personal stamp of creativity on this amazing instrument.

New on Version 2
- Style Composer to create and customize Styles
- New preset Styles added to Version 2
- The NTA (Note to Arranger) function allows hands-free control of the arranger engine from external MIDI gear such as Roland’s PK-5A MIDI pedal (sold separately) and Roland V-Accordions
- Create multi-track rhythms for a complex drums/percussion ensemble
- Edit SMF files and save them as new songs
