Just because you failed to read the manual, or check this apparently indispensable feature before you bought it, hardly gives you the right to call something a bug...... As a software engineer, what do you call a feature that works as designed, but you don't happen to like it's implementation?

Me, I call it what it is.... poor design. Period.

As I have repeatedly stated, to your utter disregard, I am NOT an apologist for Roland, Anything but......... However, as moderator of the G70 Bug Forum, it is my job to winnow out the design flaws from the REAL bugs. We post them to separate forums, to help the Roland R&D team separate out the wishlist from the true bugs.

I've got a wishlist a mile long, some have already been answered, some are possibly coming in a new OS, some I may have to wait until the G80 (or whatever they call it) comes out, some I may never get....... But I don't try to cloud the waters by confusing my wish for a design change with a bug report.

What, as a software engineer, would you tell someone who did the same to you? It would probably involve a cart-load of asterixes..... Oh, and by the way, how did your request to Roland to fix this on the G1000 go? Did THEY acknowledge it as a bug........? Didn't think so

The sad thing is, here you are, sitting with a keyboard that has the same design flaw you already seem to have figured out how to work around, literally hundreds of improvements over the keyboard you want to go back to, and the strong possibility that, because it's sister keyboard has this feature fixed, there's a very good chance the G70 will soon(-ish!) get this upgrade too, and you are fixating on the one thing.

Are your glasses always half empty, or do you go around blaming someone else for drinking half your beer?

Me, I was incensed that Roland dropped the Chord Sequencer, but there's no way I'm going back to my G1000 just to use this one feature........ the drums suck, compared to the G70, the organs suck, compared to the G70, the piano sucks compared to the G70, the display and knobs suck compared to the G70......... I could go on forever.

Try to spend a bit more time figuring out all the improvements, and less time on this one feature that you never had before (at least I HAD a Chord Sequencer!!) and maybe the glass will be half full, again.........
