Actually I don't know why I am taking the time to answer such a question... but I started the thread, so I will make an exception in this case :-)

It is ABSOLUTELY EVIDENT, why the Roland staff do not / can not / should no go into a discussion as to answer "When the keyboard is given its original state". BTW - what you mean is presumably "its final state". Hey - try to go two steps back and look at, what you are saying. Whether the keyboard is in a final state will always be a subjective issue. Try to ask five different people to tell "how final" they think the keyboard is. Ask them to use percentages in their answers. You will likely get five different answers!

You want Roland to discuss their products in a forum like this one. Once again you a completely out of your mind. Imagine how resourceful a task this would be, if Roland should use resources to monitor and to comment on this and that in this forum. And what about the hundreds of similar fora on the Internet. Do you also think, that Roland should support them too? And don't forget the thousands of newsgroups... and even if they did accept to participate in a discussion in an Internet forum, then the tone here is way out of line. People are having unrealistic demands, and everyone seems to think, that his own personal opinion is the naked truth. A company like Roland can't go into a discussion on these terms. Either can Korg, Ketron, Yamaha etc. - for that sake :-)

It is obviously to me, that your comments have been given very little consideration, before they are published! I don't know whether you are very young at age, but it seems to me, that you are very unexperienced regarding the issues mentioned here. Therefore, get some experience in life. Try to work in marketing or a simmilar business, where you can get a more realistic picture of how things are working. And please, stop this vendetta, and stop continuing making a fool out of yourself by suggesting these unrealistic things!

Once again I appeal to everyone to keep a sober tone! Think about what you are writing. If you don't have anything constructive to say, then back off and find another thread :-) Remember - this thread had only one humble goal, and that was to spread a happy word!
