The touchscreen is not really a matter if a manufacturer would implement it in a good way, and not like Roland did. Roland threw away all the buttons and thought that we would like a touch screen. It's indeed quite innovative, but keep the buttons next time, I don't like going through 3 pages, to set a general setting. But a touchscreen is fine to me, as long as it well used.

And if I have to pay $3000+ for an arranger one day, I'm quite curious then what it will be. Then I expect a lot of it. Because an arranger looks inside just like a computer. Mainboard, power supply, monitor etc. So you're paying a lot then for the software (OS, styles, development and more.)

Anyway, still enjoying the VA-7 here, no problems when live
