You can go back and look at any publication Roland produced ..


Hi Fran
You are probably right in the US, but in pretty much the rest of the world the G series (Like all arrangers) was marketed to the home user.
Thinking back, if I remember correctly, you did mention in a post some time ago that the G70 was first launched and marketed by the Pro division, but sales were that poor (Apparently the demonstrators didn’t know what to do with it) that they eventually passed it over to the ordinary division.
Whichever way, from what I remember, the G70 sales took off as soon as they stopped trying to market it as a pro instrument.
I am not sure about the last couple of points (Memory has a habit of distorting things) but the first part is correct.
Regards

Bill
