I would be really happy if Roland would finally correct the obvious mistakes in the project of the G-70, and do what they are apparently doing now with the E-80: adding more SRX slots, more effects and new styles.
Also, why did they implement in OS 2.0 the wav. sync function, deciding that this function should work only with waveforms found in the SR-G01 card? And finally, why not make the G-70 a real master keyboard, adding the ability to send bank and program change numbers and also to control parameters like volume, pan, etc for each zone (two lower and three upper)?
With the exception of the SRX slots, all the other changes could be done via a software update, so I wonder: what are they waiting?
P.S.: even if I presently own a Tyros 2, I think that competition is a very good thing; if the other brands (like Roland, Korg or Ketron) wouldn't develop new and better products, Yamaha would sit tight and never feel the need to introduce better products as well...
