Is it just me or has Roland stuck it to us again?? I went thru this when I bought a vs daw recorder, and now this synth issue..

I demoed the rs-9 today and found it far, far superior to my xp-30, which isnt even two years old...88 keys, better sampled instruments, great drums...all for LESS than what I bought my xp-30 brand new....

even the rs-5 isnt a bad deal for a 61 key synth...

Sure you get more patches and expansion board capability with the xp-30, but the rs-9 with its 500 or so patches seems like more than enough...I like the way it seems like the "best of" ...

I'm ready to dump my xp-30 on ebay and pick up the rs-9...of course, who knows how soon it will be before the rs9 is obsolete..

any thoughts.??
