Just like the G70, Frank, I have a feeling that some issues CAN be fixed by software, and some issues cannot.

What has frustrated me with Roland is that some of the easily fixed software issues never got fixed, while at the same time, several new features got added that have little impact on how good an arranger it is (Guitar Mode is a joke compared to Korg - it's not usable in style Mode) nd have monopolized their R&D efforts.

Personally, I have had a far less drastic response to the G70 OS upgrades. Sure, they are very welcome, but because I like to tweak all my styles anyway, waiting until OS3's per Part EQ and the revoicing of the styles wasn't really necessary for me. And all of the Makeup Tools and style editing tools were there from Day1 (rather than some indeterminate time in the future with the Audya), I was able to get a very quick grasp on whether this thing was going to work for me or not.
