My prediction - Roland will "roll" with the economy and the market. I'm sure there will at least be a new, upper level E series or similar. The G series will once again go into hibernation until something really BIg comes along. You will see a lot more integration of chord recognition and rhythm looping, maybe even chord sequencing into the sythesizer line. Juno-Di is a look into the future, and so is VIMA - like it or not.

Maybe not for most of us, but there are plenty of keyboardists turning forty and tiring of playing bars every weekend...
