Well, it's a LOT more likely with that feature implemented correctly (AJ, message me if you want any insights into how it ought to work!). It's still a lot more money than I can spare, right now, and I STILL am unwilling to buy one without trying it, and there isn't a dealer within hundreds of miles from me, so it still looks unlikely for now. But that one feature changes EVERYTHING.

I play trombone, and at the moment, the ONLY way I can play it with my arranger is to use SMF's. I'd like to go back to how I played when I had the G1000... but Roland have dropped the ball (best feature they EVER had all to themselves).

Someone else wants to pick it back up, I'm going to have to seriously consider it for my NEXT arranger...
