Robbo I hope your right.....or maybe Roland is taking another direction more toward Synths and gadgets instead of Arrangers, although I just don't see how Roland could offer something better then Yamaha T4 & KORG Pa3x, & Audya, at this time the niche is getting smaller year after year for someone to fit in.
Maybe a micro G..? lol
time will tell hang in there !
Roland allways used to be the company to think out of the box. This time they only need to think in their own box.
-Combining the matrix view from Cakewalk with arranger capabillities and you have the ultimate arranger with both midi and audio styles.
-Using their current sound engines from Jupiter 80, Fantom and V-piano they will have a better sounding arranger then all others together.
-Adding all the good things we remember from the G70.
And as usuall Roland will deliver the best User interface with a huge touchscreen, and free asinable sliders, buttons and knobs.
Since all the things described above are allready developed in software (yes for the last 10 years every synthworkstation or arranger uses dedicated software as their soundsource), there is not much researchcosts required to build them intoo one instrument. And processor power has never been so cheep as of lately.
add 76 keys and this will blow all other arrangers away... both on possibilities as on sound quallity.
