I listened from Roland Brasil.
VA 76, discontinued.
NO brandnew arrangers in 2004.
EXR3/5 since last december are the unique models in market.
News? We must wait 2005.

Why????

No new Roland arranger in 2004?

Then, Roland has only an arranger: EXR-5/3, and it is entry level.

So, there aren't mid range or high range Roland arrangers.

How is it possible?

What Roland players must do now? To buy an old and used kb, or to buy a new EXR-5 (which don't let modify styles...).

Bad times for Roland fans, and for arrangers fans. Because Technics is out: it is not going to be an alternative yet. And Yamaha is out too (for a lot of people, like me) because its ridiculous and toy-like sub-standard size keys. Then, only Korg rests...

Roland, What are you thinking? Perhaps, when next high range Roland arranger will be in stores, all Roland fans will be playing another (not Roland) kbs. Then, it will be so late for Roland.

Pity, Roland! You could be the best.
