Yep, I noticed you jumped right into the middle of the fray, Diki. Well, here's mud in yer eye! ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) BTW: Fran has a tendency to post the same BS about HIS ROLAND every time a new keyboard comes on the market. If you recall, the G-1000 would never be pried from has aging, gnarled fingers. Hmmmmm! Maybe you were not around back then. Keep on slinging, Gary ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/cool.gif)

Gary, I'm not the one COMPLAINING about it... ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif) And mc... Roland, in the past, never eschewed bringing out a new model in favor of updating the previous one. Only the G70, the last of its' breed (and I'm pretty sure Roland thought of it that way at the time) got the update treatment rather than simply a new model. BTW, v3 came out at the end of 2006, barely a couple of years or so after its' release, HARDLY a substitute for a new model release (those came at more three or four year intervals). And, even if you count ALL the things OS2 & 3 added, they HARDLY substitute in any way for a new model release, being more in the way of fixes for sh*t Roland should have got right in the first place. The only OS thing that Roland added that was completely new was the Guitar Mode, a realtime ONLY feature that had little use except to help prepare SMF's (you can't use it in style mode). Per Part EQ should have been in the basic feature set from the start, IMO... Fortunately, Roland at least had the sense to have an SRX slot on the G70 (wish it had more, though!), so I have been able to add a lot of completely new sounds to it, giving me the effect of an new model, to a certain extent, but it's hardly a substitute for a new model. Even so, I waited about five years before I got them... So my relic has a new lease on life in that sense! (You can put new sounds into a Tyros, too, so don't start up about that being the demise of Roland, Ian!) Korg's product cycle seems pretty much on a par with Yamaha, despite them adding significant features via updates, and they have not gone out of business. I'm afraid that that reason is pretty much debunked as a cause of failure in the market...
