I'm actually GLAD there is very little new product...!

Now we can concentrate on mastering what we have got, rather than wishing for a 'quick fix' of new technology, which rarely turns out to be either quick, OR a fix! I'd rather be in COMPLETE control of an 'older' arranger, than struggling to come to grips with whatever is the 'latest, greatest'.

Unless Roland reintroduce the Chord Sequencer, I'm pretty sure I can skip at least two more product cycles before even feeling a twinge of gear-lust (at least for a primary arranger). If you count the G70's OS3 as a 'new' arranger (which it virtually IS, with all the new features and fix for the sound and the OTSs) then the G70 is only a few months old! Long in the tooth....? I think NOT.....
