Rumors of the lack of a G70 replacement are just rumors...but Roland has neither confirmed or denied them at this point.

Also, if you read some of the posts at Roland Arranger forum, it seems that Roland's fixes for the G70's OS have stopped.

Remind you of the PSR-9000 pro situation?

Maybe there will be a new high end E-series with 76 keys instead of a G70 replacement?

Ian,
"On October 1, 2004 Roland will be unveiling a new 76 key "top of the line" arranger keyboard." (a notable quote from the past from this forum). This means that the G70 has been around just three years. If it is being withdrawn now, (or has been placed on the slippery slide to oblivion) then that is not a really satisfactory (business wise) outcome for such a corporate investment, not to mention a good result for the fraternity that have made the considerable investment in dollars, time and patience, to get proficient with this board. One would hope that the rumors of its demise is a misquote or a poor interpretation of some statement, and that the G70 still has some life in the ol’girl yet. I guess we can all be victims of the corporations if we choose to make that choice. At the end of day Ian, we live in hope.
