So, which grapevine to believe?

The rumor mill grinds on... This one sounds like Roland are going to roll a few more FantomX features (it can do synchronized audio loops already) into the next G-series, and a new Atelier organ is touting some SA-like voices, so this looks like another possible improvement (however, from the demos, they have a LONG way to go on this one).

I know which rumor I would LIKE to believe in! Only time will tell.

But I still find myself dreading what well-loved (if not essential!) features Roland are likely to DROP, rather than which new ones they are likely to add... The list keeps getting longer.
