One sure thing its a break from discussing Yamaha for a change.
Although I use a Yammy keyboard at present it will be a bonus for me not to give Yamaha my money again.
I recently had a friends VA76 for 2 weeks on loan whilst he was on holiday. The board and build quality were excellent.
The Roland demonstrator told me in the new arranger was sometime this year. He stated in April that they wanted to sit on it until they were fully happy with it. They did not want to launch it and then buyers finding bugs...they wanted it right from day 1. Its a pity other manufacturers don't have the same morels.
