Yep, the technology itself has been around a while...I used a D-70 in a friend's studio for several months, it was midi'd to a D-550 module (awesome!), which had a PG1000 programmer...we had a ball...the sky was the limit.


The beauty of Yamaha's SA voices are they are under the player's control whilst playing "live".

If these new "SuperNatural" voices from Roland, I saw only drums and Electric Pianos, are made to include Guitars and other instruments, and there's no reason why they shouldn't, I'd say if the new G-series incorporates this technology, it will be quite an instrument.

Since the T3 will be only 5 octaves, Roland will have no competition in the 76 note arranger field as Korg have nothing resembling either SA or SuperNatural voices as of yet.
