This was known in January this year Fran, when Roland were still considering a replacement.. But according to Roland Australia through their rep, nothing this year.

The GW-8, and maybe some further upgrades to the E-80 at Winter NAMM, but thats about it.

But if Roland go to historical form, when they go into these really quiet stages of development they usually end it with a machine that absolutley blows everything away.

So I reckon in about 12-18 months we will see something pretty stunning, along the lines of the Audya.

I think they pulled the pin because they found some of the issues that are still dogging Ketron. But of course, this is only speculation on my part, but it does make sense...... to me
