I was thinking about this at work today. I wonder how well it will stack up the Triton. I personally have a Trinity, and dont own any Roland products but my friends do, and I like the roland sound alot. I may just get a xv3080, but I was thinking what can roland do to one up Korg? I mean do you think it will be like the 3080 or 5080 and offer sample play back? How many expansion cards ( the XV88 has a mere 4???? why ). Do you think they may go the touch screen route? Both roland and yamaha have new keyboards with touch screen's coming.

Another thing I started to think about was the fact that if the XV60/80 is more like the 5080 then how much will they charge for one? I mean the 5080 us gonna be $2000, and the Xv88 is $2500.

It's going to be interesting to see what roland comes up with to compete against the Triton. Maybe some kind of option like the new Vp 9000 ( I doubt that because of the expensive price of just a rack unit vP 9000 ) some kind of add on board ( like the moss Korg has ) maybe a Jp 8000?

Any ideas or thoughts of what they can do to be one top?
