mc... sorry, you'll get an answer from the CIA easier than public communication from Roland. Over at Roland-arranger.com, and prior to that the G7 Users Forum (the main English speaking Roland arranger forums), we got exactly ONE direct communication from a Roland employee in over three YEARS.

And that was to do with a screw-up about upgrade software.

Other than that, zero, nada, zip, zilch...

We need to put these guys in charge of the nation's security. They do a far better job than the leaky CIA and NSA!

If anyone thinks that RolandUS give a rat's arse about the arranger market over here, I'd sure like to hear how you come to this conclusion... OS3 for the G70 has been out well over a year. A VERY significant upgrade. There isn't word one about it on RolandUS's site...

If it weren't for the Europeans, Roland would drop arrangers altogether.
