The G70 is still listed in Roland US lineup, although they only mention OS Ver.2 upgrade and nothing about OS3.01.
It must be current because the Prelude is there.
Lots of layoffs at Roland in Italy, where I believe the arrangers are made, so maybe they will try and compete in the lower priced home arranger market (the Prelude and GW-8 being the first attempt)..let the high end model's features trickle down like Yamaha does...certainly more profit in the long run...only thing is, they are a little late getting there, as it is pretty well dominated by Casio and Yamaha at present.
I would love to see another G-series, as competition always improves the breed...only time will tell if Roland feels it is a feasible venture.
