I talked extensively with Roland... unfortunately, there's no hard and fast 'step by step' that reproduces the problem, so they are unwilling to put man hours on it until it can be shown to be a real 'bug'. It now has happened to me twice in the four years I have had my G70, so hardly a common error, I guess. Others have anecdotally had the same problem, but again with insufficient common circumstances to make tracking it down easy.

So I have gotten into the habit of backing up on an hourly basis (depending on how fast I'm working) which is hardly onerous. Problem (sort of) solved...

I have also decided to wait until the house gig is a lock (in these times, it pays to wait - it's a brand new club) before I get my backup. I've been using my current one on doubles long enough. A while more won't hurt.

In the meantime, all you rampant speculators and nabobs of prescience, Musikmesse is right round the corner. Maybe Roland has got some goodies for you all? Maybe an S950 to tempt Ian? Maybe some more DNC sounds for the PA2/PA800? Maybe some more fills? Maybe Dom's 61 X-Series? Or ALL chords in audio on an updated Audya?

Seems pretty quiet around here under the circumstances...
