As I've said many times, I am in no rush for a new Roland. Mine is working fine, makes me money, and there is nothing available that is better across the board, at any price.

Sure other arrangers got stuff the Roland doesn't have. And the Roland has a lot of VERY important stuff (to me, at least!) that they still have yet to develop. No point making a change if it is a push...

Whatever OS problems are left I can work around, and nobody on any other arranger wants me to come over to their camp, buy a Yamaha or Korg or Ketron and start talking about all the things that are wrong with THEIR arranger! If they want to keep the shortcomings secret, fine by me

I have so many translations and third party stuff to tweak, new styles will not be a problem for years! (It'll take almost that long to audition them all ). In the meantime, there isn't THAT much coming out new for any other arranger that I consider up to their ROM standards, so it's still a push, for me.

I ALMOST find myself in Ian's shoes... happy enough with what I have got, for now. Mind you, that still doesn't preclude me TALKING about what I would like to see, IF Roland get off their fat arses...
