You? Paranoid? Naaaah!

Of course they are keeping these features till a later model...it's called "marketing strategy"...but thankfully, the instruments that are being made, are not beta versions that the company expects the user to test out, and then update them with the respective OS.

What interests me, is what is Roland holding back on...are they out of the TOTL arranger market altogether, or are they coming out with an all encompassing G-series that has bits of the V-Piano, and features from their synth/workstations?

Then again, what is "new" or, in the wings, that can find it's way on the next TOTL arranger (and no, let's not call it the V-arranger) that will bring Roland into the same area as Korg's DNC, or Yamaha's Mega and SA?

I can't imagine it's the features that Cassp suggested that are on their VIMA instruments...or, perhaps, some of them will get the nod.

Surely, they haven't given up TOTL arrangers...I can't imagine that happening (it would be like McDonald's cutting out their "Big Mac"), but, maybe with the current economic situation, they are "holding back"?

Back in the day, it was Roland that shook everyone out of their daze with the E-series...competition is good for everyone, especially the consumer.

What do you think?
