Hey cutey...I've seen you squabble over less rubbish.

Pull in your little horns before they get caught in something...you're frightening the children, especially Genny.

You said it yourself, Roland had no low end arrangers to support the high and mid if sales (or the economy) fluctuated.

They were caught, like many other companies, without being prepared.

If we are to believe Mr. Fran, and why wouldn't we since he is the Roland guru on SZ (even higher than you, maybe?), then the good ship Roland will nail another TOTL arranger to the mast, and all will be hunky dory.

Let's hope so...what they are producing right now wouldn't be too useful to pro players like you and Fran, unless you're going in the Karaoke business.

I'd love to see another Roland arranger flagship, dripping with new sounds and features, and sporting a lighter chassis and streamlined cabinet...competition is healthy, and all of us benefit, no matter what T-shirt we wear.

Ian

PS...I hope you're gettin' lots of work.
