Unless someone has some reall inside information, I'm afraid Ian's prediction may be more the case than the exception. Roland has been arranger-silent for quite some time now and nothing in their inventories suggests a move to create or bolster an arranger. The department which handled the G and E series did a f@#$-up job in promotion here in the US. It wouldn't surprise me if Roland stayed out of the arranger market until the general economy improved enough to support the R&D.
