Yeah it will be interesting to see George. Apparently the rationale behind it is that as Roland are now dominating (by a long way I am told) the piano market, particularly home, and to a lesser extent the RD series and the super duper modelled one, that they wanted to have a value-added product for those who still wanted some arranger functions to go with their home digital piano.

It totally took me off0guard as well... Not one word of it until this morning....I was just a bit sceptical, but my guy reckons thats what his Roland rep said.

Bear in mind I am in Australia George so it may be a different market Roland are looking at...you know maybe Europe and the R.O.T.W and NOT so much the the US????
