Well, they seem to care what accordion players want!

My hope is that, now someone ELSE has brought out a Chord Sequencer/Looper, they might view not having the feature a 'point' against them, and reintroduce it. While no-one else HAD, it never really counted against them, and it seemed that only a tiny fraction of users ever 'got' the feature and used it much. I certainly don't remember a collective howl of disapproval when it got dropped on the first V-series. Mind you, that's about the time that Roland started to lose their market share to Yamaha, too, so there was MUCH else on their minds at the time, I imagine!

But if the feature finds favor amongst Korg users, maybe Roland will reconsider. Only issue is, it needs dedicated buttons. I doubt we'll see one as a software update to an existing product. Next year at the earliest, I would imagine...

And Dennis... we all know now that the Korg appearance at NAMM was just a 'sneak peek' at an unfinished, unfinalized product. Don't get too worked up about specs. Musikmesse will probably fill in all the blanks for you. One thing I GUARANTEE. It will not satisfy you! Nothing ever will...

It will address SOME of your problems, and not others. It will have SOME sounds you like and some you don't. It will have some features you always wanted, and many will be missing...

So.... what else is new?!
