My only hope lies with the proposed 76 key Roland to be released.. It would have to have the features of the G70 (and BK9) and a large selection of Super Natural sounds..

I liked the E-A7, but it needed some improvements like 76 keys, touch screen, aftertouch, sequencer, and vocal harmonizer... bringing us back to a new Roland offering..

Well Fran was right about the BK9 rumor so I tend to belive his sources. BUT I hope the new Roland weights 60lbs., costs 6 K, and has nothing but Oriental Styles so I won't be tempted. I thought the G1000 was my forever board and then the BK9 came along so I'm done !!
Just spent 3 days going thru and editing all my Styles because of the different response of my new sound system. Next is editing all my SMFs. I just hate to start over again.
