Korg will continue the repackaged PA series, and people will buy it.. and their high end workstation will continue with the same features..

Roland has more money making lines than anyone.. Fantom will dominate,

Their effects, replicate keyboards, digital pianos will continue to be big,, And the inexpensive EA7 will line their pockets...so they don't need a new top model arranger (PS: it is in the making) smile


Like I said... wait for what?

Donny pick any of the keyboards you have tried... stay with it and learn the dang thing... then maybe you will find what you are looking for grin


Fran a very grim, picture indeed you have painted. It might be the only way to go in the end.... But for now, I would think waiting a few months to see what turns up is a prudent choice for now.
My Novation Launchkey MKIII keyboard controller &
Mixcraft pro9 DAW is more then enough to keep me busy
and interested in musical creation projects for now.
I've went the synth workstation route a few times
but it always left me yearning for my arranger kb.
Too much work and doesn't for fill my heart and desire
to play as an arranger does. I look forward one more time to see the next generation on arrangers and hopefully will
get excited enough to give it a go again with one of them.
I wish I could be like you with your never ending love affair with your Roland G70....when I bought mine as you know I was doing
a super busy gig schedule years ago and the weight and size
was a deterrent for me not the sound, navigation, styles,
features etc,. I did however always enjoyed playing it
and quite honestly if one passed my way again in mint condition at the right price I would possibly give it another chance in my current situation in my home studio. But they are almost impossible to come by as you well know. Anyway wait and see is the recipe for now.

Stay safe
