Yeah, now I'm sitting with my new G70 I'm starting to find a few of the gotchas! The G1000 got many things right in the user friendly section, but the HUGE leap in sound quality makes the move a necessity.

I REALLY hope Roland Europe are trolling these forums, so much feedback from people actually trying to USE their creation live, I hope they take some notice.

I mean, what on earth were they doing taking off the Chord sequencer from the VA series onwards? And why didn't everyone raise enough of a stink to get it back? Doesn't ANYONE like to play with the pitch-bend lever? How on earth can you use it if you constantly have to keep your left hand playing the chord-recognition area?

I'm afraid I never even got to SEE a VA7 or '76 in my area, and never saw the point in the Varios audio stuff, but, geez!, how did the chord sequencer get away from them?

So c'mon, Roland, let's FIX what can be fixed with OS updates, and then let's revisit the whole control issue in the next model, put back the best of previous models alongside the new improvements.
