Roland's new workstation incorporates all the goodies.A 76 key with initial and aftertouch. It has semi weighted "waterfall" keys..It has interchangable synth modules [boards] including a VK8 to utilize the 9 drawbars.Also additional modules available. The unit will hold 4 different synth modules, as well as 6 SRX series expansion boards..Polyphony, full for organ and 256 for synth.The new arranger section has a total of 16 parts, 3 endings ,3 intros, 4 fills and 6 variations..Morphing feature is in place,as is the chord sequencer from the G series..The new harmonizer is also standard..The newly developed SMF features of the DisCover series is also incorporated..The unit has stereo outs plus 6 separate outs for keyboard and a pair of stereo outs for vocal/harmonizer, a new idea, a sample and hold function, in real time you can sing a phrase and use it as a arranger part starting with the downbeat of the next measure when you desire, keyed to the chord change.. The unit has a 64 meg sampler [standard, and can be upgraded to 512]..The storage media is twin 512 Smart media[1028]. The big surprize is the 16 track[128 virtual]digital on board recorder complete with CDRW[MP3 player/recorder] drive..Besides the twin insert effects[140 each] you have access to cosm effects[2 effect units]..The weight will be around 44 lbs, not bad for all the goodies..Another feature, although the unit has no speakers,it does have a built in 100 watt stereo amp with a seperate sub woofer and stereo outs..You can attach any combination of 8 ohm speakers. On board EQ ..Almost forgot the Drawbars also doulble as volume and data controls for the arranger section.What,What who woke me up,,darn just a dream..Roland you listening?

LOL. Fran you had me going right to the last sentence. As I was reading, I thought to myself, I will not be able to afford this very expensive dream machine. You would like to have watefall keys as well, eh.

This would have been priced above the Tyros, possibly even more then the PA-X.
I won't have to figure out how I can afford it.

I don't want the built-in recorder or burner,but the above arranger section along with the expansion boards would be sweet.

If ROLAND came out with a synth like that... people WILL buy it. Yes, think of how many people have more than one synths? they will just buy 1 instead of 3 different synths.
