Hey. I heard that the the Roland G-800 and the g-1000 are really great as well as the E-series. Now i know these are all really old. Has Roland put out any more recent keyboards that would be considered a newer version or upgrade of those???

THANX

The Roland VA 76 was the G1000 replacement. January will be the release of the new series[EXR]. Hopefully they will live up to the true replacement for the G1000, since most feel disapointed in the VA 76....If not , no problem for me, my G1000 keeps on ticking..like the old Timex commercial use to say..I would suggest that if you are looking for a new arranger, sit tight, Roland has enough goodies to build a "Best" keyboard..

The Roland Demonstrator stated to me there will be a new top end arranger 2004.
It appears they have had a pre-production model for a while, but wish to get the final product A1 before launch.

Isn't competition great?? I hope Rolands new Arranger is an eye popping jaw dropping piece of equipment too. If it is, it keeps the other Manufacturers on their toes and in pursuit of an even more innovative cutting edge and technology advanced Keyboard product. With competition we all win. The Companies win, the Assembling Countries Win, the Retailers win, the Consumer's win, and the eventual owners of the new Keyboards win also by way of $$$ saved - "competitive pricing" and by the fact the Keyboard they buy is a highly sophisticated and technologically advanced quality piece of musical equipment. Go Roland!!!

Best regards,
Mike

HI !

ROLAND is out of the market of the top arrenger, that what I think .

there is no money in top arrangers , because not many people use them and buy them as it was in the past.

I hope I'm wrong

Elastic Xanax Retractable.

Seriously though I think it means: EX-tended Range.
