I have a g70 and no need for a Mp3 player. I'm just interested in the styles.

Makes you wonder what they would tell someone with an ailing relative, doesn't it?


Thanks Diki for the clarification, appreciate it.
Yes it does make you wonder what news relatives would get LOL.

I can't imagine Roland not directing their new Fantom G Sound engine into an arranger keyboard. Speculation that development is on hold is just a ruse.

The rumours that have been spreading about that Roland are suspending arranger development, actually started early last year, and only related to the G series, NOT to any other Existing or NEW series.

And they remain that... simply rumors. Although these started at the start of last year, Roland have made no official communication about this matter.

And, if you think about it, were it true, Roland would stand to gain sales if announced, as die-hard Roland users rush to buy the last G-series before they are all gone...

Once again, the cow-chips get in the rumor mill....
