Hey.. SynthZoners...

After a great breakfast this morning Fran and I were in a Sam Ash Music store today...and we ran into Ed Diaz, the Roland Demo representitive who you might have seen on many of the NAMM show demo videos for Roland products like the G70 Etc...
He was very interested in our thoughts & opinions on Roland arrangers….we also discussed features that we would like to see incorporated again in new models like the G1000 Chord Sequencer, VA Style Morphing, User defined D-beam, adding Voc processor inputs to the E series, etc…. and there WILL be another top model G series soon just be patient they want to get it right is all we can say. He also hopes to have a User suggestion forum on the Roland site soon also. He’s a real nice guy….
We chatted for about an hour, and invited him to join us on SZ...

Paesani Donny and Francesco,
What did he say about a new G-series module? Oh man, you probably forgot to ask him.
Ciao,
Jerry

Jerry a module question eluded us at that time probably because we don't have a need for them sorry, but we did asked allot of other questions of which he could only answer & reveal certain things at this particular time.
I'm sure there will be more to come in due time from Roland..

Hey I am not worried, they will screw it up as usual! And, the user participation thing has been going on forever, but will not happen as usual!

If Roland are looking for accurate feedback and suggestions for what actual G-series owners want to see in a future arranger, they need look no further than the New Features Forum at Roland-Arranger.com...

About four years worth of wishes and improvements. Just for ONCE, wouldn't it be great if they actualy listened to what their players actually WANT, rather than give us what they THINK we want...?

Diki Ed knew of the Roland arranger forum also he's just the messenger.
At least we made suggestions, he took notes & said he would pass it on. R&D is years in advance with design ideas before the actual building stage & release.

Yeah..., that's what happens Diki when you get a company who lets non-musicians make decsions for muscians It's not just Roland though. All the top companies have suits who get final say on some features. Rather than listen to musicians the suits get the last word on some features that will or will not be included.
