btw Harold where did you read this?..
Rumors are floating about the New Roland TOTL arranger coming soon.
Personally I will be in PRe order mode sight unseen if it actually happens....
There are still plenty of EA7 units around the world to buy.

My opinion... Not a chance smile

Consider this the "old" model BK5 is still in production.

The E-A7 is the best seller Roland has , and worldwide was the top arranger in sales..

No other Roland arranger has as many features.

If we see anything it will be the line expanded to include higher end arrangers..

The E-A7 is the best bang for the buck today wink

I'm beginning to wonder what more can they add to the technology we already have? All these auto arrangers are offering amazing tools for the creative process. I'm always interested in what the instrument manufacturers are coming up with. I love it.

Hi Harold,
What’s to be sorry about? You obviously heard a rumour, who better to ask if it may be true, than here on the forum.

You are correct...The G70 screen is excellent...10 years ago and today! Would the G-70 keys be the same length as the Yamaha P-125 and a acoustic Piano?

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. As I see it at least in Russia, people mostly buy keyboards like PSR-S670 or cheaper. So what's the point of producing new items of a keyboard, which doesn't sell well?

While I respect E-A7 for being designed for professional use, as I respect musicians making this choice, personally I still find it really hard to justify choosing it over S670 which is half the price.
