Sorry but it seems you don't know Roland history. I may understand (well I actually don't but I'll leave that for now) your frustation but minimizing all other great electronic instruments, from pianos to drums/percussion, effects, guitar synthesizers, Roland has been pioneer of and built over the years and call it a "synthesizer company" it's just seeing a small part of what Roland is.

You don't know the history of Roland. The synth market represents a non-major portion of Roland's businesses. Roland (Boss) is a major force in the guitar/bass effect market, which is infinitely bigger than the whole synth market. Roland dominates the electronic drum market, too.

At this stage why should roland even be little more than a bad memory..
The G is where it is now and it is its owners that will make it shine from here on it. not Roland.
Maybe they will release a new workstation sometime maybe they wont, the world of music dont just revolv around roland.
Any ways.. we should already know what to expect if they do release another one a its not going to be very exciting i can guarantee it.
I mean.. look at the original fantom and then look at the G..
How many years did it take to get to this?
and its still yesterdays technology.
But hey we all need a laugh sometimes so lets watch the next music launch show and summer namm and next winter namm and... Yawwn....Zzzzzzz

We might as well prolong this thread now that Musikmesse is coming up.

With Roland's 40th birthday happening on April 18th I DO expect that they will try to make a bigger splash in Frankfurt than at NAMM.
Surely the skilled inventors of the famous Roland countdown clock would not let Roland's birthday party pass by unnoticed...or would they?

I know you secretly love these kinds of discussions, Quinnx, I can read it between the lines of your posts.:)

SonicState features a nice clip about R-mix.
Not a workstation, but software featuring variphrase technology.
At $199 I think that's a lot of 'bang for the buck'.

It really makes me wish that Roland will implement Variphrase-tech in a next-gen workstation, Fantom-V or V-station or whatever they are going to call it.
