> I look at Roland today as the Gen-X Harley-Davidson: Selling nostalgia gear to aging dudes hitting their mid-life crisis. So true, and it huuurts. :D However, one very valid selling point for gear (old or new) is that it is still, by far, a better user/musical experience than software emulation, even with multiple innovative controllers. Either because a screen lack multiple physical points of control, or because software/plugins rights managements are _always_ getting in the way. Of course, only if you do something with it and it doesn't pile up in a too small room.
