Nope, loved the X but several issues with the G made up my mind against buying and have moved on to more computer based recording methods along with continued use of my expanded fx7. Maybe Ill get the G some day but its unlikely.

Yes, a G6.

For about two weeks, then it went back to the store..

Yes. G6.

I also own the original Fantom and the X6.

Loved it first time I saw it. Then I found out about its bugs/beta state, etc., so I started very seriously considering the M3.

At the end of the day, with bugs and everything, the G6 ended up coming home. It doesn't justify the unfinished state of the product but, for my needs, it already does more than the M3 would.

I also took a (somewhat) deep look at the XS. Like In Living Color's Men on Film would say: "Hated it!" =)

NEVER!!

As soon as Roland steps off this super half baked X and actually makes something totally new, I'll stick with a fully expanded X which in the end will give the exact results.

Mexico, you really hated the XS?? I gave it two snaps in a circle... I mean it didn't deserve the 3 point Zorro snap but still very nice board...

Well, I guess I wouldn't say I "hated" it, but I definitely didn't love it. I was sorta dissapointed when I found out that a ton of the included arpeggios were very, VERY basic (a couple of same-key quarter notes here and there). Maybe I needed more time with it. Maybe not. By the way, all of my first synths were Yamahas: DX100 (little guy!), V50 (still own it), TG55.

3-point zorro snap has not been earned by any board out there. =)

There is a V-Synth GT in my future though soon ...

Yes G6. Decided to keep it as I still think I can make this keyboard into the best platform for live use sometime in the future.

Nope! still with my faithful X7.

Will probably skip a generation before upgrading, but only if new machine has more polyphony and useable INTERNAL drums. In the meantime may add an XS to my X.
