My post was hidden on the Tonverk thread so I want to post it here where it is more “appropriate”:
The SP-404 MKII has been receiving significant updates. The MC-101 received a huge update that opened up all synth parameters to be edited from the hardware. The SH-4D recently received a great update improving the sequencer. I wouldn’t discount Roland as this is a milestone machine for them imo that I think is proving to be a success.
