The same goes for V-synth GT! A fabulous synth but without VST implementation! Actually this is the only reason that keeps me to not buy Rolands synths! SO PITY!!!!

If you've got a good keyboard, you probably have decent brass sounds. With the VP-550 at well over $1000 (street), I'm sure this VP-770 will be upwards of $1400 or more. Now, let me qualify & say that I haven't heard one, nor am I certain of pricing, so I can't really comment fully on this product yet. But I always thought the VP-550 was over-priced. Maybe with the advancements in software and computer interactivity on a live stage, Roland will figure out a way to give more bang for the buck for those of us simply looking for good harmony vocals during a live gig. Most of us don't need another keyboard rig (as the poster Sotiris has already stated!) Being a project studio owner and a live performer, this would be a good product, however in the studio unnecessary with the advent of great apps such as Melodyne & Anteres.

A keyboardless rack version, or, better, a VSTi software version would be fantastic! This is really great, but i don’t need another (hardware) keyboard.
