RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
The RD-700NX was released in September 2010, so I'm wondering if we should expect a replacement model this year. Looking at the history of the SX, GX, and NX, Roland released a new model every 2-3 years. They did just release the v2 upgrade in September, but they released the NX only 9 months after the SN upgrade was released for the GX.
I'm thinking of buying an RD-700NX but I'm wondering if I should wait.
RD-700SX - January 2005
RD-700GX - January 2008
RD-700GX SN upgrade - January 2010
RD-700NX - September 2010
RD-700NX v2 - September 2012

Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
not sure cause the RD700NX is a pretty complete setup for performing musicians so i kind of doubt there will be a replacement anytime soon?
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
I agree, Kenchan, although I do wish it had a complete VK engine like in the Integra-7. It would also be nice if the they offered even more variety in Rhodes and Tines patches.
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
there was a GX-F between GX SN upgrade and NX.
i remember thinking i will wait till the GX-F...then soon after it got canned and replaced with the NX.
NX, if i remember correctly did not release until early spring of 2011 in the US. i bought mine in december 2011.

Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
I think you are right, Kenchan, about when the NX was released. I bought my NX in early June 2011 just after it was released.
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
yah.. would be cool for those that bought the GX-F cause there's probably only a handful of them around. :D makes for a nice collector's item.
kinda like me having a DX11 back in the days. those were very scarce. had 2 typo's on the front panel too, to add a nice touch of exclusivity. lol... Asssignment or something.

Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
Hmmm...I never seem to be able to find these collectors when it comes time to sell my gear.
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
that is true... people usually want the latest and greatest when it comes to electronics...

The OS 2.0 RD700NX update was a nice surprise enhancement to the original RD700NX, it added 50 new presets and more user registrations slots. I almost felt like I got a new RD700NX model.
The Fantom G is out of stock or no longer even listed at some of the big online catalog music vendors. I'm thinking the next generation of RD700 will have technology from the next generation of the Fantom model.
Buy a RD700NX now ..

Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
If the next generation Fantom is due out soon, maybe a new RD700 will follow. Roland recently released the FP-80, replacing the FP-7F.amokaman wrote:The OS 2.0 RD700NX update was a nice surprise enhancement to the original RD700NX, it added 50 new presets and more user registrations slots.

I'd love to buy a RD-700NX now, but if a new model is released within the next 6 months, I'd be kicking myself.
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
I just talked to the man who sold the Rd 700 NX and he told that there will be the new generation coming out in october/novembre... he did not have any details about it and he couldn't tell me the name of it
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
It's always a guessing game as to when these boards will be dropped into the market, MairMarco. I would be very skeptical about the advice you got especially when they have no details.
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
If it's going to be available this year, they will probably announce it on www.rolandconnect.com in September.
Re: RD-700NX Replacement This Year?
Nope, no new pro piano in this month's announcement on Roland Connect, torhus.
