This doesn't count as a tech issue, but Roland's tech support
was essentially a call center when I contacted them.  When I
asked if there was a list for possible bugs or feature
requests, I was flatly told that those weren't handled by
anyone in Roland US, and that there was no way to contact
instrument developers in Japan.

That sort of thing happens when the company is big and
focused on shifting units.  Buying a new V-Synth is like
buying a 1600 dollar cell phone, rather than an instrument.
