Comments:
I actually purchased this unit back in March and I have still not received it. Yes, it has been on backorder. The reality though is that apparently Roland has not shipped them out. Either they found some bugs or they are really trying to drum up demand. If the latter is the case , it is working.
Update:
finally , got the VG-99, truly an impressive unit. Overall, intuitive but I can tell its going to take sometime to be able to fully maximize its potential. I'll blog about my experiences later.
