I'd hope for an update for FM8 that gets rid of the old bugs and the new bugs (introduced with 1.4, which causes me to use 1.3), and in addition adds new functionality.

The first old school analog that's doesn't cost a car... I hope scientists at Yamaha Lab's find a new technology for new synths, so the price of old school ones drops. Like in the early nineties.

there are actually quite a few rumors going around that Roland is announcing a "Jupiter" at the Winter NAMM in California (january)

I am going so I will def. post something on here if it turns out to be true :) Although a) i doubt it and b) even if they do I doubt it will live up to its name..

I guess considering the last two times they implied a new synth could be interpreted as a 'new Jupiter' (JP-8000 and JD-800) we got two pretty great products, even falling short of the JP-8 mark could be good for us.
