I'm also really interested in this one.  There's a fresh review of the unit
on Harmony Central's effects database.  By far the most extensive info I've
seen is on Roland's Japanese Website.  If you can read Japanese, send us a
translation!

>From what I can gather, it would seem the VF-1 outdoes not only the
SE50/70, but the GX-700 as well, and therefore should raise a lot of
interest here.  Proof will be from hands-on, and I'm trying to find one
now.  Neither Manny's (NYC) nor Musician's Friend has them yet.  Palm Beach
Music (www.pbmusic.com) lists the best price I've seen--$359--but I doubt
they have any, either.  When I get hold of one I'll forward info....
