Roland Clan Forums

What are opinions on whether Roland will release a firmware update for the RD-88 to allow the USB A port to be a "USB Host" port? IE, so that a user can attach a second keyboard and play the sounds on the RD-88. Yamaha, Kurzweil and ( I think) Korg can do this. Simply hook up the controlle...

I have been playing around with this for a while now, and while I have followed the instructions and tried to set it accordingly I still cannot get expected operation from it. I can get wav files in okay etc, but where I am falling down is in the setting of the correct numbers for alternate sounds, ...

Has anyone found a studio set for David Bowie's Heroes?

I have just bought a Roland SPD::ONE WAV - and I am having difficulty in getting imported wav files to sound. I exported the wav from Audacity at the recommended 44khz/16bit format. A short (three second) one shot sample. I checked the advanced.txt file I edited for the new wav against the factory a...

On the DS-88, can a particular Performance be recalled via MIDI?

Thanks

No the consumer division handles all the PSR and Tyros series, Pro division is the synths and audio gear etc...

MOXF is Yamaha Pro divison (not consumer)

I do the same with splits - on one keyboard ;-

well I play live left hand bass, right hand keys/guitar/synth parts and also have a audio drum backing track (where needed - I also use foot "stomp-boxes" for simple kick and snare backing) I really cannot see how one can concurrently play five parts at once ;-) AFAIK, Garageband (for exam...

with some apps - although who uses 16 tracks in one song?

Well you guys are welcome to it - I get better sounding EP's and AcPianos on my iPad as Quinnx said...so I am away from all these issues now as I have just sold it. Waste of time and money.

Good luck with yours.

All you can load to the FA is two so I wouldn't get too excited :)

Yes Yamaha have, as have Korg and Roland. And I did say upgrade not just "revisions"

And anyone who says a white motif looks awesome really has some issues.

The OS in the FA has shortcomings and bugs so perhaps you should read a few threads here before jumping on your soapbox ;-)

TBH, I was not really looking for a new bit of gear, more an upgrade for the OS on the FA series which has some rather glaring omissions/bugs. But I think Roland have adopted the Yamaha (consumer) philosophy of improving firmware/OS only with a new release hardware device. Forcing people to buy new ...

Sorry to keep raining on the parade, but the samples are fixed for the SN EP's - apart from effects and EQ not much else can be done. It is one of my main issues with the SN EP's. how NON-tweakable they are! I am annoyed by the amount of "bell" and over the top tine effects in pretty much ...
