Roland Clan Forums

Sampler section sucks, it's based on the SP404SX, no multisampling capabilities on these.

I noticed Secret Roland Agent is taking a hands-off approach and as usual Dan Kirsher and Roland staff in general are also mum regarding any new products. http://www.piaknow.com/Tom/hell-freezes-over.jpg There will be a new Roland workstation when . . . well . . . you know . . . More BS from Roland...

Roland are the dumbest when it comes to explaining their past products, ie: the Jupiter-8. So in one of the videos, the Roland engineer, says the story was, that the original Jupiter-8 was a deemed a failure because it could not reproduce acoustic sounds. So that means every analogue synth and drum ...

A lot of musicians out there still prefer to use a seperate synth, sequencer and drum machine. Workstations are for ones who like to do everything under one roof as in ITB on a DAW/PC.

The JP-80 should have been called Fantom V or the V80-GT.

it sounds quite obvious to us that you intend to sleep with it then, a substitute sex doll perhaps?

$3000
why would anyone purchase one instead of getting an ebay G or Kronos for less????

It's not going to cost $3000 USD. It's going to cost 3000 euros. If you live in the USA it will cost you $4,266.
I wouldn't buy any of them tbh.

It needs to be £1000 or less than it will cost for Roland to sell a lot. £2589.00 is what it will cost in the UK, and $4,266 in the US.

He says in video, expected release will be around august and the cost is 3000 euro, or £2620 GBP or $4,266 USD.

Tbh, if you take all the fancy colours away it would look exactly like a Fantom.

hoodenclaw represents exactly my point: nothing more then someone here to trash Roland. Let me clue you on some real world ethics: I moderate a forum for a type of rather expensive luxury car. In that forum you can complain about the latest model, whine about features but you cannot bash the compan...

Our take is that whoever did this is no less a thief than if they'd smashed a window to get in. We're still trying to determine whether we left the back door open or someone broke a window, so to speak, but stealing is stealing. Then Mr Fortner, i suggest you start investigating your own staff on t...

Artemiy, do you think i should also tell what was made in the Roland US R&D dept during the JP-80's development? But was shelved, because Roland in Japan said no!! Do tell! 1) No, because you wouldn't believe me, and 2) you wouldn't be interested in what they were. and... Roland in the Future h...

Here you go, the Jupiter-80 in all it's V-Synth clone-alike glory, yawn!!

It would be interesting to see if the Fantom was patented as a synthesizer.
