Roland Clan Forums

If Roland will update the 0 series with a competent full sequencer like Fantoms and FA had it, I will join your brigade of owners. I'm occasionally checking is it happening or not.

I had Akai MPX-8, and that thing is a most incompetent peace of gear I ever had. It will produce some noisy scratches by itself at the end of the sample when you play it. Or it will by itself produce a double signal with delay of its own. Nothing helped, although I fully followed the procedure and u...

I think we won't see any new sytnh in foreseeable future until the microchip market is not stabilized.

Very unfortunately, YASE is not anymore offered for sale. I contacted Nexoe and this is what they told me. So, there is no way to buy it.

I am close to buying one MC-307, but I am holding it for a reason; namely, whatever I heard on youtube, shows me that this little machine is full of aggressive sound be it solo or pad, or effects. I am in the mellow Jarre-type sounds. Does it have those types of sounds as well? Cause I did not hear ...

Provided that there will be more EXP's for our FA's, what would you wish for? My pick is Jean-Michele Jarre collection . I find that these kind of sounds ultimately miss from the FA. Some other choices include EXP completely dedicated to: high quality choir sounds, vocal phrases and solo's (some on ...

I still didn't find any satisfactory wind sound online. :(

Thank you both for ideas.

I do not have anymore my old boards, a real shame that I sold them. I already tried some online wav files, but never found anything so clean and sublime like that patch.

I was very sad to realize that my FA-06 has no acceptable wind sound, not even on the SRX cards. On the old SR-JV80 "Vintage Synth" card, there was one excellent, sublime, low pitch, no overblown sound:

243 (D73) Deep Wind

Is there some solution to get that sound to my FA-06?

The practical question is: do the patches from SR-JV80 expansion boards sound the same in JV-880 as in JV-1080 in performance mode, disregarding the DAC's? More practically, do they use any insert effect at all? Which would make them sound the same in patch mode as much as in performance mode.

That is both brilliant, and awful. Brilliant because it used to be so frustrating trying to fit a large bunch of patches into a performance with only 3 MFX slots. I used to dream of the day when there'd be a dedicated FX engine for every part. So, that's great. But it's also awful because some soun...

So the situation is this: you are setting up the multi, using 16 channels for sequencing, and you are stacking the sounds, applying them each to a different midi channel. The question is: does the MFX effect gets copied too with every sound (part) to the multi setup, or you have to manually adjust i...

I think that in 5-7 years there will be no functional displays commonly shared by JD-880, XP-80, XV-5080, MC-80 (among others), because they are not available new, as a spare, or as serviced. I made an exhaustive research, and even came to the part number (from XP-80 service manual), which is: 15029...

Fantom G is the only top level workstation that can transfer part to the performance without loosing the effect and other parameters. Also, it has the most ample provision of Sample RAM. Others are not there yet, not even with their flagships after the Fantom G.

Only a service can tell, but my prognosis is main board failure.
