Roland Clan Forums

With their terrible track record of firmware updates and bug fixes on the current Boutiques, I couldn't care less what they come out with. I am done with Roland and their new releases.

I have no idea about this particular synth, but it sounds like it only has 4 note polyphony and there will be no way around that, if that is the case.

Yup, exactly. The same thing happened with me and a report I put in for the TR-06, which contains no SOLO functionality. I inquired about the TR-06 containing no solo functionality, as I was under the impression that it would work the same as it does for the TR-08 and TR-09. The exact same key funct...

This is a great observation and your methodology makes perfect sense on why you would want this to work, the way you expect. This is exactly how I would want to use it too.

And here we are, 7 months later. It has been quite some time since I checked, so decided to have a look for a firmware update and nope, still 1.02 for the past 18 months.

I agree. There never really has been an update since release. I think only one release came out and nothing since. Roland are always terrible for firmware updates. There is a bug in the JD-08 for 1.5 years now, that still isn't fixed. Roland is all about making 'new money', not giving to those that ...

I still have my hardware 707, but would love a Boutique version, with the 727 included. The 707 is really big and bulky and I always wanted a 727, but won't pay $800, like they are being asked for now. both in one, with a smaller footprint, would be awesome. Being that this is all digital, it would ...

Yes, that was a concept design from Stormchild, a Japanese user. It really is quite a nice mock up and he is a really good guy to talk with.

I can't believe this synth has been out for a year now and this still hasn't been fixed. Very lame.

It adds a chorus effect, of two different flavours to your sound. It is the same effect that gave the original Juno 106 its iconic sound. Play a pad sound and enable those to hear the magic!

This! I have an OG 707, but it is quite large, so a smaller form factor, would be great. I have always wanted a 727 as well. Both in one, would be FANTASTIC!

Both are just samples, so it should be pretty easy to pull off, while sounding genuinely legit.

This is annoying. Same thing on the JD-08. I really wish it would boot to the last used patch. I love this on my older Romplers, coming right back to where I left off, for quick and easy loading.

If this could be made possible, I would be quite pleased.

I just wrote Roland about the issue where there is an initialized type sound on MIDI channels 4 & 5 that you cannot access nor turn off. It is annoying while trying tho integrate the JD-08 with my other hardware MIDI devices. It really seems like the JD-08 is half-baked in that area. Thank you ...

I have gone the route of plugging in all my Boutique/USB powered synths, through a passive DI, to fix all my noise problems. The Radial JDI Stereo/Duplex is what I would recommend. They take the unbalanced outputs of the synths and change them into mic level/balanced outputs, with a little warmth fr...
