Roland Clan Forums

<t>Silver Dragon hit on a good point with asking:<br/> "At what point are people going to be content with what they have, and therefore create their own buzz and excitement?"<br/> <br/> I think if someone already has a Fantom keyboard then they have and will always have an INCREDIBLE music making to...

<t>Not to bash Roland too much (as I actually love most all their products and have a lot of roland gear), but they have really dropped out of the game with the All In One digital recorders as well. <br/> <br/> The VS2480 recorder is still their flagship recorder after all these years, and there's n...

<t>Instead of buying a Boss BR600 why not get a good used Roland VS1880 or VS1824 online from a reputable Ebayer instead?<br/> <br/> The Roland VS series recorders will give you way more flexibility and longer term satisfaction than a Boss BR600, not to mention better quality sound (slightly).<br/> ...

Congrats! Have fun when you get it and enjoy the journey.

Juno G has the better piano, but not sure about electric piano or rhode.

<t>Yeah, just get the Juno G and if you need more sounds, hook the Juno to your computer and get some real high quality sounds. Then you can play through your computer with something like "EastWest" or other software programs that blow most SRX sounds out of the water anyway. (At least for the Orche...

<t>I was debating a similar decision a few months ago. <br/> <br/> Being I already have the Korg TR61 keyboard and also wanted a Fantom X I bought the Fantom XR for $1,100 and popped in 3 SRX cards and now I'm done for a "looooooong time"!<br/> <br/> You could wait until Summer NAMM to see if Roland...

<t>Tolgay;<br/> <br/> Why don't you do this. Figure out what sounds your Juno G is lacking the most of what you need and then simply get the SRX that fills in that gap?<br/> <br/> If you're hoping for more Dance/Techno/Chill sounds than the Juno G delivers then get the Supreme Dance. If the Juno doe...

<t>Being you said you are not a piano player what styles tickle your fanbcy the most?<br/> <br/> I have the Complete Orchestra, Symphonic Strings, and World collection. These three are very good. <br/> <br/> If you are into dance or techno you should look into Supreme Dance.<br/> <br/> <br/> Oh, and...

What's a "No Break"?

<t>Matias,<br/> <br/> I agree that it is cruel for Roland to have only put in ONE SRX expansion bay for the Juno G and Fantom Xa.<br/> <br/> I realize that the above two models are cheaper than the X6, X7, and X8, and therefore must have some disadvantages, but why not at least Two slots instead of ...

<t>Agreed fully with what Silver Dragon says here. <br/> <br/> Mastering can be a lot tougher than you think at first. In the beginning I thought: "Ah, I can just do the mastering myself! All they do is add a little compression and tweak on some eq's!"<br/> <br/> Boy oh boy. <br/> <br/> It really is...

<t>I have the newer Event ALP5 monitors ($329 for the pair) and they are actually very good! The only thing they don't portray super accurately is the lower Bass frequencies. But for a 5.25" woofer they put out a decent amount of bass. You can actually mix your songs on these Events so long as you c...

<r>You might want to consider going the computer route if you want REALLY good Orchesteral and String sounds. East West makes incredible sounding samples for the computer. If you wanted to go that way.<br/> <br/> Otherwise I will say this: In my opinion some of the stock string sounds on the Fantom ...

I never trust any "improved" or "your favorite product/company is going belly up" posts on April 1st!
