Roland Website

Post by Erdem »

Hi from Turkey;

Why doesn't Roland put more information about their products? When you go to a product site, you only find MP3 demos, regular pictures and things like that. Come on, Roland. You can do better. Upload some photos taken from the angles, upload some new MP3's once in a while. Don't just upload infomation and keep the site like that for 3 years. Let us get to know the instruments better.

BASIC!

Ahh, digimage. Those line number bring back memories man. ;-) Oh, the days when I would sit in front of my Commodore 64 writing line after line of BASIC code just for fun.

But back on the subject. Yes, I agree with both you and Phait. It's all about the money to Roland. Roland needs to take a lesson from Google and adopt the philosophy of "do no evil." Well, different markets, but that's still a good philosophy to have.

I just created a much more "elegant" version of digimages program as a Micro$oft Windows application using Micro$oft's Visual C++ V6. It only came to 148kb of code (with 14 files). The executable only came to 178kb. :)

I started on a Timex-Sinclair that I had to hook up to a black and white TV. It had a membrane keyboard instead of real keys.
