Roland Clan Forums

Do any of you have other Boutique drivers installed? I've got 3xJP-08 (I know, I know - a bit of a silly decision), 1xTR-09, 1xSE-02 and the Aria app customiser (the one that allows you to create different devices inside the effects units that they made a few years ago. I have a "Demora" d...

Hi everyone - I was certain I'd set the site to email me when I had a response; I assumed no one had replied :-) Sorry! And thank you all for your replies and thoughts. I really do appreciate it. It's also good to hear that people have it working as it should, so it's definitely something going wron...

Hi everyone This issue has come up on different forums at different times, and now it's affecting me. I've got a JU-06A and a MacBook Pro running Catalina. I've installed the driver - the "install helper" app (which is bundled with the driver) says "The driver has been successfully in...

It shouldn't have done that. The new OS contains a full new set of presets (actually they're not new - they're mostly from the downloadable Axial banks from the Roland site), but it's not supposed to do anything with them unless you carry out a factory reset. You might have a bit of a bug there. It'...

Thanks for these. The demos sound great.

Haha perfect advice! Actually it's hard when you really feel lost - when I used to use synths in the 80s, being lost was the best thing for me, cos the experimenting led to me discovering the most amazing sound designs. I guess I've reached that age - the sort of age that led to older people in the ...

HI PauloF (and others of course!) I’ve only just been able to set my system up, due to extremely poor health. Happily, I was able to work out a way of fitting my JP-8000 into the very small space I have to work with. This means the JP can now act as a controller. The keyed isn’t that great, but it’s...

That shelf is brilliant. It's actually exactly what I'm looking for.

I bought one of those gorgeous wooden stands that hold two boutiques, but I need what you've got - 2 units plus keyboard.

If you're in a position to make more, I'd definitely be happy to buy one from you :-)

PaoloF, this is amazing :-) I never thought someone would go into so much detail and help so much! I'm sighing wistfully while reading your recommendation to use the XP-80 as a master keyboard. Compared to these newer boards with mini-keys it's inspiring to play. It makes my fingers feel talented. E...

Hi everyone. I'm slowly getting back into making music after a long long time away. Last time I used Midi there were no computers, and all I wired together were a drum machine and two synths. Also, to really date me, every piece of kit had Midi thru. Please can I call on your experience to help me w...

I just bought one a few weeks ago. The battery needed replacing but otherwise it's in perfect condition. Oh boy, I am totally in love with this synth. It is a wonderful classic - it seems to hark back to older analogue synths, but obviously it's not analogue. Something about it though.... it's cheek...

Hi everyone. New guy here - I'm a long-time user of (exclusively!) Roland gear, but have spent years with no gear at all. I just bought a JP-8000 and MC-505 from ebay, and I am absolutely in love with them. The MC-505 has a problem. When you tap 'realtime erase', you can use the wheel or dec/inc but...
