Re: What to keep ?

Hi there, I'm back with my topic. Sold my JDXa and Integra, as they were the most unused gear in my synth-arsenal. I have kept the Jupiter80 as well as the System8 (for the moment). I have some doubt about keeping the system8 or selling it and getting a Jupiter Xm instead. It is quite difficult to d...

What to keep ?

Hello There, I own several Roland hardware Synths (too much...) and I just notice that I am using them less and less because of VSTs and my studio configuration. I am asking myself what to keep and what to sell, but this is a tough decision and I thought that you could help me with it. My current Ro...

Re: 909 day 2017-Experience the D-50

Was shure Roland will do something for the 30th anniversay of LA Synthesis.

Hope you are right with the last option...Even though I think the boutique way is the most probable to be followed...

Keep finger crossed until 9.9

Worth selling Integra-7+RD64 for getting an FA07 ?

Hello everyone, Roland last announcement makes me rethink about my studio gear. I own several Roland gears currently : Jupiter 80, Integra-7, RD64 (+ JDXa, Sys8...) and I am pretty tempted to sell the combo integra+rd64 for getting an FA07. I will lose the hammer action but will gain on ease or use ...

Re: Buy it here: The FA-06/08 Overlay/Graphic panel!

I'm not sure if there will be a second batch... or at least not for over 6 months. Sales are slower than expected - turns out over 50% of the pre-order people have sold their FA in the last 3 months! I'm hoping the FA-07 will re-ignite the requirement, I just need to get a load of "07" pl...

Re: Aluminum sides for System 8

Of course you could sand it or cut it in another essence but what bothers me is the fact that there is so much difference between the official Roland product pictures and what you get in the end... Do not find normal also that you need to drill other holes on a product that is supposed to fit out of...

Re: Aluminum sides for System 8

Just a quick update (some of you probably saw my posts about this on FB), but just be aware that the stain of the wood on the RSP-8W is nothing like what you see in Roland's pictures. I was expecting "cherry", but in reality they're almost ebony. In addition, in my case, they are too thic...

Re: Aluminum sides for System 8

Seems impossible to buy either version...

Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA

Same for me. This was announced during a certain time on the Synthgraphics website.

Who knows, maybe this will come this year ?

Re: Two NEW JD-XA overlays! White and Jupiter/808

I really confirm that the quality of the Synthgraphics' overlay is simply stunning !
Got the Jupiter version and the end result on the JDXa is above all my expectations.

Not sure the Roland's can compete with it... just my opinion.

Re: JD-XA Crackling Sound

Have you tried to contact Roland in your country ? They must provide a solution ! I have read that the fix is done within minutes but Roland is keeping it secret (do not ask my why !!) I know that upgrading to 1.5 or a factory reset do not change anything to the problem (I have tried everything befo...
