Well, now that we have an ACB "plug-out" version of the Jupiter 4, does anyone else think there's a chance of a Boutique Jupiter 4? As I previoulsy mentioned, I think it would be a great fit for the Boutique series, and the plug-out version has some interesting new features playing with v...

Oh, these are ABM boutiques...... not ACB. A little bit of a letdown, but still exciting. When I was searching for what the poly count was (which wasn't easy to find) I figured they used a better chip and it was ACB..... nope. Still, they sound great it just would have been nice to get an engine wha...

I was so happy to see this!! Excellent!! I'm going for the JX first, I think everyone will go after the JD. One thing that I'm curious about it: what if you have the PG-800? Can you use that with it? I have one stashed for the day I could get a MKS-70 :) The JD-08, oh boy that looks good too...... I...

I love the Boutiques too..... really don't care for the Cloud product: I want to own hardware!! Seems like they sold really well, maybe with the exception of the SE-2 (I could be wrong about that). For a little while they appeared to want 3rd parties to make "designer" Boutiques, I never r...

I figure (but don't know for sure) that it's just the native synth engine of the System 8. I don't have a System 8 (but I want one) and have read that the synth is really good. Personally, I think it's a slap in the face that Roland put this version on the Cloud. Actually, I wish they wouldn't put a...

What an amazing machine. Scored a great condition 2.0 with the original box and all the documentation. Super cool. Looking forward to learning this beast..... Up till now it's always just been a fantasy....... now the fantasy will grow to having a GT and maybe a second V-Synth to have the original w...

That's not entirely true about the TR-8 and TR-8S being identical sound-wise to the TR-08/TR-09. I had thought the same thing: Why would anyone pick a 08/09 over an 8 or 8s? I read that Roland did further tweeks to the 08 and 09 to make them even closer to the original. So while the 8 and 8s do have...

Is this a mean joke?

I wish someone would build something that did this (and sell it).

Just curious what people are thinking about where Boutique prices are doing. A little surprising some of what's happening...... just my observations and opinions: The original "Limited Editions" JX-03 - Going rate $230-$260 Seems to be the most "sane" of the bunch. Prices and ava...

I would love to have these in real life.

Based on the description, I would not expect this update to address the behavior of poly chaining. From Roland website: UPDATE HISTORY [ Ver.1.21 ] SEP 2019 Change the specification The specifications have been changed so that notes passed "thru" via MIDI OUT in Chain mode are passed &quo...

Just out of curiosity, did they fix the voice stealing with this new one?

I don't think that was a big issue, but it would be nice if they fixed it anyway.

Wow, there goes the JU-06's resale value......

Used will be going for $200

I had seen posts around the net saying the Roland MX 1 is a great mixer for Boutiques... but is it a great mixer for people chaining Boutiques to get all the sound outputted together?

Just curious what people were doing/using in a chained environment.

I just assumed they are "old" stock: available but not in active production. The long time goes on from the end of the first three, the more I'm glad they were "limited editions". Not that limited edition was ever defined or anything. Would be great if they did more limited editi...
