Roland Clan 6th anniversary campaign

Post by Artemiy »

Dear everybody,

as a foreword, I'd like to thank all of you for being here and helping to make the Clan what it is. Both those who've been here from the beginning, and those who've just joined, should know that I infinitely value all of our members and as usual I will be dedicating as much time to help you all out as possible. I have been posting here every day since the very start, I am here every morning I wake up, I have made posts even while my kids were young and sleeping in my arms, on my mobile phone while in a bus, in an airport, and even on the toilet (yes, that's true)... Roland Clan is very special to me, and I hope you feel the same. Now, if you wish, you can also take part and help your favorite place stay online and keep growing.

As you may know, Roland Clan first appeared on the web on 27th March 2003, and quickly gained success thanks to lots of useful information about Roland gear gathered into one place, as well as it's super-friendly atmosphere at the forums. Now, with almost 12,000 members from over 120 countries and tremendous support by the core team and Roland specialists from around the world, it is arguably the most significant community of Roland users that ever existed.

To celebrate our sixth anniversary, we are running a fundraising campaign to gather $1000 by the end of March 2009, which is needed to make the site stay online, keep it adversitement-free as usual, offer more free services to everyone and support community projects. You can donate to the fund by purchasing one or more tickets each costing $5.

Even a single ticket is of great importance to Roland Clan, and to prove this we'll give you away a free Sound Gift with over 100 MB of original instruments and loops made with Roland's latest and most powerful synthesizers like Fantom-X, Fantom-G, V-Synth and V-Synth GT. However, the more tickets you purchase, the more chances you have to win a prize containing multiple great products and services from several companies around the globe, worth almost $600. The campaign will end and the winner will be announced on 28th March 2009.

Sound Gift contents:

- 10 multisampled instruments
- 10 drum loops
- 10 bassline loops
- 10 ambient loops
- Formats: AIFF, WAVE
- Total size: 109 MB

Grand prize contents:

- Amazing $200 gift card for any of the products from Sinevibes
- Select sound library CD from Hollow Sun sound design studio ($55)
- Mixing or remix service from Dining Room Studio, UK ($160)
- YASE sample conversion and management software for Roland Fantom series from Nexoe ($160)

For today, 78 people donated a total of $720.

I am happy to report that we have already directed part of the funds for direct benefit of all Roland Clan members:

- $100 went to purchase 20 GB hosting in Austria
- $200 went to support Matt, a developer who gave us the Fantom-X patches converted to Juno-G and SonicCell formats, and now there is one for Juno Stage in the works
- We should also be able to get hold of a video camera to shoot some good new tutorial videos

I donated at the time it was $810, so it should be $815

I was wondering how do you get the sound gift?

It doesn't say.
