Looks like G its off the market..

So now we got integra tops for everything above the 80 and 50 without the keybed, then you step down to the 50/80 just for the keybed.

And now that the Integra is being priced at $1999 i suppose the price point of a new workstation that is integra based
could be Sub $3000, maybe $2999.
but roland is in trouble there..
because the jp80 is sub $4000

Who will buy a jp80 if an Integra based workstation is released?

On the up side..
Looks like there will be a glut of cheap integras going on ebay soon :)

Additionally the JP-80 also seems to have gone down in price.
I remember seeing prices of +/- 3100 Euros a year ago, but now it has gone down to 2600-2700 Euros.

Well dont look like they did much at musikmesse 2013
just the same ol boring stuff..


Im not impressed with the new loopstation this can all be done on the pc
and $599 for the RC505!? you could get yourself a laptop for less and do the same thing and alot more to boot.
either way its a bust!
roland are so outta here..

However I am impressed with this guys performance

;) It seems that Roland cuts the Jupiter 80 prices in Germany.

Thomann and Music Store is now offering the Jupiter 80 for 2.699 € instead of 3.200 - 3.299 €

I spoke with a Roland sales representative yesterday on Musikmesse FFM. Roland definitively stopped the production of the Fantom G. He also states there is now new workstation in the queue. Or better he does not know anything about a new Integra based workstation, or he may not communicate it. Anyway ..

If Roland will bring something new or not ...

Now there is room for an upper workstation price tag from 3.299 € up to 3.999 € for a new big thing.

Cheers,

Alex
