Roland Boutique synths

[Synthtron]

The Boutique synths are now shipping!
I am waiting to check them all out.

My local store has demo units so I'm going along tomorrow to try the JP-08 out (which I've pre-ordered).

I've pre-ordered a JP-08 and a K25-m.
Not a clue when I can collect them.

I think I've mentioned before that I'll be using the JP-80 to trigger the 08 - I'm hoping aftertouch is supported :) I've been told delivery 'sometime' in November.

I ordered a JP08 through Sweetwater, I received an email today saying that it should be arriving tomorrow.
Can't wait.

I hesitated about the keyboard.
It fits on my JP-80 perfectly, but since it is can also be battery powered and has a speaker I think it will be table- and laptop synth as well as a synth on the road.
With the Yamaha Reface DX I recently bought it works this way. ;-)

I did not order the keyboard, it will fit on and be controlled by my JP80.
Although kind of tempted to get the little keyboard in the future, I agree it makes it very portable to take anywhere.

Note of interest:
I am not sure how many of these Boutique synths Roland has produced, the Rep. at Sweetwater whom I purchased mine from said that all the models that will be produced have been produced and Roland will not make anymore, so they really are a Limited Edition. Not sure how true that is but it sounds like now is the time to get them?

Wow...If that is true...it is really bad news for some guys in Countries not considered on the first distribution...

well... we'll see

If they are that limited I guess some are going to miss out on getting a duplicate for poly chaining, unless they act now? That would stink. I cannot imagine Roland would do such a small run like that but who knows.
I wonder what Roland are up to next in incorporating these ACB models of their classic polysynths. Will there be a larger synth featuring all of them? Maybe they will be incorporated into a new Fantom workstation replacement.
With Roland, now it seems the sky is the limit with PCM/Supernatural, ACB and Analog engines.
These are exciting times to me.
Go Roland!

How do you like the DX Reface? I have a DX-7 and I Considered getting one until news of the Boutique synths came out.
To me the Reface DX was the neatest out of the Reface line and the only one I am interested.

According to the MIDI implemtation Chart, Aftertouch is a no go. It is not transmitted or received.

so they really are a Limited Edition.

That's what the guy from my music store also said.
He said that he will receive just two of each.
