MUSIK MESSE

no i don't want to know about the metamorphasis of an legend

no, i must know about an hero. 1 truly hardcore

I've never trusted Roland sine the MC303 althoug the the MV 8800 was the last semi-innovative thing they did

i thought the SH-201 was an atrocity intended to capitalize on its namesake

the vima jm-5 makes me nauseous.

Could this be the amazing Jupiter 8, improved exponentially by a factor of 10?

No. It's just another shitty virtual analogue.

At least it's better than their new Juno line.

edit: hopefully it's better rather. It's probably just an overpriced piece of junk. Roland are the synth equivalent of George Lucas, raping their own legacy.

Does anyone else here feel like the Roland corp just doesn't "get" what made them famous in the first place?

I miss my MC303... sure it was limited in storage space, but it had some great sounds. Might have to buy one off ebay again.

I paid £499 in 1996 when they first arrived and tried to get the shop to take it back after three weeks.

"it's defective"

"what, it won't turn on?"

"no, the design. it's crap. send me one that was designed properly..."

Edit: For the Jupiter 80

with a price coming in between $3500-$4000

Madness, you could buy half of a Jupiter 8 for that price!
