Members zzzxtreme Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 the video shows violins, saxaphones - so maybe new fantom successor + whole new ARX boards for acoustic modelling like the korg's STR and Yamaha's VL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NuSkoolTone Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Come on, we all know ROLAND doesn't do anything INTERESTING anymore. It'll be some watered down crap. All hype and no substance. Right? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members realtrance Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I would hope it's something that leverages Roland's acquisition of Cakewalk in a keyboard instrument; that would be cool. They already tried, a few years ago, with the VS-series DAWs, to host software plug-ins in hardware. There's probably architecture/R&D available to take that one step further. Combine it with ARX and AP synthesis on a good keyboard that's an evolution of Fantom, and I'd be there in a heartbeat... if I had any money, that is.

Members burster Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 As much as I love the old expansion boards and cards for synths, and I have a crap load of them, I feel they are done with. From now on expansions should be offered the way Korg does which is software upgrades loaded onto flash roms or hard drives. The future is now.

Members Bernard Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Roland add text from the early 80's: ''When we set out to create the Jupiter-8, we decided that its most important design parameter should be depth - depth in every area, from the creation of the sound to it's ultimate performance. Because of this commitment, the Jupiter-8 is the first programmable polyphonic synthesizer without compromise in any of its functions. We believe this makes it the most potentially creative keyboard instrument ever introduced.'' Roland add text on the teaser: A dramatic transformation has begun. The spirit of a legend re-emerges. An amazing new instrument takes form. Prepare for a new musical beginning. Juno really just means baby of the range and people getting twisted by it on digital products have misunderstood why Roland use that name. Jupiter is the biggest planet and we know the Jupiter 8 was their greatest synth, so it is a synth in that vein, range topping, with the spirit detailed above, IE depth (of use, function, keyboard, layout, interface etc) Whilst I do not think the music in the vid is a clue I did hear rotors and other synth techniques. Very little Rompler, more a modern VA with a twist for creativity.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bernard Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Roland not the only one releasing a new synth, but very little discussion about this. A NL4 would be awesome! I saw that page and came away thinking they are just inviting people to their stand ... LOL If they are launching a new synth, then it will be the worst teaser campaign in history, IE that text and pic on the page... So I get the impression ''nothing to see here'' I do hope they have something though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
