If Roland didn't pay Craig to post that, they certainly should have.


:)

 

Yeah baby! A whole new concept...getting paid for not saying what something is :) Wow, I could make a frickin' fortune! Let me not tell you about 3,455 other products...

 

Seriously, I just emailed Roland to try to set up an appointment first day of the show so I can get a video up that night on HC. Always looking for scoops, y'know?

Roland would
certainly
benefit from an Anderton style product demo.

 

 

Thanks for posting that...hey, maybe they should have me do a pro review!! I just don't know if the anti-gravity module is totally done yet. When I saw the prototype, it was actually kind of a bust...they couldn't get the thing more than about three feet off the ground. The engineering spec was 10 feet.

76 keys on a VA. I don't know about this one? The Price is pretty high as well. Throw in Roland's current rep and the fact that they have disgraced themselves with by renaming their new Mid/low line from great synths of the past. I just don't know? The JX10 was cool but that was a different time. All of Roland's great polys have been 61 keys. ( JP8, JP6, JUNO 60, Juno 106, JX 3P & 8P, Juno 2, D-50, JD800, V-Synths 1 and 2).

76 keys unlikely. 61 keys sells better. I predict it is not 76 keys.

 

 

I've seen the Jupiter-80 and it has 76 keys. Unfortunately, the link to the pix and write-up vanished.

 

From what I remember, it looks a lot like the original Jupiter-8, with similar chassis and bank of multi-colored buttons above the keyboard. Not that many knobs and sliders for tweaking though.
