i will not be doing that

And Roland is eating everyone elses lunch.

Roland is okay but they're sort of the out-of-touch grandpa. They incorporate juno synth engine into the aira j6 but dont allow midi cc control of internal parameters. Big oof.

At least their grooveboxes are good. MC 101, 707, and the TR-8S come to mind. And of course their vintage synths are very good.

The system 1 plugout is better than most people realize but it's so weird and designed in such an offputting way that it never really got recognition.

But if you want a good modern synth, I'd go with a korg or dsi. Nord Lead2 or lead4 if you want a workhorse.

Personally I want the minifreak from arturia. The microfreak was the best investment I've gotten from a synth, and it doesnt even have internal fx.

I too drool over the minifreak

i meant to say system 8 plugout, the one with all the green lights

Roland's refusal to put song mode in old drum machine emulations kills it for me. Bought the tr-8 when it came out and was SOOOO pumped, sold it three weeks later :( . I had dreams, man, it was gonna be like having my old 606 back. fuck roland in the arse.

Still using a $35 Korg DDD-1 because roland keeps fucking up.

I can't buy behringer for their mega-shit behaviour. else I'd have their knock off 909 and 606.

next week pre-ordering for next available batch of isla 2400's because at least they put fucking song mode in, but selling my moog sub37 to do so.
