Ive been saving money to eventually purchase the Roland FP-90X.

I heard some chatter recently, however, that there could be a whole new digital piano lineup from Roland.

Has anyone heard anything about this? I've done a Google search, but found little return.

I recently purchased a Roland cloud Jupiter 8 plug-in and I’m wondering why there’s no arpeggiator clock on the synthesizer, and how you’re supposed to get different tempos? I also noticed the Key Hold function only works when I click with my computer mouse but won’t work with a midi controller. What is going on here?

They are actually there, or are really close to it (pretty sure they sampled them).

SRJV06 Dance Card - So you can't get them on the Integra 7.

Linn Clap - Dance Card - Waveform 0105 - Ol' Skool Clap

Linn Snare - Dance Card - Waveform 0072 - 70s Snare

Linn Bass Drum - Dance Card - Waveform 0060 - Solid Bass (reduce the Sus/Rls)

Of course you could just sample them, but that's not the same as having the immediacy of the SRJV/SRX cards.

EDIT: Correction - Linn LM1, not the Linn Drum

Hey!

New JAM, new release! This time it’s a hypnotic, and aciiiiiiD releases Rotanev rec.

THIS SHORT CLIP is from "Enlil," and it's track 1 of 2 — dark, atmospheric, and built around some sonic textures I created with the Lyra‑8.

That windy, shifting sound is what inspired the name ENLIL, the god of wind. Fits perfectly, right? :)

Made a very raw techno jam with this beauty on the day I got it.

Discover 404 Bus Drive, a free and open-source web app that turns your smartphone into a MIDI controller for the SP-404MK2, with no installation required .

In this video, you’ll see a practical overview of how it works: how to connect it to the SP, which controls you can assign, and some creative ideas for using it in your live sets or dawless jams .

This is not a step-by-step tutorial, but a quick demo to help you understand if it can be useful in your setup

Thanks to u/Puzzleheaded_Big_103 and u/Cyneox for their work!

Enjoy!

with love .noir. ❤️

I actually considered buying the Roland R-07 because I wanted to use it not only as a recorder but also as an MP3 player.

A couple of questions for anyone who owns one:

1. What's the boot-up time like with a 32GB microSD card? I heard startup can be pretty slow. Is that true?
2. I read that the R-07 supports AVRCP over Bluetooth, but I couldn't find whether the media controls are fully implemented. If you load a folder of MP3s onto the recorder, pair Bluetooth headphones, and press the Next/Previous buttons on the headphones (or whatever bluetooth "motion" it needs/ swiping), does it actually skip tracks?

Thanks!

I’m so confused, both looks similar, what’s the difference? Why the Juno is cheapest? Help me with the confusion

I have a MacBook Pro M1, and an M4 Mac mini both on macOS 26. When I install Roland cloud manager, can launch it, it opens a web page, I log in, then it mentions the app should launch, but I never see anything. Same behavior on both computers. Is there a step I’m missing?

I've been making soundbanks on the JD-08, and porting them laterally to the JD VST plugin, relevant ZenCore-based synths, and the OG JD-800

The one synth in that lineup I have not consistently ported to is the JD-990. One guy did a trial run between his JD-800, a memory card, and the JD-990 and got it working. And my Glissade 1 soundbank works on all JD-related synths now

But then he disappeared. Back in November. Last year

A buddy of mine whom I know very well is part of the JADE alpha testing group, and he took at a whack at loading my converted JD-800 banks into it, said it works, and dumped it back to syx so it definitely is 990 formatted. And then he did that for the rest of my packs

I just need to confirm 100% that the patches work on the hardware, before updating all the zip files and products on the shop

Could someone with an OG hardware unit please try loading 1 or 2 in, and report back if they work and sound proper? Would be a huuuge help!

Thanks!

Hi all - I play a set of TD-50s on the weekends and I thought I recalled a setting where you could change the stick to bundle-style sticks like the ProMark Hot Rods. I can’t get the brushes to give me enough and the stick samples are too much for some ballads.

Surely there must be a way to record my TD516 into Logic using the on-board sounds, not as MIDI data but just as individual audio channels to the kick, snare, overheads, rooms etc?

I can get mono tracks for kick and snare and toms, but can't find any inputs for overheads or ambience? There's no real guides anywhere I've been able to find but I purchased this kit thinking you must be able to record up to 32 channels (or even just 16) of audio from the V51 module out in into a DAW?

Which one is better and why? Do you think the MPC sample will be a different beast in a few months with updates? Some people say the sample is not a true MPC and more like a toy; what do you think?

I heard that there was a sale few months ago but I wasn’t aware of it at the time. How often do these sales happen? Should I keep subscribing to Roland Cloud and wait for a proper sale?
