The thing is you are both right about Roland. We might say they are double assholes even. There is one thing only that makes Roland change shit. It is a familiar symbol: $
If enough people tell them they are not going to buy from them until they do something about quality Then they will start writing new schematics. The thing is they will listen, but only to numbers. If all of us wrote the same thing in to them, if would cretainly go far far further, and if tenacious about it, a design meeting could be called if we proved even slightly right (which we are).
POST SUBJECT:
I think that there should be sound groups that you can choose from when you buy a new synth, just like if you order a new car from the factory. You buy the synth and the presets you want are loaded in semi-permanently plus making it able to have the other sounds for a later purchase. I need to have superior quality foundational sound or I won't even bother. I have many times taken a patch and sampled it into my kurz only for the purpose of creating the same patch on the kurz, made by the kurz. So what does that tell you about the quality of patches given on most synths? It flat out sucks in most cases.
Me? It's quality or it's nothing. I have to deal with enough of other people's turds and I'll be damned if I'm gonna have to start dealing with my own too.
MORPH!
