A good idea and you need to contact you national Roland HQ so they can in turn contact Roland in Japan who make the decisions on what to create and proceed with.

Epu had a great idea about an expansion card with Sample Rom any sounds you have in Wav format loaded via PC and necessary hardware). Sounds great huh?


Roland UK were informed and passed it on to Japan but we doubt they'll go with it. My feeling is although it would potentially add so much life to the JV/XP series the company are going with standalone samplers or an inbuilt sampler in a new XV synth..

The main thing we see is we have recognised a big gap in the market. Any small company wanting to hit the bigtime should look at these ideas..

So..here's the chorus and it goes

"For those about to ROM we salute you!!"
