Just a thought. smile


It would be a dream... I've hoped for a revival of that cooperation too. The SuperNatural tones as they are presently do not really represent a 2015 update of these symphonic sounds.
But as an experienced member of a German forum remarked, it would probably even be much easier, and this is crazy if it's true: The SR-JV orchestral expansions were cut-down versions of Eric Persing's CD-ROMs of the same sounds in larger data size. If Roland could just take these same CD-ROMs and transfer them into new expansions of larger waveROM, they could possibly create higher-quality orchestral sounds even without having new sampling sessions.




Rosetree, I read the same thing regarding the SR-JV expansions being cut-down versions of Persing's CD-ROMS.

The idea you present of using the original CR-ROM quality to create new expansions is an interesting one. With today's keyboards having more ROM to work with, I think it would be possible. However, I would also like Roland to create brand new samples. smile
