I take the blame for the deceptive thread title; it seems that people are reading it, expecting the thread to be another one of those threads and then replying without reading anything.Sir Ruff wrote:Stab, I'm amazed that you of all people are actively promulgating this completely beaten-to-death topic.
If I'd called it "Why do people want Roland to reissue the synths that are already easy to find examples/equivalents of and not the stuff that's actually rare/more interesting?" maybe there would be less people going 'hurrrrr Juno with midi it's so phat'.
I doubt very much that the thousands of people aren't buying the System X stuff is because they look into it all, love the sound and are just about to pull the trigger when they realise the differential pair in the oscillator has been replaced by two sides of a CA3046. I think it's more to do with the fact that the people who've heard of it are into Euro, and doing an all System 100m system in Euro would be a little dull when there's so much else out there to add to it. Or maybe people just want it to say Roland on it like people do with the x0xb0x.synthparts wrote:From what I've seen of these "clones" they don't use the same voice chips as the originals...
