ARX Diss Continued?

Maybe its because the Jupiter has been released with supernatural installed and all modeling on one board so why would one need an arx supernatural card :)
just a thought

what can i say,,..
if that's the case...
just give me time to sample my favourite G presets of....
and its sold...
I'm really starting to get sick'd by Roland....

but this is not...
maybe its just as the G7..
what didn't sell..has been deleted....

I surely regret Roland didn't go further with it. I was really expecting some interesting ARX boards, namely a vocoder/VA one. I would be on the front line to get one. I have no info about them beeing discontinued but I wont be running after any of the 3 available ones since I'm not really impressed with them.

to be fair...
ARX 01 at $99 is a steal and is the most useful of the 3
especially if you want separate internal sound processing for each drum part on your tracks.

If any, I would get the ARX-01.

I knew they wouldn't last the same as Fantomx and SRX.. I saw this coming and said so back when they released them along with the G.. I knew to watch from the sidelines.. And I warned you guys then, but back then what did I know, right? ;-)

The Fantom G along with ARX's has been thorns in Roland's side since it's release.. And I'm sure one of their regrets.. Definitely one of their biggest flops ever.. Fantom-X, although far from perfect, was the closest to perfection Roland has ever gotten in the Workstation market.. Then they made a wrong choice at the fork in the road when they got to it... the problem with it all was that Fantom-G was never statement... It was a reply to everything around it at the time... Un-like Fantom-S and X...

What's more interesting,
while we begged and asked for new ARX boards and got nothing, Roland developed them all the time, but as a part of the new Jupiter and not for the FG.

Yes Septimo i remember your words..
and even so I never put any faith in roland supporting the G for any period of time even before i got the G.
So non of this is unexpected and I got what i did expect from the G and still have the X.
Im happy with the G and wont be purchasing anymore new roland gear for along time to come.

Roland have relieved them self's for what they really are now..
short sighted and out for the Quick buck rather than the long term earnings.
All promises are lies and to be wary of any new product that have un expected bugs or flaws
as they will not be fixed if not already in the 1st 6 months..

Now we have the jupiter 80
if anyone gets it.. it either works correctly when you buy it or send it back..
dont wait for updates that dont happen too quickly..
Most places give you 30 days trial.. (use it)

make roland work for its money in the future.

The SRX cards are selling for more than the ARX cards.....I think that spells the end of the Fantom G and ARX.....Roland you suck !!!

What a let down......You definitely won't be getting my euros again !

Can't this just be a mis-print ? ,

I bought the FG because the ARX-03

no rash wait for any conclusions until NAMM 2011 in july

Well ladies and gentlemen, horses and mules, bald headed babies, and piano stools... ARX is officially DEAD! That's what it looks like to me anyway. Roland is allowing deep discounts on remaining ARX cards and you just don't do that unless they've been discontinued... for good. Sorry folks.

My prediction several months ago concerning ARX's demise was accurate apparently. Let's face it. Roland is being left in the dust by Yamaha's Motif XF and the new Korg Kronos, therefore, Roland is scrambling to catch up needless to say. ARX was way over-priced resulting in mediocre sales no doubt and the Krono's monster could be seen as perhaps devouring Roland's bottom line and future market share in the workstation market if Roland didn't do something... fast! Roland is probably busily designing and building their next workstation using more advanced technology and features to counter the Motif XF and now the Kronos monster. :O Therefore, Roland could NOT keep funneling money into the now abandoned Fantom G and ARX had to go unfortunately.

The bright side in this picture is that Roland graciously discounted remaining ARX cards to rock bottom prices therefore instead of being angry at them we should rather be thankful they steeply discounted remaining ARX stock. At least that's how I feel about it anyway. By the way, if you're thinking of getting one, or two, then you better hurry because apparently they're going really fast.

I went ahead an ordered ARX-01 and ARX-03 from zzounds.com who still had both of them in stock... at the unbelievable price of $99.00 each. :) I noticed Sweetwater.com had those two in stock as well but they were still charging $399.00 for them. :( BTW, if anyone orders from zzounds.com and you have issues with your ARX order I cannot be held responsible for any errors you encounter. ;) They are saying that both ARX-01 and ARX-03 are still in stock and I ordered in good faith based on their website listing. Hopefully they do indeed have both in stock and everything will be peachy. My order is expected to ship on Monday 04-18-2011. Free shipping too. :)
