Re: US Promotion: FREE Sonar X1 Producer w/ Jupiter-80 purch in JUPITER-80 · 9 Jun 2012

It's a great promotion from a Roland perspective. Since they own Cakewalk now, and given this is a download only version, it really costs Roland no additional money to offer what costs $399 at retail.

Re: Why is this forum not as active as the Kronos forum? in Latest News / Free Zone · 1 Jan 2012

Martin, Ok if they own the equipment he is using, then he is just like a corporate employee. ..or driver of a car he doesnt own. Korg sponsors him so he must act in their best wishes just like a puppet! If not they pull...

Re: Why is this forum not as active as the Kronos forum? in Latest News / Free Zone · 31 Dec 2011

Mojkarma, Chris-K is 100% correct in his comment about Korg owning Korgforums! Seems Sharp got caught contradicting himself about his(or I should say Now Korgs) ownership of Korgforums. Sparkie/RayS, Your information is...

Re: Why would you purchase an 80 over a G or Kronos? in JUPITER-80 · 10 Apr 2011

Even though I am buying a Kronos, I will definitely be demoing the Jupiter 80 when it arrives in stores. I want to see how the whole performance modeling works in practice.

Re: Piano Sounds in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 12 Nov 2009

The pianos are “fire and forget” and they equal anything Sony records can produce for a piano sound. I would suggest your "fire and forget" marketing phrase ALSO applies to your personality. Before blowing up on a forum,...

Re: Got my G FINALLY!! DESTROYED!!! in Fantom-G · 9 Jun 2008

I would be very wary about buying a new workstation from someone on eBay, even if it was a retail store. Hopefully you paid directly to the store using a credit card. If you used PayPal, you can get screwed.

Re: Korg cares what about Roland? in Fantom-G · 16 May 2008

I thought that Korg is owned by Yamaha No. The yearly Yamaha Annual Report does state that Yamaha has some type of "ownership interest" in Korg, but a Korg person told me that this was a small amount. I do think it is gr...

Re: Fantom G price going ^ in Fantom-G · 6 May 2008

For anyone who prefers facts, over conspiricy theory, I feel compelled to post a link that debunks these persistant myths. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/3616/FedReserveFacts.html The Federal Reserve Bank is...
