miden Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Maybe a new case, new badge....but it will STILL be all old Roland There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence...

konaboy Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 looks to me like the underexposed teaser photo shows the successor to the jd-xi and a new boutique D50 synth. i dig my jd-xi so it will be interesting to see the improvements, if that's indeed what it is. hang out with me at woody piano shack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan_evett Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Maybe a new case, new badge....but it will STILL be all old Roland Yeah, but the same could be said for the Montage (AWM, FM) Forte (many of the same, core samples), Nord, etc.. Certainly some sample and model updates have occurred, but the core technology has stayed the same. IIRC, Last time we had all new keyboard hardware technology was in the 1980's, with Roland SA pianos and Yamaha FM..

DulceLabs.com Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 my guess is one of those synths will be a Boutique D-50, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Buy your JP-80 now. It is the last quality action synth from Roland.

ElmerJFudd Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 You may very well be on target, CEB. It seems with the synths they are very focused on EDM producers for now. Thank goodness there is still activity in the digital console and stage piano lines. They are all in on this PHA-50 action, it's all over the new models. Ivory Feel-G is now in the DS88. I haven't been able to play it yet (the RD-2000 or FP-90, etc.) Would love to see them put out a quality action pro build VR-XXX again. 3 sections: RD-2000 Pianos and EPs Jupiter-80 Synth patches VR-09 organ engine with an all new top modern Leslie simulation Now watch them surprise us with an update to the Fantom/FA lineage.

miden Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Even something with the same synth engine, but the keybed from the A70 would be an advance There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence...

Franz Schiller Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 looks to me like the underexposed teaser photo shows the successor to the jd-xi and a new boutique D50 synth. i dig my jd-xi so it will be interesting to see the improvements, if that's indeed what it is. I have to politely disagree. I think the underexposed photo is a System 8. It appears to be four octaves of full sized keys, and I can almost read "System 8" in the corner. If you are correct that it's an improved JD-XI, I will be very upset, because i JUST bought one of those like a week ago. And June 20th will be a few days past my return window. And I love the JD-XI.

whannah Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 maybe a system-16? I would be happy with that as long as it drops the price of the system-8 so I can snatch one at a discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but only if it's true analog. No more VA's. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Are we wish listing? If so, I think I wouldn't be alone in hoping for a Fantom/FA refresh. A full out Supernatural or better sound set with a PHA-50 action on the 88 or 76k model. A 61 or 73k quality synth action ie. the Jupiter-80. Not sure if Roland is capable of thinking out of the box on the alternative keyboard lengths. But they could surely trickle down some better actions and their better sounds to the giggers line.

If it were me, I'd do the 61 and 76 semi-weighted, and a 73 and 88 weighted. And only the 76 with aftertouch. local: Korg Nautilus 73 | Yamaha MODX8 away: GigPerformer home: Kawai RX-2 | Korg D1 | Roland Fantom X7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Not starting off very strong...

ElmerJFudd Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Apparently it means take your pro gear, remove all features but a few, shrink it in size to look like candy, and set its price to approximately $399. Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I guess they figure that worked for Yamaha with the ReFACE series -- except that the ReFACE keys had a lot more going on than people initially thought, but I doubt that these "items" do.
