Wow, great to see that venerable synth manufacturer Roland finally responding to the current resurgence in analogue synthesizers and releasing… er, USB drivers, oh… yeah, great.
Well, it may not be the most exciting Roland news, but the fact that they still provide us with up to date drivers for stuff like the UM-880, which was released for over 10 years ago, is quite nice to say the least.
Good news. But updating drivers just should not be news. Innovate like you did Roland!
How about a driver for the VM-3100. I always like companies that support their older product lines like RME or Motu … I will buy Roland when their drivers last for many years after manufacture.
You will know the code works once the page shows the original price of
the item and then the discount you are going to get. You will be surprised within the choices
that are online as well as authenticity of the supplements offered.
We are able to offer these products to you at
such incredible prices because of our refusal to pay huge advertising costs,
fancy labels, elaborate marketing schemes and all the bells and whistles that a typical
retail supplement company takes on.
Though Roland is not releasing drivers for Windows 8.1 nor Mavericks for the SH-201 which means there’s no way to interface a newly bought PC to my synth, unless I buy another external MIDI interface. And their engineers say they are not going to develop one, i.e. the SH-201 is dead. Shame on them.
Another keyboard required then – no more Roland gear for me
