Roland Cloud

What analog synths are left for Roland to model?

Is it just the Alpha Junos and JX-8P? Feels like we have most of the mono synths and analog polys, and everything after 1985 is digital.

Edit - forgot the Jupiter 6!

This list is on their website:

I just got an email from RC saying that their Space Echo is $199. What a deal.

I bet Behringer can make a hardware Space Echo for that

Seriously, the days of 200 bucks for a single effect are long over (if they ever existed), I got most of the UAD effects and synths (dozens of then) including a very good Space Echo for 99 bucks!

[Examigan]

Yeah I have too many delays already. I bought several from Plugin Alliance during sales that they had and a few other sites.

[EfreetiSultan]

I've cubase and I can't find anything missing from the stock delays? Monodelay, stereo delay, ping pong and multitap. And there's tape distortion built in on every channel including sends.. If that's what u want.
Why pay 200 for a delay it's absurd. Ludicrous

[Caine123]

they keep making fun more and more and what a disrespectful company. the journey continues

[trusampler]

They keep bringing out what seems to be more and more disrespectful pricing to their customers. Valhalla destroys any FX Roland makes for 1/4 of Roland’s prices.

They seem to be shooting themselves in the head.

Okay I try not to complain too much and admittedly do have a good time with the D-50 etc but 200 bucks, oh my stars hahahahaha

Let's see, AudioThing's got a clone for $40 right now, Arturia's is $100 (and was $50 just yesterday), IK's got one for $100 too, Softube's got something similar for $60 right now, Echoboy is... okay Echoboy is also $200 right now but lol all the same.

[Examigan]

Cherry Audio has one for $19 and Arturia’s is $49, both are on Sweetwater’s site.

[dumbledog]

I mean, like, who doesn't have a Space Echo clone at this point. I've been drunk before -- maybe I accidentally wrote one without even noticing.

[Digivolt]

IK's got one for $100 too

You can get it & all the other IK plugs for $49.99 right now

UAD one you can probably pick up for $29 at some or cheaper in one of the many bundles they do

Black Rooster version is only £16 right now

It's obvious Roland don't really want people buying perpetual licenses and prefer people giving them a yearly sub for Cloud

[J Veronica]

I think I have 3 Space Echoes without really wanting one. They just came in bundles (FX Collection 2, UAD Signature Collection etc).

[IvyBirds]

Of course you can use the Space Echo with the Sound Canvas plugin and it sounds awesome. Oh wait they pulled the plug on that plugin lol

In all seriousness, $199 what kind of crack are they smoking? I have three maybe four Space Echo plugins, I didn't deliberately buy a single unit, all of them came in a bundle of some kind

[Septic Underground]

It's a new marketing strategy.
From: Roland designs the future
To: Roland has completely lost the plot

Or how to when you hold all the IP cards and still become the bottom of the barrel
