Hi Dana,I just returned from Roland Belgium.They are gonna do as much as
they can!
DID YOU KNOW that the big boss of Roland (Japan) visited the Belgian Roland
factory,and he DOESN'T WANT THAT ROLAND KEEPS FIXING OLD MACHINES anymore!!!
So I was one of the last ones to have an old synth fixed at Roland :-) When
I came in the technician said : Aaahhh,the Rolls Royce of Roland" :-)
I find it a bit hypocrit : they don't want to fix the machines that made
Roland big but on the other hand they name their new machines sh201,MC808
etcetc....All the same crappy softsynths in different packages :-)
I!ll keep you informed if my Jupitter survives,if not something inside me
will die :-)
Cheeersss and thanks for the super info!
