Firstly, U110 cards have two prices. The one is what the seller asks for them, the second is the one a buyer pays. I bought all my sn-u110 cards for less than 20-30 euros including shipping, from sellers who finally understood that no one pays what they are asking for. Which makes them still overprized for the sad amount of waveforms they provide. My Proteus 1 rules over all of them combined. Secondly, I really enjoy my U220 and it is a great module if you like what you get. The converters are soundwise identical to the JV880, with no noise issues at all, and if you turn the FX off the unit's sound is even better. I wouldn't buy a U20. The U220 is cheap, available, usually with no issues. The mere idea of having to refurbish the keyboard to save it from the red glue plague gives me the creeps.

This was my very first "real" synth ever. I was SO proud of it. I probably bought it in 91 and kept it for over a decade. Back then, I was so obsessed with learning how to make the sounds I heard on albums, and I learned as much as I was capable about that keyboard in order to achieve what I did. I know I had the Special FX Rom expansion card and at least one ram card for my own backup. Of course I wanted more synths but was lucky to afford that one at the time. I read Keyboard magazine every month and always wondered what a filter was as I read every other keyboard review, haha. I have very fond memories of the piano sound and many others, and I made splits and layers out the wazoo to try to cover songs in various bands I was in. Thanks so much for the video.

The sounds on the U series are pure cheese for the most part. The horror back then was the unrelenting ubiquity of said cheese. The Us are one of the very few Roland/Boss instrument series I never laid hands on. My ears would have downed tools. Dedicated samplers were much easier to edit and had way better libraries for the preset junkies. The cheezromplers were duly hidden in attics and garages, where they were discovered by rose-tinted 21st century nostalgists who needed to authentically experience the pain their grandparents' generation went through.

At this rate, you'll review Roland's entire 80s and 90s synth lineup. Actually, I wouldn't mind at all, just give other manufacturers chance

You know I love 80's synth sounds so this synth gets a pass from me. My favorite bad review you posted on the screen was "the manual was written by the antichrist." I feel like that's true of a lot of 80's gear. Nothing will ever beat the manual to the Casio XW-PD1, though. That's easily the worst manual ever written.

Yeah, the trackformer has the most useless manual of all time!

@greatheightsu3 жыл бұрын
"The manual was written by the antichrist." lol If that's who Roland employs no wonder they are the Bad Gear kings. That said, even if this thing sucks for making your own sounds, I absolutely love all the nostalgic sounds you played today. Great preset keyboard.
