851.0. "Roland/Alesis Equipment At June '87 NAMM Show" by FDCV01::ARVIDSON (Leggo my ego!) Tue Jun 30 1987 16:54

While checking on the status of my D-50 I got the following announcements
from the NAMM show, basically Roland stuff...

Roland:
- MT-32  Sound Module:  12 bit samples; called a module because it can be
			added to anything from electronic drums to keyboards
			List: $495

- D-550  D-50 Rack:  Same as the D-50 in a rack form; List $1695
			(Already!!)

- S-550  S-50 Rack:  Same as S-50 but with 8 outputs and 16 voices; List $3295

- S-503  Sequencer for S-50 and S-550:  This package is loaded into the memory
			of the S-50 or S-550.  The dealer sounded impressed
			with it.  List $199.

- S-50 OS V2 Upgrade:  List $80

- S-220  Rackmountable sampler similiar to the S-10: List $695

- M-160  Digital Mixer:  16 channels, 4 racks, no EQ, 12 bit/16 bit processing,
			List $1095

- MKS-100  Discontinued


Alesis(SP):
- HR-16  16 bit digital drum machine:  48 Sounds, 16 assignable pads; List $449

The dealer said this stuff pretty fast so take it for what it is worth.  I might
be able to remember more if people throw terms in when they ask 'What?'

Yup.  Believe it!!!  Geesh!!!

"The S-550 yours for the incredible price of just $3295!!  Order now and we'll
 include the keyboard, free!!!"

Dan

    
    ... or order an S-50 at ~2800, get a free keyboard and save $500.

The S-550 could have some added features that the dealer wasn't aware
of, I tend to doubt it tho'.  Next time I call I'llask for more specifics.
