I found a surprise in my mailbox last night.
Smiley faces in advance: ;-) ;-) ;-)
That slimey no good Roland company that produces unreliable, mediocre,
overpriced products with shitty documentation, poor service and
screws MO places sent me a free CD yesterday.
My guess is that all S-550 owners who sent in their registration cards
will get a free copy of "Roland: A Sound Approach" in the mail soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if it went to owners of other high end pro
Roland equipment (D-550. A-80, etc.)
The CD is basically a collection of material done with mostly
Roland equpment. It comes with a 24-page booklet describing in
moderate detail the recording process and the equipment and
sounds that were used (mostly patches and samples that are available from
Roland library).
I found it very interesting to read about how the tune was done
and then listen to it.
The CD has been out some time now (Chad Leigh loaned it to me about
4 months ago).

So, what do you think of it, for those of us with Porta-Tones? --mikie-- | |||||

I got the CD as well, but I had to pay for it. It was well worth
the money. I was quite pleased with the songs (great background
music for when you're working on the home computer) and the technology
is quite impressive.
It was even worth the $11.95 (plus shipping, handling, taxes, freight,
carrying fee, tips for the delivery people, etc.) that I was charged.
