Re: [AH] What an underwhelming 8/08 day from Roland

hi Patrick,

i do believe that System 8 and the Boutique synths (the ACB technology 
from Roland) can indeed substitute for the original Jupiter 8 and more.

it will not sound as full and warm as the original synth, but, inside a 
track mix, i think no one will be able to tell one thing from the other. 
and that is what counts really.

thanks,

Bakis.
