yeah i got the update. im really hoping future updates allow automation on the audio tracs. thats kinda lame. i really dont have too many gripes as of yet, just that the assholes at roland didnt include enough ram to mixdown a song thats only 3 minutes and 45 seconds. ridiculous. good thing ram is cheap. you can get the same one roland sells for 270 off ebay for 1.85 plus 10 bucks shipping.
the drums sound good now that ive gotten comfy with the fx system but they still lack in quantity. ive been sampling a lot of my favorite drum sounds from reason. does the job for me. i just wish there was a way to get some synth patches, they have too many pianos and organs and bullshit that all sound similar, id rather have more synth sounds but i understand roland has to cater to the base that is buying this thing for live gigging. they could have added more synth sounds though, 70+ acoustic pianos is a little overboard. most of them sound the same or similar.
i wouldnt fuck with that arx bullshit until they come out with some synth shit. all they have now is drums and eps. for 500 bucks a piece? i think ill get a motif es rack for that price, fuck a drum module. especially for 500. drums you can sample for days and put practically no dent in your ram. what happens when you drop 500 on that arx board and the drums are exactly what you could have sampled into the machine? let me know how it works out for you though, maybe im wrong, but im waiting til some more boards come out. remember theres only 2 expansion slots for arx so youll have to use them wisely.
