Roland buys major share in CW + revolutionary softsynth announcement cancelled
OK, so all in the same day we hear that Roland has made a major investment in Cakewalk (not to be confused with majority), and we hear that the announcement of a revolutionary new softsynth that was scheduled for announcement this week has been cancelled.. is anybody else wondering what the connection is here??
Did this revolutionary softsynth threaten the foundation upon which all Roland Hardware synths were built? Did Roland realize that if this revolutionary softsynth is released their entire future produce line is redundant? huh...eh...hmm? Anyone else here more than a little suspicious...
Is everyone falling for that "Very recently our development team had some major insights on ways to dramatically improve the user experience of this instrument" story????
"You can expect more news on this later this year"... Later this year... what the f@#$??? that could be almost 12 months from now!
Rise up people... unite.. don't stand for this.. otherwise this revolutionary softsynth is going to be shelved in some warehouse with the wreckage from that area 51 spacecraft, the 1000 mpg aero car, and transporter technology (I know that they've got that... I saw it on tv).
