Alternative products - System 1/1m/8 plug-outs without the plug-in functionality
16 Jun 2022, 23:53Would like to make a request to Roland to consider to make available options for only the plug-outs without the VST sound generation functionality for hardware owners (i.e System 1/1m/8) at a reduced price level.
The number of plug-outs are many and the total cost are significant for the total package specially for those not working in the box.
Plugout pricing is increasing, for example the Jupiter 4 is now $199.
Such option would make it affordable to own the whole product package, preferably perpetually.
The idea is for the VST to just disable the sound generation with the UI itself still working from the hardware, the same as with the test drive versions but with the plug-out option enabled. A bundle like the Poly-synth collection w/o the audio generation would be nice as well.
From hardware user perspective:
Jupiter 8 $ in hardware
JX-3P $ in hardware
Juno 60 $ 149
Juno 106 $ 149
Jupiter 4 $ 199
--------------------
$497
Polysynth bundle $499
--------------------
Savings $-2
