Having said that, it was used on countless popular tracks, but I just felt you needed to really process it in thw studio to get anything out of it.

The factory sounds were the best available; people took Rolands mainly because they couldn't afford Linns.
20 years of revisionist thinking have us believing that the Rolands that were mainly laughable facsimilies of the real deal are desirable.
