Roland - new gear??

Excellent. This will certainly be the first boutique I will be buying.

Took me a while but I finally got one. My only regret is not buying it sooner. This is a fantastic little instrument. One of the most fun products I've bought in a long time.

No surprises about the D05 then... But I'm concerned about the lack of any further developements on the System 8 Plug-Out side of things
. Roland keep promising more, but there's been nothing - I fear it's going the same way as the Fantom G.

I fear that, in the near future, any new System-1 and 8 plug outs will only be supported with a Roland Cloud subscription. Something I won't do as I'm only interested in some of the plug outs. I'm not in the least interested in a JV 1080, D-50 (would sooner buy the boutique D-05 hardware) or things like that. Rumours are that there will not be any new plug outs available any more through the content store. In that case those who won't subscribe to this Roland Cloud will be left behind and have to do with what is there now.

In retrospect I think Roland's Boutique series makes a lot of sense.
Yes, they're (a bit uncomfortably) small, but then again they are not meant to be full-fledged performance synths, they may not be perfect reproductions, but they sound good, they do not cost much and they can be used in both standalone mode and via USB together with a DAW.
Not a bad idea at all.

Roland JV-1080 VST was the best news for me since korg digital collection release

Does it need Roland drivers or would Windows 10 recognize it?
