Nord....Not my first red instrument. Please note state of the art computer device. Sorry for the quasi mullet. Cheers Mike

Ahh...,
is the that the red FP-8 that I see there?

Roland has had quite the flirtation with red over the years.







Nice pic
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, hanon

Wow!! I missed all those! Love the red smilie!! Yup it is the red FP-8 which now resides in the basement museum. I had a grey one, but at the time grey was hard to get. Friend at the music store had another customer who just had to have a grey so he got me a red one!! Cheers Mike

Hi Mike,
I remember being blown away by the FP-8's sounds (1991)
At the time, I was playing an RD-250 and the FP seemed light years ahead of the RD.

I love that computer, was that an Atari?
Cheer, Hanon

Hi Hanon
I loved the sound too. I think the keyboard had a weird spongy feel though, I don't think it helped my hands at all. The old atari was a hoot. You had to load the programming every time it booted up, and god forbid it crashed and you had not saved your work!! Cheers Mike
