Orla Grande Theatre deck illumination

I found that my deck illumination lights (9 bulbs - concealed) running across just under the top of the cabinet were no longer lighting up. Obtaining replacements these days is like looking for hen's teeth ! but I found you can pick up the simular 12 volt bulbs from a good auto spares shop. Torpedo ...

Re: Orla Grande Theatre Organ

Hi Peter, some water has passed under the bridge since we last exchanged notes......Since then I have had a string of organs, some for a matter of only weeks, but I finished up with a Roland AT900C last year. What an organ but so technical. But in January this year my wife and I caught Covid, unfort...

Re: TechnicsKN7000.com

Thanks Hugh, I have just put a message on Facebook asking them if there is a fault ( it never occurred to me to look there ). They have not replied although late on a Sunday night I am not surprised !

Roland Atelier Registration USB stick

Hi all Roland owners, Sorry about the long explanation but it is necessary.

Has anyone written a review and compared it with earlier El models ? I had several, 70, 90, & 900, and the only complaint I had was that they never changed the rhythm section one jot, the same very basic unit through the whole range. In my opinion had they upgraded them they would have been on a...

Roland AT 80 SL expression pedal fault

Hi all you technical wizards.......... My recently acquired Roland AT80 has I think a volume fault, occasionally it will suddenly increase volume and die off just as quickly, it happens so quickly I never know if I was moving the pedal at the time.
