2808.0. "MT32P experience needed" by JGODCL::LOENDERSLOOT () Wed Jan 08 1992 04:51

    Hi,
    
     I recently red in a magazine a article about the a Roland product
    called MT32P. Thsi seemed to be a slimmed version of the U220 and 
    comparable with the MT32 from the operating point of view. It seems
    to be quit cheap as well ($340). Does somebody have any experience
    or some additional information about this product?
    
    regards

2808.1Probably has nothing to do with the U-220DREGS::BLICKSTEINSoaring on the wings of dawnWed Jan 08 1992 15:5517
    I tend to doubt it's "version of the U-220".
    
    I know that the MT-32 has been "re-packaged" in a half-dozen or so
    different ways and sold to various speciality markets.
    
    For example, there's a version that is sold to Commodore users that
    is nothing more than the guts of an  MT-32 in a Commodore box (i.e. 
    the same design, size, color, as the Commodore CPU box).
    
    There are other MT-32 packages, and the MT-32P certainly sounds
    like one of them to me.
    
    You might want to look up Rolands number (there's a topic between 1
    and 20) that has the phone numbers of the major vendors) and call
    them directly and ask.
