See that's where you are confused, I try not to indulge in super consumerism, but also base many of my purchases off longevity / 3rd party support. Obviously I didn't do enough research on Roland and my vp300i but the fact is, anything that reaches EOL/dropped support should have all barriers...

Those problems were hypothetical which I've seen multiple posts of cases that do happen. We obviously never will see eye to eye as you shill out for these anticonsumer practices. If I were to buy an older sp/vp series printer and the software is no longer made, that machine is now waste for a...

The software is no longer maintained / supported, The machines that NEED this software to run are EOL. Otherwise deemed for the junkyard once they stop selling CDs, Versaworks 6 is free to download so why isn't 5.5? Because of their backwards "proprietary agreement" You are paying multiple...

Hey guys! So recently I was doing some maintenance on my VP300I as one of the manifolds for the head were broken on the damper for yellow. Like a idiot, I disconnected the ribbon cables to the head while the machine was still "On" it was in sleep but it went right over my head to properly turn...
