    Does anyone remember when Roland released their synthesizer contest tapes in the 80s (and I think the late 70s too)? My dad had their 8th Annual Synthesizer Contest Winner tape, which he gave to me eventually. I've since

    I think this is what you're looking for.

    No track listing though.

    I've seen thage page. In fact, I was the one who provided the FLAC and MP3 recordings he has for download on that page. (I've since made newer recordings using a USB cassette interface which I think sound better in spots.)

    I listened to bits of a few sounds and they sounded ok to me. Maybe you're more of a perfectionist than I am when it comes to music. I'm the guy who has a USB turntable so I can listen to analogue records!

    Aside from the track listing, I'm curious to find the other Roland synth contest tapes too. I have the 6th, 7th, and 8th currently.

    Have you emailed Roland? maybe they still have them lying around?
