Hi All,
Welcome to the first blog from PMT Norwich. My name is Dan Henry and I am the Roland Product Specialist at the store. Things are always changing in this business as new products are launched and as new technologies are developed and we have some exciting changes a foot at PMT Norwich.
First, we will be stocking a brand new range of PC & Mac recording solutions in the form of the new Cakewalk range of Midi controllers, audio & midi interfaces (formerly Edirol branded products ) and a new DAW to us, Sonar, to add to the existing trio of Cubase, Protools & Logic.

The product I am most excited about is the new Cakewalk VS100. It is and 8 in 6 out audio interface that works with any DAW though it does come with a really cool Sonar bundle. What's awesome about it is that if you add a SD card you can use it as a stand alone hard disk recorder with in built effects! I've already ordered one and am awaiting delivery.
While trying the VS100 I got to use Sonar producer 8.5 which was very easy to use and had some great features. A simple step sequencer was available to use on any of the wide variety of soft synths meaning programming is a breeze if, like me, you can't play very well. I was particularly impressed with the soft synths Dimension Pro & Session Drummer.
There are other great products in the range and we will have demo models of all of them on show any day now. If you are interested just contact either myself, or our hi-tec specialists Barry Campbell or Dave Otterburn on 01603 666891 or pop into the store for a demo.
We also have now received demo stock of the following Roland products;
