The story of Mr. Ti Ikutaro was later obtained from the "marketing" promotion materials of Shanghai Lelan Electronics Co., Ltd. and the personal biography of Mr. Ti Ikutaro, the president of "New Osaka Technology Research Co., Ltd." and the affiliated company of Mr. Cheng Jiantong from Lianyungang in China.
this book is the result of translation by the relevant practitioners of ローランド (website:. tw/) of Roland Corporation in Taiwan Province. The cover of this book is as follows (for reference only, this book was planned by Mr. Cheng Jiantong, which is different from the "traditional" version I read):
However, I don't know what happened to this Taiwan Province company now, because I found another website that is different from the above-mentioned Taiwan Province website:

I don't want to talk too much.
I remember that at that time, there were my colleagues Wang Xiaodong (a keyboard player from the northeast, from whom I learned chromatic Legato) and Xu Xiaolian (a guitarist from Shanghai, from whom I "reviewed" the prelude of nirvana's cover of David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World.
This is the 5th floor of Building 2, No.15 Pingliang Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai. The whole floor is covered by Leland Electronics, and there is a room dedicated to displaying "electric piano" (however, Cheng Jiangang, general manager of Leland Electronics, thinks it is better to call it "digital piano" instead of "electric piano").
This incident gave me a great shock, and let me know that the Japanese "artisan spirit" is really not boasting. It is a top-down "practice". However, this "artisan spirit" may be destroyed by the American shareholders and so-called American capitalists of the company (our colleagues are all proud of working in "Japan Roland (the translator at that time)", but in fact, they are just employees of Shanghai Lelan Electronics Co., Ltd.)-< P > Later, sure enough, something happened to Japan Roland Co., Ltd., and Mr. Ti Ikutaro was founded by himself. Once again, another company, ATV, was founded before "dying", and Mr. Ti Ikutaro's son, Ti Yufu, also successfully got back the ownership of the old trademark "Ace Tone" registered by his father before Roland in the 196s, so "Ace Tone" is already running.
Today, I'm here to commemorate Mr. Ti Ikutaro with my own memories, because I have always been an enthusiast of "electronic music". In the virtual musical instrument made by Mr. Hu Ge, the creator of A Bloody Case Caused by Steamed Bread, I imitated my boss's classic electronic drum machine, Roland. I named it "TR 698":
{
Friends who are familiar with the history of electronic musical instruments will immediately think of TR-66 and TR.
This free software TR-698 integrates the timbres of these three classic electronic drum machines into one plug-in. You can freely choose three timbres. In addition, you can adjust the timbre "thickness" according to the filter cut-off frequency and * * * sound; You can add edging effect to the timbre; Delay effect and reverberation effect can be increased. The filter part can select multiple operation modes.
I hope I can bring you some fun.

In the future, no matter whether you re-create music products (musical instruments) or compose music, you will never forget this precious "screw".
My other virtual musical instrument products:
Why can't the music of "China" be as gorgeous as that of Europe, America and Japan (I don't know how to describe it)? It is because electronic musical instruments have a history of their development, and it is very helpful to know these histories (electronic musical instrument products and technologies) for your own music creation. Here, I will list the classic Roland electronic drum machines that my Tr698 imitated.
