A Continuing Tradition
If you’re a longtime Roland and BOSS user, you might remember the Roland Users Group and BOSS Users Group print magazines. Each of these titles was published for over 20 years, with new issues coming out about three times annually. They were available for free at all Roland and BOSS dealers, and were also sent directly to subscribers via mail. Around 2005, both Roland Users Group and BOSS Users Group moved to the web, where they’re still going strong today.
Blast from the past
PowerOn magazines from Roland U.S. are digital versions of these two popular print mags, reborn in paperless form for easy, portable access from your iPad. Of course, the iPad format also brings a huge range of hip, modern features, including audio and video content, interactive options, and lots more fun stuff.

Sorry Joshua, we do not have an Android app. However, the web version of POWERON is responsonsive. This means that the web site resizes to any device. It looks great on my Samsung Galaxy NOTE 2, I just don’t get the app features.

PowerOn can only be downloaded from the US Appstore with a US account. Can you share the magazine with your European customers please?

I want to read the article about Dave Navarro’s Rig, but I don’t have an Ipad and I can’t read that article on the web version, is there any other way?

I’ll see what I can do. Perhaps we could repurpose the article on this blog if it’s not published anywhere else.
