The new Roland AIRA range looks like old RadioShack/Tandy DJ Mixers from the late 80s/early 90s!!!
why didn't they emulate the style of the old units or come up with a retro styling for the range.
Although the unit + software are a piece of crap, Akai got it SO right with the MPC Renaissance. Massive influence from retro styling but also modern.
I just don't know what Roland was thinking with this new range in terms of design.
:(
- i am guessing they watched TRON recently, and thought Daft punk, Tron, techno = new colour schemeautoflavour

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!
After 4 years sitting safely in a flightcase in Sydney, i thought i would get my waldorf Q out for a fiddle today and found that most of the knobs have perished.

- saddened isnt even close
autoflavour - weird mine is really old and the knobs are in good shape.

always wanted an odyssey - ever since i saw devo back in the day
not too sure about the new version though - hopefully they'll stick to the original colour scheme
- The orange is the mkIII which was the final model, I assume that's the one they will reissue.kingsteven
- oh i get ya'... but the 'original' was the white one no?kingsteven
- yes - this scheme is the mark 2.hans_glib

This just in... the Rhythm Wolf... aaaiaioooooooooohhhh...
"The pro audio outfit has announced the Rhythm Wolf, an analog drum machine and bass synth module designed with classic sound machines in mind. There's a built-in 32-step sequencer and six MPC pads to wrangle "highly tweakable" drum sounds and the bass synthesizer's selectable oscillator and classic filter design."
And... it's $200! (apparently) I'm on the fence re: new Roland stuff but this is mine-a-line-a-ding-dong.

Also a new APC 40 MKII which is pretty nice 'n tight gotta say.
- autoflavour0
yeah, its seems that Akai decided to capitalise on Rolands lack of foresight and build something people actually want.
and for $200, the wont be able to make these things fast enough.
- that thing is a no brainer if it delivers - also separate outputs for bass x drums is a nice touchprophetone
- even if the build quality is not great, which it kinda looks like, it's a stealprophetone
- i can already see this thing getting modded out in all black with aluminum knobs, real wood, etc.prophetone
- now all we need is a demo video!prophetone
- its an analog drum machine made by Akai.. it wont be ground breaking, but it will definitely be usable and lust worthyautoflavour

On a side note. I just picked up a barely used Maschine MK1 for $250 on Craigslist. These are just as good as the Mk2s and alot of ppl boughtem and didnt use em. (make sure u get the software with the released serial number google it. its the only pain)
- I like it, but i do like the fact that it's not a standalone. Always need to have a badass computer on the side.ApeRobot

Just had one of these given to me. Obscure cheaper/basic version of a 606. Much fun!
