Roland finally releasing evolution to TR-808

So underwhelming... 20 years too late, Roland. Maybe the System-1 is worthwile, but I doubt it.

Sounds pretty good tbh. The Point black music school TB3 vid has a decent demo

I'm liking the price! sounds alright...TR-8 seems pretty decent anyway. not sure about the TB-3. will need to get down to digital village when they get some and have a listen first hand. price point is very tempting though.

just from watching the first 2 demos I'm already sick of the sound.

Aw man, 808 state endorsing this shit?

Owww much, can't find any prices

If they go the distance with the VSTs and the plug out stuff, the system one that could be really awesome. Assuming the sounds of the VSTs are at least faithful enough, it would be super legit to have SH-101, Juno sounds (Polyphony tho), hell even 303 bass (if you can still call that a 303 without the sequencer) in that box as well, on top of having the core synthesizer in there. And, like he mentioned, if it all auto maps, that would be super convenient getting straight to the knob twiddling.

What legacy hardware is the VT-3 based on? I don't get if its supposed to be an effects box for your hardware or just for vocoder/performance stuff.

Sorry double posting because I can't edit my above post.

CDM posted unconfirmed prices here.

Holy shit these are either gonna sound like crap, or acid house is going to be the new producer trend, like Maschine sequenced trap hihats. And the scatter being "idm knob", Its like beat repeat/buffer shuffler with only one setting.

And to answer my question above, the VT-3 is based on the VP-330. Cool I'd never heard that before.

toys for todays kids

i wonder how expensive those "plug out" vsts will be individually. get yer DLCs/in-app purchases outta here, roland!

Aye, just get an AudioRealism Bass Line and a nanokontrol and you've probably got exactly the same thing at about half the price

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but this is way better for only $99.00.

Arturia Beatstep

USB/MIDI/CV Controller and 16-step Sequencer, with 16 Velocity/Pressure Sensitive Pads, 16 Encoders, and 16 User Presets.

These look absolutely awful

I'm getting the TB-3. $300! Maybe TR-8 too.

I'd rather feel like a 36 year old kid than feel like a 21 year old snob.

apparently TR-8 is £400 and TB-3 is £250.

Yes. That's a D-Beam.

:Or, how to scam EDM kids in 2014 when all the needed gear can be downloaded to an SD card for free.

it just doesn't make any sense considering how many real analog cheap-ish knockoffs have been made of the 303 and 808, not to mention things like the Novation drum station which are digital 808 emulations... but so is this. Roland really wasted a lot of time, i hope all these products bomb to be honest
