Members Re-Member Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 Taken from:http://m.matrixsynth.com/2012/08/som...medium=twitter"Now, the first prototype of one of the news coming on 8/31 arrived at the office! Sounds damn good ... More than 10 days left, then we'll reveal what it is ..."Also:http://bitley.laconicsounds.net/2012...etective-work/From the looks of things, it appears to be a desktop synth module of some sort. A new Groovebox, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zzzxtreme Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 a module which can plugin more than 1 usb midi controller would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members liliththekitten Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Groovebox or tabletop Gaia or V-synth or other virtual analog-y synth? - YES. Jupiter 8 module as the link suggests? - DNW ...unless if as it suggests, it's knobby. Analog module - WANT but not likely at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 It's the new V-Accordian rack module. But seriously, probably a new groove box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuzikB Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 It's more likely to be a tabletop/rackmount Jupiter-80 variant. I guess we'll wait and see. My hopes with them faded years ago, At least they're not doing one of their letdown-countdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members liliththekitten Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 I actually would buy a new big Roland drum machine, analog or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zzzxtreme Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 judging from the box, how big is the device? big as Vsynth XT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Casio Man Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 I some how got good vibrations from this. I have good feeling about this and it makes me very excited. I know it probably isn't V-Synth 2-3, which would be in my top-3 most wanted list, but there's still couple of slightly probable very exciting possibilities.

Members Bernard Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 So it's a Module (the letters do line up).Start's in T... seems to be an R that follows. So TR ?Roland TR-X0X Rhythm Composer were programmable drum machines ("TR" serving as an initialism for Transistor Rhythm). Surely not going back to those after their mission statements....If so these are good times for Analog Heads.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bernard Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 So to the other clues...A Jupiter80 stand without a Jupiter80A stoolA midi keyboard and midi cableJupiter Sound Module a possibility if we follow that... If like the XT (for the V) they may have added another sound engine and or vocoder to make it more saleable. Maybe more knobs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows. Putting the Jupiter 80 sounds/technology into a module would require a complete interface rethinking anyway, since so much of the the Jupiter 50/80 interface is so designed for live performance interaction, which is not what you typically get out of a module (since the keyboards are where your performance hands are, and the modules usually are not).

It's gonna be different for sure, even if mainly Jupiter80 based..That conector does look bigger than the average midi connector, but stylewise I have midi cable just like that... Maybe they are hinting Vocoder also then... LOLAlthough it could be one of the cables for the main out from the missing Jupiter80 in that shot as it uses XLRs...

Members zoink Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 It would be great if Roland made a tabletop groove machine that combined the best aspects of the V-Synth with the MC909 and MV8800. - Full featured sampler / sample mangler. - Built in VA. - Separate drum modeler (not just sample playback) like the Arturia Spark. - Touch screen. - 16 MPC style drum pads. - 24 track MIDI sequencer with 'pattern based' features. - Built in 'best of SRX/ARX' wave ROM. - 16 audio tracks straight to SSD or SD. - Lots of knobs. - HDMI out. - USB ports for mouse connection and storage. It would sell like hotcakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
