Members liliththekitten Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Originally Posted by zoink 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. That's the kind of thing I'm hoping for from them not that I think they will do it but they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Re-Member Posted August 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 I wouldn't mind something like zoink said either, just as long as it doesn't end up being as huge as the MC-909. If it's going to be that big, they should at least add mini-keys or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the time of the "Roland strikes their {censored} back together" is nearing slowly. Not necessarily quite this year, but I can feel their {censored} is stacking up again. Soon.

Members donaldcrunk Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 i still think there is just a whole generation of management at Roland that is just rotting away in their conference chairs, completely unaware of any recent trends in the way electronic music is made. they sit, drink tea, and think of letters to put in front of the name of their latest product. also, this is a HUGE box for a desktop thing of any kind. it's going to be a whopper, whatever stupid thing it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Has anyone considered that maybe we (as in, the collective KSS "we") aren't Roland's target audience anymore? While we might still be pining for the days of yore and the glory of knobby analogs, Roland has moved on with what it thinks is the future of electronic instruments. It's like an old couple that got along great long ago, but have since grown apart. Le sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members donaldcrunk Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 a knobby analog would be interesting, but lord knows Roland won't do that sort of thing anymore. there was a point, though - not long ago - where they invented something pretty cool called the V-synth. i had that for a while. that was a nifty Roland thing, mainly because of what it could do to samples and how flexible the engine itself was. that's the sort of nifty (in the general sense) that i pine for, rather than a modern day jupiter 8 or some such silly thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of their failures at times, a fair share of the most important innovations in sound synthesis over the past 30 years were pioneered by Roland.

Members k2500x Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Everyone loves to crap on Roland (including me). So why is it that every time Roland teases something new this forum starts buzzing louder than a thousand bees around a pot of honey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
