Plus, if it is a groove box, Roland is due for an update, and they pioneered the whole genre. When it comes to Roland, we're like trailer park wives, and Roland is the abusive husband we defend for the times he's good to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 It's a groovebox. Gotta be a groovebox. And if it is, and if it doesn't SUCK HARD like the MC-808 did, I'm interested.Curse you, Roland, for getting my hopes up again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bernard Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 I recall Nick from Sonic State on a post NAMM pod cast a couple of years back saying, no more Roland groovebox's after hearing two Roland Execs chatting in private... However we can always hope...I think Roland would want to do something that has stronger production capability for a new beat box, so may be they are just waiting for the right technology and ideas to make a must have item... Nick mentioned the two execs just were not into that type of music, so where there is no heart... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Wait... so the XX-XXXX isn't considered a groovebox? Huh. If it's related to an XX-XXXX, though, I might still be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zoink Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Originally Posted by The Audacity Works It's not; sorry. Maybe it's a VA module. Touch screen interface, lots of sliders and knobs. That would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bernard Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 So to add yet more confusion, here is a leak of another Roland product (keyboard) that clearly will not fit in a smallish squarish box so has nothing to do with the OPs pic but is something new on its way:Fast forward to 5:47 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members liliththekitten Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 Not a new MV? If XX-XXXX = JP-8080, I'm interested for sure.things the T could stand for:1. Terra - Gaia module, only better.2. Titan - moon of Saturn, not Jupiter though.3. TR-1000 not likely but want.4. TB-606 not likely at all5.

Members raffor Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's really sad when a CASIO synth gets me more excited than any Roland release of the last couple of years! ...wait, it did in the mid 80s too!! Midi multi mode that I could buy with a CZ synth!!!!Anyway, I do not have to wait for Roland when Arturia is taking over now. I hope the Minibrute is just the beginning.

It's been a while since I looked at their mission statment.. Some how I doubt they have stripped away digital and written analog... It would be nice but I think we will all win the lottery before that happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Re-Member Posted August 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 I hate to be a buzzkill on a thread I started, but it most likely won't be a Groovebox. I always keep the boxes for my gear in case I want to sell it later (makes packing easier) and found the box for my MC-505. For custom purposes, it's listed as a "Music Sequencer" It has "Module Sequenceur" below it, but there's no foreign description that begins with a "T" on the box. Then there's this pic of a rack synth that Roland calls a "tone module." The foreign custom description matches the pic Roland leaked out. 99% certain it won't be a new Groovebox or drum machine at this point. It's probably just a rack version of the Jupiter 80 as speculated, or a "Sonic Cell" type version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cresshead Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 i'm 99% certain that no one on this thread 'knows' what roland is releasing!....pics or your just pulling dreams/nightmares out of your ***! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
