Rumours: Roland Boutique TR808/909 TB303?

Es gibt ein Gerücht, welches via Kommentar (in „Audulus 3″) eingegangen ist, nach dem es die bekannten Drummachines TR808 und 909 evtl als Boutique-Versionen geben könnte, also klein aber mit voller Funktionalität – ebenso trifft das für die TB303 zu. Ob das stimmt? Wissen wir nicht. Aber – möglich wäre das als limitierte Auflage. according to a post in the comments – another speculation is possible: Roland´s 2nd batch of Boutiques will be TR-909, TR-808 and TB-303! Roland engineers (in fact it is just a wish of someone): “EXPECTATIONS FOR THE…

MAM MB33 TB303 Synth kommt zurück

Der kleine MB33, ein TB303 Clone vom Macher und Namensgeber des Schmidt bringt den reinen Synthesizer-Teil der TB303-ähnlichen Klangerzeugung als kleines 139€-Kästchen wieder zurück auf den Markt, es gab „damals“ schon den MB33 in einer etwas anderen Form aber auch ohne Sequencer, weshalb er auch so günstig sein konnte. Er hat einen Steuereingang für die Filtersteuerung und MIDI in für die „Töne“ (Noten). a simple and cheap TB303’ish synth without sequencer by the Schmidt guy (formerly = MAM = Music and More) will be back for 139€ at Thomann – -> MIDI in with analog Filter…

Roland AIRA – rebirth of the TR808 and more TR / TB stuff + Voice Transformer VT3

it’s this video which makes us think it will be the classic TR/TB coming back as analog or analog modeling machines – it’s just the end of this clip … NAMM is coming – so be prepared  aira looks like some of the a’s are for analogue? on of the names is TR8 or TR9 .. and some more melodic below – mc202? tb303? or a full real multi track thing incorporating some more and without the „you need to stop the sequencer when editing“ problem of the MCs..? good idea,…
