Roland announced officially the „909-celebration day“. the rumours are over – they clearly say there will be new synths as well – that 909-thing does not necessarly mean there will be a new or old TR909, since theTR8 Drummachine already captures the TR909 ,TR808 , TR707 and TR606, but the System 8 and that Sampler could become true,… update (leaked): these are here: TR09&TB03, VP03, System 8 The Event timetable is this one: my guess – no TB or TR not in a big Aira-form maybe smaller? – but a new synth makes a lot of…

Roland SBX1 Sync Box (USB, MIDI, DIN, CV, Gate)

SBX-1: SYNC BOXis coming- they had one under the table at the Musikmesse but here is the final Aira-Addition to System 1, TR8, VT and TB3… it has 3 MIDI Ports for the obvious tasks and another 3 for DIN Sync and you can assign those 2 DIN Out Ports to clock with 24 or 48 clicks so you can use Korg and Roland DIN machines in nice sync and there is CV and Gate for analog connection as well. – so this is the first real „analog“ interfacing device…
