Silent Member Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 So underwhelming... 20 years too late, Roland. Maybe the System-1 is worthwile, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Toffer Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Sounds pretty good tbh. The Point black music school TB3 vid has a decent demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm liking the price! sounds alright...TR-8 seems pretty decent anyway. not sure about the TB-3. will need to get down to digital village when they get some and have a listen first hand. price point is very tempting though.

rddm Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 If they go the distance with the VSTs and the plug out stuff, the system one that could be really awesome. Assuming the sounds of the VSTs are at least faithful enough, it would be super legit to have SH-101, Juno sounds (Polyphony tho), hell even 303 bass (if you can still call that a 303 without the sequencer) in that box as well, on top of having the core synthesizer in there. And, like he mentioned, if it all auto maps, that would be super convenient getting straight to the knob twiddling. What legacy hardware is the VT-3 based on? I don't get if its supposed to be an effects box for your hardware or just for vocoder/performance stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rddm Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Sorry double posting because I can't edit my above post. CDM posted unconfirmed prices here. SYSTEM-1 is really a synth/keyboard, not a modular (despite the name). It’s a new synth, but it’s also a controller for computer software modeling vintage Roland synths, and you can load those models onto the keyboard. Because you can load those models from software onto hardware, Roland dubs it “Plug-Out Synthesizer.” Price: US$599 – ish. TR-8 Rhythm Performer. “Full reproduction” of both the 808 and 909, promising not just the sounds but details in behavior (like what happens when you have multiple instruments in accented steps). Price: US$499 – ish. TB-3 Touch Bassline. Think a component-modeled 303 with a touch pad and new step sequencer. Price: US$299 – ish. VT-3 Voice Transformer. It’s probably gotten the least attention, but this could be a big seller at this price. Multiple effects in one box: vocoder (a la VP-330), glitch, lo-fi, robot, auto-pitch, and voice-controlled synths. Price: US$199 – ish. Holy shit these are either gonna sound like crap, or acid house is going to be the new producer trend, like Maschine sequenced trap hihats. And the scatter being "idm knob", Its like beat repeat/buffer shuffler with only one setting. And to answer my question above, the VT-3 is based on the VP-330. Cool I'd never heard that before.

mcbpete Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Aye, just get an AudioRealism Bass Line and a nanokontrol and you've probably got exactly the same thing at about half the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 it just doesn't make any sense considering how many real analog cheap-ish knockoffs have been made of the 303 and 808, not to mention things like the Novation drum station which are digital 808 emulations... but so is this. Roland really wasted a lot of time, i hope all these products bomb to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
