You can not RIP-tag anything unless this device will be under around $600. I doubt that.

yeah, you're probably right.

Bet it won't do emu's a-plane filters, none of the models listed had them IIRC.

Still cool news.

Maybe they're just modelling the outputs, sorta like how Maschine does it with the SP12 and MPC60.

I'd love to have another MC-909-style machine with their new modeling tech or even the GAIA's engine in it.

But it ain't gonna be cheap ...

Ugh, modeling "the sound" of digital samplers. That's one step beyond what I can abide.

Bring on the double-blind taste tests where experts are getting coin flip results.

I think nailing the Akai MPC 60 and MPC 3000 and the Roland SP 808 is all this new box would need to do.

Plus if Roland can include an interface like the D2 Groovebox: http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/d2.php

That would be absolute win!!!!

a big hint that the news are actually true: kazuhiko gomi of roland usa just posted an old sp-1200 ad on the aira fb page. "wow, this is huuuge" (donald t.)

my guess is the new roland sampler will model the converters. some of the above drum machines are 12-bit or 8 bit. The SP-1200 and MPC 60 were both 12-bit samplers and it made drums sound huge cause of this. So roland is modeling those characters into there new drum machine sampler. first i found it odd they wouldn't include any of the S-series samplers either. As well as the Fairlight and Emulators. but it might be that the list posted is incomplete, legal issues, or they won't include all models initially so they can get some more money off you later on selling them like they did with the 7x7 kits for the tr-8.

the gearslutz insider named "the knoq" came thru with the mpc touch info first, so i reckon he's in the loop. his claim is merited. the man was correct about akai´s announcement and the product specs. I have no reason to disbelieve what the dude is saying regarding roland. so i hope all those dismissing what the guy has said will apologies if what he says turns out to be true. btw, "the knoq" seems to work for a *well known hip hop producer* (probably appearing in the first contact video). roland´s new sampler/workstation, to me, seems aimed, mainly, at hip hop people so it kinda makes sense the rumour comes from a hip hop dude. the first couple or aira products were aimed at electro people, the rumour then came from electro dudes.

This is exciting news for me actually. I love the sound of old samplers on drums.

BUT what they should really model is the volca sample, because that sounds awesome!

Met with my Roland rep today; he played dumb about the whole thing, but had a grin on his face. That says to me something is coming, but what it is I have no idea.
