Roland TR8s

Ah well! Back to the waiting line for Behringer Drum Machine..although save for teasers from Uli I have no clue what size, shape or form that will be. Or when.


Until then..

These two issues clearly have to be fixed by Roland:
- short audio drop outs when changing kits in a sequence
- timing issues when moving 5+ sliders at a time.

It's very simple: fixing this fast or not will be the difference between
- the first really convincing overall Roland gear design since quite a long time
- and falling back to "building another Roland", making that negative expression even more proverbial than it already is.

They have a fair chance to make this an overwhelming success, and I wish them not to miss it!
