I really don't know why Roland keeps this guy on, he uses words, but doesn't actually say very much :rolleyes:
Sounds good, but I really wish they hadn't gone with the Aira format for this. Fiddly little knobs. Works for the JU-06 because there's not a lot on there, but the rest are a bit of a pain to use.

Oh FFS, absurd hyperbole much? :rolleyes: :haha:
It does look and sound nice and, if the $499 price tag I've seen is correct, it will definitely be a winner.

That's really ing nice and if that is only $499, they'll sell like hotcakes.
I get why they went aria - it's probably cheaper for them to stay in that R&D area and it's not alienating all the other people that bought arias. Roland need to sell a lot of these as they're not high margin items so keeping the price and format down is the trade off. It's also somewhat portable. if the sequencer is any good, I may get one myself.

Sounds pretty good, you can write sounds for a multi range of genres. Kinda miffed that Roland released Boutique series TB-03 & TR-09 shortly after I bought a AIRA TB-3 & TR-8 -- but those do a lot more than just emulate exactly their original counterparts. I may pick up a TB-03 down the line just to have a more 'authentic' 303 experience.

Price makes this easy to buy but it doesn't seem to sound that different to my JDXA so I will give this a miss unless I hear something that changes my mind

True, and the JXDA has a lot more options, but for anyone not having that then it's $499 vs $1700.
I will say I'm loving the look of that step sequencer. I really hate having to do all the workaround steps with NRPN's for my electribe.
