This is mainly jewellery.
To be honest. I love the knobs that a hardware drum machine gives, yet they really are an item I would use rarely as I now like drum sounds that are a mix between real kits with some synth tones.
As I'm not making money out of music, my iPad does all I need it to do as I just trigger beats after making loops.
Jewellery maybe, but really much of our gear lust is based on such acquisition. Why not? If I had the spare money I would have lots of little hardware units like these just for the immense fun they bring to life. The other up side is that they are immensely more affordable for many over the cost of something made of diodes and resistors in a full metal jacket
I think this thread is notable for the lack of excitement for all the new things that Roland have released. The biggest buzz seems to be about the Tb-03 (which I personally never saw the interest in, but hey, each to their own). As the members of this forum should be exactly the kind of people that Roland are trying to appeal to, I'd say that is a pretty big miss on their part.
That guy does do superb demos though- always crystal clear, no waste, no tatty bits.
It's been a few hours now and I'm struggling to get the idea of not having one out of my head- and l already have a TB3. It's in there going- I want one, I want one, I want one- round and round all the time now.
I've had that feeling since 1994, so it's easier to just give in. Again.
I remember the shit throwing when the Aria range was released. Reports seem to suggest Roland have done quite well with sales of Aria.
When Boutique came out. The Internet was full of the squelchy sound of more shit hitting the boards. Reports would suggest they did quite well with them.
See a pattern here?
Yes- I can see a one bar pattern with bits of squelchy shit in it
That's my music summed up then
For many years I held Roland in such high regard, definitive, but to me, of late they have been average. The much sought after TB sound, that is once more in vogue probably owes more to the emulations than to the original. Only we, would argue over the difference, the average listener would probably associate an injection with TB.
As a skillful programmer, as yourself sir, why not have a go make a AU Unit version of the fabulous 303? I think that would be the Dogs Nuts.
It's tempting, but something tells me jumping in a tank full of piranhas while covered in fish-blood offers a lower chance of being ripped to shreds
Seriously though, I would not dare embark on such a mission without having a pristine sample of the real thing sitting on my desk so I can measure and compare every little detail of its behaviour. I could probably make something that sounds close, but I'm afraid people would always compare it to the real thing and dismiss it on that basis.
I would say you are 100% correct
Hmmm. Ok. Respect that. How about then, getting a copy of Rebirth? I know that when Propellerhead made that software, Roland gave them an unofficial thumbs up. You can get Rebirh on iOS, Properhead being Properhead, has really put any TLC into the iOS version(tho the VST version is free).............. Just an idea really.
I meant Properhead hasn't put any real TLC into Rebirth on iOS...... Mistype.
Rebirth and Technobox are the only iOS apps that approach the overall 303 experience. IMHO
As far as respect for Roland - don't forget the 303, 808 and 909 pretty much bombed at release. It's not like they intended to spearhead the techno/acid/house movements.
Funny thing is that we owe quite a lot to those guys on Japan. The MC-303, as hated as it is nowadays, was the first Groovebox. It spawned a completely new genre of musical instruments that still thrives - both in hardware and in software - and it introduced plenty of novel concepts. I feel it's hard to overstate how much of an impact that concept has made on today's electronic music scene.
The mc303 is why I'm still making music
I was hoping for Novation would bring out there Basstation/ Drumstation on iOS.
Sorry, I know it's not a Roland topic.
Don't think this one has been posted here yet.
I never had one but I've heard some awesome stuff on YouTube done entirely with the MC303. But a lot of people bash it.
Same with the Akai Timbre Wolf. In the right hands it sounds great. But it's trashed regularly and down to $199 USD.
Another future classic?
@brambos wont you rather get re-303, it is a recreation not a knockoff
I like it. Price aside, and timing of release, and redundancy with Aira tb-3, it is a cool unit that sounds very good at what it does.
Question: why is it so many guys seem to touch the knobs repeatedly without adjusting like a twitch, ocd thing? It's like, touch, touch, adjust, touch, adjust, touch, touch. I find it distracting. This serves a purpose that's gone over my head? Related: some DJs do a lot of exaggerated knob twisting and it drives me crazy.
I can't drop the 'gut feeling' I have about Roland releasing at least one app with ACB(Advanced Circuit Blahablaha) since all of the Buique stuff contains a derivate of the ARM CPU we have in our iOS devices...
And Bootique was supposed to be limited. But there is plenty stock out there
System-8 was the most exciting thing for me, but what I'd find really exciting is the prospect of a boutique jd800, just to see if they could pull it off in such a small space and still be playable. I love hardware synths, but not to fond of their size, however all the tiny stuff of the last 6 or so years has me contemplating getting into the game again leads be damned.
Surely a boutique 808 can't be far off, even tho it was 909 day, I always thought the 909 sucked, sound wise it reminded me of constipation, but I love the 808, it is the sound of sweet freedom.

rolandcloud.com should be launching very soon which (among other things) will be a subscription service for VST and AUs. Hopefully we'll see something for iOS come out of this.
Yah me too! i tried this one for a while http://www.soundsonline.com/composercloud and there are some nice libraries. A bit pricey for me for a whole year but i saved out a lot of sounds, hits etc in a couple months to make it really worthwhile. Great for making raw material for Blocs Wave. I will likely sign up again at some point.
One thing I don't quite understand. Being an electronic musician, or any music type person, or anything to do with the rock and roll mentality, you'd think that individuality and originality were among the things that will take you there. So why exactly is it that everyone not only wants to sound exactly the same with the same sound produced by the same instruments played in the same way, but there's an inexplicable and invisible fear of these uniform instruments being unmeasurably 'not quite' the same as they should be.
We seek perfection, but have to settle for what we've got, flaunt the imperfection.
