WAS IT WORTH IT?

Last week i talked about Roland releasing some new product or products (Aira). Well Roland having finally announced what Aira is. Its 4 new products.

 

  • TR-08 - A drum machine that blends the sounds of the TR-808 & TR-909.
  • TB-3 - A bassline that recreates the TB-303
  • SYSTEM 1- Plug out Synth
  • VT-3 - Vocal Transformer

So were these products worth the hype? Yes & No really. I mean they all recreate what Roland have done in the past.

  • The TR-08 is digital. Looks very nice & does sound good & certainly going to be cheaper than the original. Would i like one? Ok yes it would be nice. Honestly not essential right now though

TB-3 - This recreation has been brought up to date with a touchscreen. It is also a usb midi interface (Quite handy). Again looks nice & will be cheaper than the original. To be honest im not sure whether having a touchscreen was the right thing to do. Hmmmmm!

SYSTEM 1- Now, What's this mini synth then? This looks interesting. A plug out synth. It only has 25 keys. A synth/keyboard & controller for computer software recreating classic Roland synths which you can load onto the keyboard (Hope that makes sense). I will probably look at this more in depth when it is released.

VT-3 - It contains the usual effects: Vocoder, Robot, Autopitch etc. However, it does not have an external carrier for the vocoder, which is a shame. I have to say the VT-3 is a bit disappointing. Out of the 4 this to me is the weakest link.

What do you think of these new products? Any favourites? Have Roland done right in recreating these classic synths/voice transfer?

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
