I also heard the rumour about an AIRA sampler a while ago...
On the moment I don't think it's nothing more than that....a rumour.

Roland US posted a picture of the TR808 - maybe a new Boutique TR-808?

It turns out that none of the rumors had any truth in them.
The first thing I did this morning was to check the Messe news.
I might as well not have bothered...

If this information is correct, then it comes close to the ACB synth I imagined.
I am very curiuos about the details of this instrument.
This could easily be my next purchase

I've studied the System-8 by drawing what is known about it.
I'm pretty sure I want one.

I sure hope that this time more than 8 sounds can be stored on the hardware. One of the major drawbacks of the System 1. There should be at least 64 sounds for storage.

It looks like you can store 64 patches.
The same as the System-1 by the way.
