Guest rasteri Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The turntable is a shitty OEM made by yahorng (same as the Numark TT250USB and the Pioneer PLX-500) and the mixer is a rebadged DIF-2S. Yep, way to reinvent the DJ scene Roland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 At least they didn't make a really big deal about it with weeks of hype, teasing and general countdown to the most exciting day of your life build-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigno80 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) I see the top of the controller is great ... if they sell individually that part it would be great. Edited September 10, 2016 by indigno80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I didn't think they'd go that far, but how weird. It looks like medium budget, generic Chinese made DJ kit, slightly awkwardly painted in the colours of the last truly great product they made... Which have a certain retro charm when applied to the original drum machine, but somehow make mid-level Chinese electronics look cheaper.To be fair, while they have made a lot of garbage over the years, they have made some more than great, in fact superb products since the 909, but these announcements were very very weak, the rumours i am hearing about the turntable are not great, all plastic and quite flimsy are two of the most worrying, so yeah, these are a disgrace to the two most important rhythm monikers (808/909) in HipHop/Dances heritage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yeah, I know mate. They just piss me off in general as a company. Mostly because they've made some of my favourite music gear ever and despite this legacy, they insist on farting around with stupid follies more often than not these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 They don't really seem to understand their own market, but unfortunately not in a Vestax "let's make fun but ultimately useless shit" sort of way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00ban Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Am I missing something here? They announced new boutique 303's and 909's https://cdm.link/2016/09/rolands-new-303-909-might-even-better-originals/ Seems like a great idea to me considering how much older ones are going for these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 They're not the same though, they're just another digital recreation of the 303 and 909. If they really want to get people interested they'd make proper analog versions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 On top of that, they are pretty much the same price as the Aira versions that are already out, that they are cut down versions of those, not entirely sure how that is even supposed to work, people gonna buy these just because they aren't green and black and have less features ??

DJ Rock Well Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Every year, Roland release some new DSP based emulation of some classic analogue gear and tell us that their previous DSP based stuff wasn't actually that great, but that the new one features modelling quite like no other, pretty much the real thing. Just wait til next year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danswift Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Talking of Roland has anyone on here used or own a Sp 505 ? There's one for sale at the moment that id like to take a look at so if anyone has any info on one id like to hear it Flex or Rock Well ?

DJ Rock Well Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Afraid not, I think Pete had one for a bit, but I'm not totally sure if I've got the right model. I these are like the SP-303 but a bit more comprehensive. Possibly worth a punt, although based on what you've said on here before I keep thinks by that one day a Roland MV would be a good fit for you. A bit more money of course, but for a non computer solution that does as much as possible they seem to fit the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Sequencer is a bit naff, but the sampler as per usual with all Roland samplers, off the chain, personally i wouldn't buy it, i would just send me the link and i shall remove your temptation for you If its the right price nail the shit out of it, you don't tend to use sequencers that much, and the sample engine itself blows chunks out of anything else in its price range.Just keep in mind that it is Smart media, and those things are getting more expensive by the day (Rare) but i can't remember if it is the 3.3v Smart media that their other devices demanded (Stupid bastard rare) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexinoodle Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 So now the hype has died down, anybody else feel like Mr Roland stood on a corner and said "Hey Mr DJ, come down this dark alley with me" and then stabbed him in the face with the xlr end of a dynamic mic.Or the short version, fuck you Roland, release a new sampler, ya wankers !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
