Se ho capito bene il fatto che abbia dentro i circuiti analogici della 808 e della 909 potrebbe essere un motivo che mi spingerebbe marginalmente a comprendere di più il prezzo. Sicuramente è ammirevole che Roland abbia messo dentro anche ACB per le versioni circuit bent, FM e soprattutto il sampler (sperando faccia anche live sampling). Il sequencer sulla carta non sembra male, bisogna vedere quanto effettivamente sia flessibile. Se ha qualcosa di equivalente ai p-lock darà un bel filo da torcere alle odierne proposte Elektron (la presenza del timestretching sembra fatta apposta per umilare il Tonverk).
Devo dire che all'inizio ero abbastanza dubbioso ma rileggendo le spec in effetti ci hanno davvero messo un bel po' di roba. Gli output singoli che fanno anche da trig out, gli stereo in e il doppio DIN la rendono super solida dal punto di vista I/O. Sta roba la vedremo in un bel po' di video youtube con piantine grasse di contorno. Per una volta Roland ha fatto un bel lavoro
