Roland Aira? What do you think?

Well, the new AIRA series was released today after a lot of buzz. I really like them, even though they are not analogue. Sounds pretty close the real deal, and the new System 1 seem interesting. However, a TR8, thats the first I guess;)

    Well, all the "analog" snobs at Gearslutz already hate it....without even trying it!

    any word on priving of all these different devices?
     
    I am always a little leary when the words Roland and new hardware are said together.  Roland hasn't had the greatest track record of late.
     
    hopefully they put a lot into these devices and they are great and useful.  wait and see I guess.  SYSTEM-1 looks interesting but until I can do hands on demo, I'll hold out judgment.

    yikes.  I think I'll wait for black Friday or Christmas and see what the reviews say and support is looking like.

    My TR-8 not in yet but to have a little peace of history in a new box...that in it self is worth the money.

    Only space-aliens from another planet may like it perhaps.
