Fair point

Yeah, I am pretty keen on the J-6 to sequence chords to other gear, it’s so tiny for what it can output also.

143

Oh wow it can sequence other gear? If so, I’m sold!

Yeh I was hoping it allowed users to switch between any sound from the 909,808, or 606. Feels like it could be added with a shortcut.

Seems it could offer a simplified but way more immediate way to get the ‘accompaniment’ type tracks you find on older things like QY-70s.

Has an intended release date been mentioned? I just skimmed the thread here but didn’t see anything.

So Roland… Are you gonna release a small (MX-1 type) compact mixer?
Cause yeah… Would love a tiny USB hub/mixer for on the go.

Call me! :kissing_heart:

Think you have to pre order now if you didn’t already and want it asap. They’re probably start shipping within a few weeks or so.

Just pulled the trigger on the T8 for this exact reason! it’s a tiny, battery powered ACB 303 that happens to also have some ACB x0x drums inside too. i have both TD3 and TR8S, but both are too big for my liveset rig alongside everything else, and also require PSUs.

for 200€ this is a no-brainer.

Really hope that an update will include other drum sounds in the T-8, a full 606 kit would be nice :slight_smile:

i have an MC707 and TR8S that i run into my OT, i think the E4 voice box will work out for me, real good…

155

i would prefer if they made a better version of a volca mixer, because i think we all see a huge room for improvement. think if roland put a usbc on an 8 channel mini mixer… holy shit…

& I’d probably pay if it included 707 again

You know I wouldn’t put it past them :joy:

For someone just starting the T8 would be a cheap entry. Also handy to match up with a Eurorack system to supply drums and a bass line. I’m most interested in the E-4. But honestly, if you buy the T-8 and J-6 you might as well pay a bit more and get the MC-101.

I don’t know. The new little ones seem a little easier to navigate than the MC101. I personally didn’t like that thing
