Roland hinting at new gear this weekend?

You can’t save a patch. You can save a pattern with a patch, and then, if you want to recall it, you find that project and pattern and copy the patch from there.

Personally, I’d prefer it not to have any analog voices. I’d rather have 8 assignable ACB voices that can be used for either synths or drums. That alone would turn it into a killer machine. Oh, and add the System 8 engine, while we’re at it, but more modulation for it and for the ACB voices.

What?! Really! Sauce?

Cool if true, but also more expensive than my car. I’d prefer them to stick to ACB.

I had the same thought – unfortunate naming clash if true!

Nothing about it anywhere I can see. I hope that’s not AI slop.

46GB hey? Lol

That’s the actual specs for the TR-1000 so not probably no so “LOL”!

I think I’d like it to be AI slop lol. I’d definitely pick 8 ACB voices over 8 analog voices.

Hmmm I’m not sure just 8 total tracks could be considered “a true all-in-one production and performance instrument”

I’m pretty sure they want you to own both a TR-1000 and an MC-XXXX! :money_mouth_face:

Colour screens please.

Oh, my bad! I haven’t been watching the TR1000.

That spec sheet does sound pretty banging tho. I have always wished that Roland had pushed the MC 707 a little further.

Anyways, @Monopete, tell ChatGPT to add a looper to this device.

Haha but then why include all the ACB drums in the MC??

Probably the same reason they included drum synthesis on the MC-707 while also developing a TR-8s.

I’m pretty sure this is all made up but…that “breakdowner” thing is giving me pause

That’s an oddly specific thing to make up

Fair point

For the “digital engine” to only be pushing recreations of Roland classics would be a big fumble. No current-day MC should be without up-to-date Zencore sounds.

I’m always confused about all this ACB and Zencore stuff.

I thought ACB was supposed to be the more powerful of the digital modeling approaches? Or is that wrong / incomplete?

Yea the whole thing with their modern devices/sound generations is very convoluted, i saw it explained on GS recently and was confounded why it was so fragmented and confusing… Just roland being roland i guess. :person_shrugging:
