It’s pretty wild that Roland and Akai are probably releasing new machines within the same week, considering this is Rolands answer to the Akai Rhythm Wolf and Tom Cat.

Ya, I have the sp404 and enjoy it, but I didn’t get into the compact series. Age of audience matters since wouldn’t you want to capture all along the age spectrum instead of focused on a specific age group? I have a slew of boutiques whose build I love (other than usb power and 1/8" outs) and wish they built the rest of their lines similarly to the boutique lines
So with the Canadian music store quasi-leak giving us a $2500 USD price and the silhouette image showing the shape, this TR-1000 seems to be in the same market niche as the MPC-X.

Yeah, along that line of thought it seems like it will sit in the Jupiter X tier but drum and/or groove box world.

Yea true, always going to want a nice big segment - I’m not convinced they appeal to one more than the other - but who knows! They’re a bit like Akai in that they have a good combination of legacy and new paradigms - although I do think that Roland trade more on nostalgia, but as a 40 something dude that’s something I appreciate 
TR-1000 sounds substantial

You must be in my brain… I’ve been thinking and talking about this this week. I’d love a proper Roland MV (not the MV1) to use with my SP404, and allow me to fully de-Akai.

I’m so pumped for this. AIRA hasn’t released something substantial in a long time. I’m hoping for new models and FX.

Hey now, don’t forget about the SP-404A, which was a pretty substantial…paint job.

Meanwhile MPC Live 3 speculation is dead and people are left to pick over the bones of the FCC photo carcass.
