There is a Tom Lee HK store, dunno if that price could be HK dollars? The SH-4d is $3,999 there.
If itās not peak Roland (an accordion loaded with D-Beams), I donāt wanna know about it.

Now you know a possible reason for TV getting released when it has.
Roland be like āoh you want an analog drum machine that can live up to the TR of old do ya?ā¦ there you go Ā£3.5k. 
Itās gonna be as much or more than the other premium new machines in production: Jomox, Mordor, Soma, Erica Synths and Elektron.

I saw the TR-1000 in Japan last week from an electronic musician who involved in the design (he also helped design the Aira series). Itās a grey alloy chassis with plenty of faders and knobs. It has analog, digital and sampler with multiple outputs. Connectivity wise, it has CV/gate, midi, dinsync and USB. Too bad I havenāt listened to it but it seems to be positioned as an ultimate drum machine/workstation.
