That’s another thing I’m hoping for!

The first 3 released the 10th May 2022 and the S-1 Released exactly one year later. Which means… we should hear from Roland very very soon

Does anyone know something about NOA? Sounds super interesting but I couldn’t find anything on the internet. No website, no social media not even reverse image search results for their logo.

The drumbeam is back this year, finished and almost ready to sell.
It’s a bar that can detect where and how hard it is struck, sending USB or regular MIDI. It is made to be played with sticks but is sensitive to light playing. It will detect simultaneous strikes as well. With more than one drumbeam you could create a whole drum kit.
The company that sells it is called AFK Audio.
A little different from a lot of the products shown at SB, but something most here can appreciate.
Best video i found so far is the one phaelam linked, which is from two years ago. More to come for this.

There was a crazy sale on them last month, making me wonder if they were clearing out stock
Orange and blue are on Juno
I don’t think just because 1 store has sold
Out that it means it’s the end of a product. …. But there are many posts like yours so I think I have the minority view .
I’d love one but I don’t care if it sells out or not … I’d likely buy 2nd hand anyway.

I gotta say, this year looks a lot more stacked compared to 2023. Going to have a blast and hope I can demo as much as possible in a few days. ALT from Cyma Forma has my biggest interest at the moment. Kinda gives me Deckard vibes.

I’ve been hoping for a JP-8000 boutique, but I’m suspecting they’re done with those now? A compact might also be good but I’m really not sure I like the form factor, I have the T-8 and S-1 and I find them a bit fiddly so have hardly used them. Much prefer the boutique form factor but probably couldn’t resist either way if they release a JP.

i would be very surprised if they released a 3rd synth in the AIRA compact line, I would think they’d want to release something different, probably a sampler or a mini groovebox, not a mixer as I would assume this will come last or late into the aira compact line.
My guess would be a SP-X or a MC-X .
Isn’t that the T-8?
the T-8 is a drum machine based on the TR X0X models. They are not a groovebox.
I think right now the aira got 2 synths (one chord based on the juno, one poly based on the sh-101), 1 drum machine (loosely based on a bunch of TR-X0X) and one voice tweaker (based on the VTs).
Realistically I dont see them doing another drum machine as it would be somehow too close to the T-8. A third Synth would be crazy bloated at this point (2 years in a row with synth release on AIRA compact)… So that would leave a SP based on the AIRA SP-404 A or, a groovebox based on the MC-101/707 or a mixer based on the MX-1.
When you go on the AIRA microwebsite its funny how the names of some of their aira products echo the name of their AIRA compact:
TR-8 for the T-8
System-1 for the S-1
VT4 for the E-4
Only the J-6 seems to be based on something not from the AIRA line at all.
Based on the Color of each product there are still 5 products for the AIRA compact line.
Well you’re forgetting it is a drum machine and a synth in one box. The TB-303 emulation is actually better than the TB-03 in my opinion.

Its actually (imo) based on the TR-8 and the TB-3 (which is a bass synth from the AIRA serie).
So far it seems like they are kind of following AIRA footstep so I would assume a sampler/MC/mixer is very likely.
So the other big company that is not there besides Roland is Akai.
