The thing that astounds me about these machines is how immediate they are to use
I was very impressed, blown away
And that fatness in that bass section in the vocoder, that turned me on
It's the sort of visceral thing of being hands on that's really great
It just sounds like the real deal
as a child of the 80's, I am very impressed
I had some friends here who were a little bit like... who were die hard vintage fans
and they were looking at me like... wow, that's pretty good, yeah it's awesome
We're gonna cross via Skype to Roland R&D in Japan
Who will do a bit of a Q&A and explain the story of AIRA
AIRA means a kind of botanical word, comes from a rice plant
and a narrow green leaf
The concept is more natural and analogue and a natural atmosphere for the products
This is the background meaning of AIRA
This is for the Geeks in all of us
I won't go into too much detail but what you're actually hearing there is
(points between TR-8 and TR-909)
Ok, firstly this has all the sounds of an 808 and 909 in the one box
and you can actually mix up the patches so one kit can contain a combination of 808 and
909 sounds
