Nothing mate. Everything shamelessly stolen from GS.

History repeating indeed. Last time: Boutique 808 was imminent
This time: Boutique 909 and 303

Pictures look like the real 909/303 to me.

Look at the little Boutique style buttons on the 909.
Also, the 303 knobs are different.

Plus it's released on September 9 (9/09). We all know this so nothing new.
However, what I haven't seen anybody else comment on is it has been 33 years since the TR909 was released.
33..... 303?

Perhaps I'm stretching it here, but it certainly makes sense to release these as a bundle now given the above.

Oh and the link that you posted that I indeed did create, you will notice I was skeptical of it being true but very hopeful.

This time there are pictures....

Plus above all else, what can I say. I'm an Aira/Boutique/Roland fanboi.

So, the big announcement is another reissue of the 303 and the 909?

...but September is actually the seventh month, Septem = 7. We got it wrong these days, March 1st is the beginning of the year, if you are hardcore totally oldskool (like me)

So Roland has got it wrong

I guess I could be the Cliff Clavin of KVR (or is that then Kliff Klavin)

if it was just a 303 ... I'd be more optimistic about these being analogue. If they were going to do some analogue re-issues, I'd imagine they'd start with one simple unit and progress from there ... Like Korg... but unlike Behringer, who went balls deep up in this

I can't see it being analogue. They just spent several years (presumably) "perfecting" ACB. They have a little way to run (aka milk) it yet.

So they make a virtual analog reissue of the 303, just to make another virtual analog reissue of the 303? Man, i knew that japanese guys are weird, but that's uber weird now.

You are right. The knobs could have been replaced, but there is an extra button. Probably some special edition. This will be more expensive than the regular AiRA stuff, no doubt.

I'm hoping it is a pancake machine with squelchy 303 knobs.. and a waffle iron with authentic sampled hi hats and claps..

Well.. Definitely understand all the Roland bashing. It's been a loooong time since they were a contender in my book.

But.... They'd have to be totally retarded (a possibility) to not take into consideration the ruckus that korg was able to stir up with the minilogue.

But yea, that's a distinct possibility. Did sega wise up when Nintendo made the SNES? No they made the sega cd and 32x *facepalm*
