More likely Behringer will copy it…

Forty thousand dollars. Same as you'd pay now for a unit in mint condition.
They wouldn't ever bother, though. Too much trouble.
I hate signatures too.

The original cost $5,295 in 1985 (last year it was produced), so, adjusting for inflation, that would be 13,720 today.
...Of course, production techniques have vastly improved since 1985, so I think it would probably be about a quarter of that (total guess, not based on anything). That would make it about $3500. ...which I think is actually not a bad guess, TBH.
But, yeah, Behringer will make a version of it not long after the chip shortage ends (so, maybe in 2023 or 2024), no doubt. ...and I'd bet that one will come in at $1800 or so. Again: TOTAL guess, not based on any facts at all.
This comment is 99% speculation and 1% Google. Keep that in mind.
Having said all of that: I agree that Roland would never bother. It's really not at ALL their style.

If Ableton Live adopts it, developers will flock to it like toddlers to cheerios and we’ll never see the .VST extension ever again except for plugins that are no longer developed.

It already has enough traction to be a success for me. Bitwig is supporting it and so is u-he and those 2 developers right there make up a significant portion of my most used music software. Right there I am going to see real world benefits soonish. A few more plugin developers and I'm pretty much set.

Would be nice to see TAL also in the CLAP club
Also would be nice if some of the Super Jupiter's (MKS80) modulation routings would find its way into J8 (or a small modulation matrix).
J8 and Diva seem to be a great team

I don't think Roland has any interested in doing an analog reissue (why give their customers something they'd want) but if they did, I think you got the price spot on. The Sequential Prophet-5 Rev. 4 is 10 voices and costs like $4,300, so I think Roland would charge a premium and could totally see it costing at least $4,999 for 8 voices.cryophonik wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 9:19 pm Roland J8 reissue: $4999

The cost to retool IR3109s would probably drive any potential price sky high anyway. They COULD buy them from System-80, but that's not a very Roland proposition, and purists would probably scream about them sounding wrong anyway.
edit: System-80's solution isn't IC level compatible, just a reimplementation in a sub-circuit using a modern OTA, so that wouldn't suffice for purists at all.
