ROLAND AIRA - SOMETHING NEW IS COMING - RE-BIRTH OF THE TR-808?
Posted on January 15, 2014 by Joe Stachowiak
Roland have just launched a brand new webpage called 'Aira', along with a video talking about the original TR-808 drum machine, which, although originally designed to provide backing percussion for bands, went on to have a massive impact on dance music as we know it today. For example, the subby bass drum of the TR-8 08 has been sampled to provide basslines for a plethora of tracks over the years. You'll also hear plenty of other sounds from the TR-808 cropping up in tracks, both old and new, as the TR-808's unique character has helped cement its place as one of the most iconic drum synths ever.
So... what do you think this brand new product might be?

TC ELECTRONIC ANNOUNCE DITTO X2
Posted on January 14, 2014 by Joe Stachowiak
The original Ditto pedal was designed as an affordable, no-fuss looper for guitarists. With its simplistic design, it quickly became a huge hit and now, TC Electronics have introduced the heir to the Ditto, called the Ditto X2.
The Ditto X2 features stereo I/O and a two-button interface, allowing for a dedicated stop/clear footswitch and a separate FX button. The FX switch allows the guitarist to trigger either a reverse or half speed loop effect, for getting extra creative.
