My local music store (8th St Music) had one on display for quite some
time. I
played around with it quite a bit and was amazed at it's capabilities but
at
the time i didn't have the $$$ for it. Eventually it was discontinued and
sold
briefly after that..
What's interesting about this new Roland unit is it has midi OUT. 15 pads,
two
ribbon controllers, and the Dream is there as well. This could be a very
interesting alternative controller along the lines of a budget Butler
Thunder
(which obviously is a very different creature but the initial triggering
issues
are similar).
I don't know *why* Roland is doing this though. How big is the market for
such
a creature (priced at $1100 list no less) when the wavedrum died so
quickly and
the groovebox romplers are selling like hotcakes.
Personally I'm hoping they show up used quickly... :)
