well shit, no more use for a zoom h4n. this new roland r-26 records 6 channels and an lcd touch screen. fuuuuuuuuck.

this new roland synth, gaia sh-01, debuted at musikmesse 2010 last week.  battery powered, virtual analog, next gen sh series board.  superb.

oldie but goodie: classic roland tr-808 in pillow form.  buy here.

dear roland jupiter 8,

you were always more colorful than the other analog synths of your era.
