Roland New Product VIP Launch in NYC

Today we got to see Roland's new product line that they announced on #909 Day! Featuring collector's edition 909 turntables, System 500 Modular synth, DJ-808, TD50-KV drum kit, Aerophone AE-10, Boss pedals, VP-03, TR-09, & TB-03.

Interesting news is that the DJ-808 is an official Serato controller that ships with Serato DJ. Pioneer is no longer paired up with Serato in favor of their proprietary software, Rekordbox, which is sure to give Roland a running start in the DJ space. It features a 4-channel mixer, built-in drum sequencing, vocal processing, and AIRA Link ports which allow you to connect compatible synths via USB. Going way beyond a typical DJ controller, the DJ-808 is an instrument, with a Roland “TR-S” drum machine that contains the world’s most iconic drum sounds and can even control the Serato Sampler within Serato DJ. The VT Voice Transformer can pitch your voice to match the key of your Serato DJ tracks. This is sure to push the boundaries of what you're capable of within a DJ set.
