^AI-driven drum machine plug-in for $59. Stand-alone and iOS versions are coming later.

Why do we need smart drum machines? Have these coders ever really considered drummers?

one part sounded like blade runner soundtrack to me...

[BoatRich]

I can't tell if it's his guitar or amp or what, but that sounds so thin and shitty? The Pedal sounds great but the dry tone is awful.

[comesect2.0]

there is no such thing as tone.

Roland D-05



"Roland announces the D-05 Linear Synthesizer, the latest addition to the growing Roland Boutique electronic instrument lineup. The D-05 is a compact reproduction of Roland’s D-50 Linear Synthesizer from the late 1980s, one of the most influential synthesizers ever produced. Combining the newly developed Digital Circuit Behavior (DCB) sound generator with the actual samples used in the original instrument, the D-05 delivers the D-50’s iconic, highly recognizable sounds with complete authenticity, backed by all the modern conveniences of the compact and affordable Roland Boutique module format.

Released in 1987, the D-50 was Roland’s very first all-digital synthesizer. Powered by the revolutionary Linear Arithmetic (LA) Synthesis engine, the instrument’s unique mix of sampled attacks and synthesized sustaining waveforms – plus built-in chorus, reverb/delay, and EQ for studio-quality polish – made it a must-have synth for musicians around the world. The D-50’s bold new sounds and beautifully crafted presets inspired artists everywhere and quite literally dominated the popular music, film soundtracks, and commercial jingles of the era. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this giant in the history of synthesis, Roland presents an inspiring recreation that brings the genuine D-50 experience to the music creators of today and beyond."

And with the new D-05 you get 64 patches from the original D-50 as well as an additional 320 factory patches (2-6 presets, with 8 banks and 8 patches per bank; 1 preset was the original d-50 presets). In addition you get 1-8 presets for your own patches. That's 712 user patches! Surely, you'll be able to share patches. Hopefully, Roland will make software for making sharing easy ...
