Ahh, this I didn't know. In 1980, "electronic music and dance did not exist". _________________ --Howard

It's a clue.
They will mess it up, most likely!
It's an interesting development nevertheless. _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum

Guys, it's some marketing drone reading a translation from Japanese.
I bet the Roland dudes said "electronic dance music" (the genre, or set of genres), which would make their statement correct. After all, Roland did pretty much supply the weaponry for that "revolution". I don't think they're idiots. |

They are definitely not idiots, but I do think they are out of touch with the revolution they helped spark.
Anyway, my comment was a bit sarcastic and silly and should not be taken too seriously. I should think more before I post. _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum

"In 1969 a song called Popcorn was released by Gershon Kingsley and is considered by many to be the very first 'dance track' (McCurley and Flynn, 2013). "
"By the later half of the 1970s, recorded disco music began to shift away from traditional orchestration (electric bass and guitar, live drums, and acoustic orchestras), and increasingly embraced electronic instruments. "
I feel love I feel love I feel love oh I feeeel love, I feel lo o ove.

Well, you know, when it's not in magenta it can be hard to tell....

Only, it wasn't at all...
Even if there was a disco synth here and there prior to the electronic dance music phenomenon, it, as the distinct phenomenon which it is, didn't happen before the 80's, taking over from Disco which was dead by then. I was there and saw and heard it all
Anyway... A new 808, and a whole line of retro chic boxes. Why not? |

I think Roland have got it all wrong - surely electronic music was invented by Skrillex in 2010.
Anyway the green boxes look interesting! _________________ Antimon's Window

For the record, I was wrong about Roland. They have turned a new leaf and do now seem to be pretty much on the beat.
According to this CDM article they have started up an independent lab to accommodate their new direction, which sounds very promising:
Quote: | Those first four AIRA units are just the beginning. Roland has created an entirely new team called the Roland Product Group (RPG), and it’s these folks who have built AIRA. They’re not just thinking outside the usual Roland box; they’re physically in a different place. The rest of Roland is located in Hamamatsu, Japan; RPG has their own, hip office near Tokyo’s legendary Akihabara electronics district. |

Early reports I'm seeing on various forums on the TR-8 and TB-3 seem to be generally positive, even among those who say they found ways to get them to sound outrightly "digital". _________________ Current and recent work on Soundcloud
