Roland teases Aira: "the evolution of the TR-808 rhythm mach

Do you mean like this TR-707 I just got for $50??





Sorry I had to brag.

As you were...

The 707 hasn't aged well.

I don't know if the sounds can be tweaked with the Aira version because they were static on the original?

Juke, who was crazy enough to let it go for $50? That's unheard of these days.

A guy was selling it for $150 since it hasn't worked in 10 years. I gave him a bullshit story of it costing a lot for me to reinstall the old OS onto a memory chip (?) only after I'll have to resolder the magnesium transducers because of the negative polarity since it sat so long not being used.

So he said to give him $50 for it. The dumb ass had the wrong power adapter. He had a 9vdc and needed a 12vdc.

You should be locked up and accosted for robbery, sir!

I bet you saw the 9v adaptor and knew right away.

I don't get the big deal. The TR707 and 727 are in all sorts of roland gear and it doesn't sound special.

It's all about house music with those two machines... especially acid house.

DT drops a pair of aces with Voodoo Ray... Nice one!

They charge this for $95? It sounds a bit too high.
