Cool story bro!

TR-1000 is worth the price of admission just for not having to deal with plugin activation!

Half-joking aside, Roland took a very serious stance when developing the TR-1000: https://articles.roland.com/developing- ... hm-creator

This is a FAR cry from the nightmare beta testing Akai has had in place. I'm getting a pretty strong sense of confidence with the new Roland unit. That said, these are two completely different machines aiming at two completely different targets. Is $2700 a lot of money? Sure. But I also don't criticize carpenters when they throw down for expensive tools when they know what works best for them.

Except for this one guy on r/mpcusers last week who sold his MPC for Logic because the MPC is so mediocre and only with Logic he is finally able to make the same medioc....umm, I mean great music :Sigh:

It appears that some Live 3s are being spotted in the wild. I await the firmware update that should drop along side it tomorrow round 10am EST.
