Missed opportunity regained- agaibn
Just like I could never have obtained an 808 or 909, I highly doubt I would have gotten a Roland 303 or ceven a clone- ever. But this thing... this was MADE for me. It's almost too easy to program 16/32 steps of pure 303 bliss. And there are still hundreds of sounds left in memory to freak on.

The most innovative controller of 2015
Built in sequencer. 18 mappable channels. AIRA gear all connects via USB. ANY other audio gear can be an (global FX capable) input and sync'd by MX-1 with a MIDI cable or USB. Ties AIRA together into a true performance mixer. I already called my TR8 "revolutionary," but that's the only word for the MX1 that exists: REVOLUTIONARY.

Revolutionary
For those of us not lucky enough to have ever owned an 808, a 909, a 707, or a 727... and who knows what other Gems Roland will unleash and let us fill our TR8's with, this is just ... IT! Sure, people complain and compare and complain and compare, but what's the point? We simply cannot all get original 808 and 909 machines. Cost and the sheer number of them surviving out there isn't enough to satisfy the need of the collective. This was an act of generosity from Roland. It's changed my music forever.
