http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE9qem7gDKk
So far we've only received teasers of this one, but we're speculating (and hoping!) that Roland are going to bring back their classic TR-808 drum machine. From the hints dropped in the video (such as the oscilloscopes), we're guessing that there's going to be some DSP involved somewhere along the line, but we've not heard anything official from Roland yet. We'll keep you updated though...
