Vocoder, voice and string sources remain and there are inputs for an XLR microphone and optional keyboard as well. The new gear is labeled the VP-03 and like the other two members of the group, it too uses ACB technology to offer the sounds of the original instrument with a mix of synth and human voice. Last but not least, there's a new version of the VP-330 Vocoder Plus. It also packs an LED display and those handy MIDI and USB connections in the $349 package. The new TB-03 also makes use of ACB tech to harness "authentic sound and character of the original." Besides the pitch and time write modes from the TB-303, the TB-03 adds a step write option and the ability to switch between modes while a loop is playing. Speaking of the 303, the second of today's announcements is a fresh take on that bass synth. In 2014, the company announced the AIRA line with a range of devices that brought the sounds of the 808, 909 and 303 to synth and drum machine fans decades later. This isn't the first time Roland has paid homage to the TR-909. The best part? It's set to retail for $399. It also offers MIDI and USB connections for getting sounds out from the instrument to use elsewhere. The company also says that the TR-09 offers more flexibility than the original thanks to improved controls that allow for adjustments without stopping the beat. The new 909 includes a 16-step sequencer and TR-REC programming with both step and tap writing modes. The new version, officially called the TR-09, "recreates the influential hybrid sound of its predecessor" thanks to ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology according to Roland. Appropriately enough for 909 Day, the highlight of the trio is a revival of the iconic TR-909 drum machine. Roland's Boutique line of synthesizers broke from cover last fall and today the company announced three more members of the series.
