Following much speculation, Roland have unveiled their plans to relaunch their seminal 808 and 909 drum machines.
The classic electronic instruments will be combined into one (yes, one) product called the TR-8. It will form part of the company’s new AIRA range, which also includes a rebooted TB-303 (influential in acid house) under the name of the TR-3.
Check out photos of both the TR-8 and TR-3 below. The items will premiere at the Brighton Music Conference in April.
