Yeah, saw that unit on the web a couple of days ago.
Bloody Serato again. When will this crap end?

As long as we keep supporting almost every controller that comes out in the market, why is it so frustrating - and needs to be mentioned constantly - to see Serato bundled with all the new ones ?
Anyways, as we always do, this one will be supported soon.

It's just frustrating as every time I look at a new high end controller it either has Serato or Rekordbox on it.
I guess this unit isn't hardware locked then?
The dimensions of the unit are 668 mm x 427 mm x 84 mm and the weight is 6.8 kg so it's pretty big.

Yeah.it would be nice to see VDJ team up with one of the Pros and bundle something cutting edge like this...one of these days ,I hope..

What kills it for me is the fact that Roland only put four drum sounds on the damn thing!
Kick, snare, open and closed hi hat. That's yer lot.
IMO it would have been better to include percussion sounds - toms, bongos, cowbell, clave etc. so that they can be laid over the playing track (and DJs are going to be playing tracks with kick, snare and hats already there 99.99% of the time).
Roland.... if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. Just four sounds on a drum machine in 2016 is downright ridiculous.
I know other sounds can be played via the Serato sampler. I just think there should've been far more onboard sounds.

I don't get why Roland needs to play in this space, however I'm a fan of competition so... If they can make a solid piece of gear and it sells, why the hell not! :)

EXACTLY!!
I mean what about some synths and other stuff??
It is a nice idea and when and if it gets the support of VDJ ill definitely try this unit out.
Until then I think Reason running in slave mode is just fine, not even sure if that works with 8 anymore now though. Hmm have to pull out my other machine and try it out tonight.

The kermit the frog green colour is a bit offputting too ......

Well it does fit in with the colour scheme of their AIRA range.

There's nowt cutting edge here, they stuck a [limited function] 808 on a [pioneer clone] controller.
That said I would like to see what a made for v8 would look like (huge).

Well Rewire and VDJ are still broken, bummer.........
And while were at it, maybe the team can support Ableton LINK, https://ableton.github.io/linkkit

Yeah I know but I don't use Serato because if I did I wouldn't be here asking for LINK to be supported;-)

Okay guys.no big deal having a imitation 808 in there unless it can sync up good and can trigger the inboard sampler which apparently does.it will be Vdj's job to make its sampler do the same..

It's a funny unit - but I don't think I'd get any added value from it
I mean, it would be fun to play with at home.
But I don't think the happy couple would enjoy it if I start adding 808 loops on top of the first dance at their wedding...

Because if it (they can do that ) it would be like the flip funtio,but maybe I'm hoping for too much Lol...it would mean getting VDJ to really itentergrate with this.(edit talkin about a built in midi sequencer,which the 808 section has...)
