Summer NAMM 2009

If they improved the MBR, I would have to afford it. I really love this thing so much. Even the BR600 is too big for my needs so I won't move up but would part with hard earned readies for an MBR with more features.

Cheers,

Nigel

A 600 is smaller in than you think in size and operates very much like a MBR
once you start using faders, theres no looking back

I have been tempted, but can you pick it up and sing into it? One of the thinsg I love about the MBR is I can take it anywhere and record good quality vox. Also, I can take it on a plane and mix things. The BR600 just isn't that portable. Altho it's a faff to do mixing, I love the fact that recording anything is so easy. No mp3 on other BRs is a big drawback for me as well.

I have a Zoom 14 track recorder (faders and all) and never got on with it. The MBR has just spurred me to do things I have never been able to achieve at home before.

Cheers,

Nigel

that zoom sounds interesting-
i take my 600 out quite a bit-and yes i have used it handheld, but you cant beat the mbr for portability

Can the 600 run on batteries?

Can the 600 run on batteries?

Yes. So can the BR-532, BR-864, and BR-900.

[Geir]

I want a new, expanded Micro with more guitar fx and more rhythm patterns!

..... yep ... me too ... and a better reverb !!! ... and 8 tracks ....

Is it in anaheim again?  Im 30 minutes away, I wonder if they would let me in?

If I had gone last year  I could have met George Fullerton

Can't wait to see what they come up with this year.

No way I'm gonna make it there though

Summer NAMM was in Nashville, Tennessee July 17-19. Winter NAMM will be at the Anaheim Convention Center, 800 West Katella Avenue, January 14-17, 2010.

The September 1 Roland product release will not be an actual show that you can attend. Rather, it's just a web event where Roland will announce the new product line at:

http://www.rolandconnect.com/

Just check the site on Sept 1 to see what new products are released.

Cool, I think its time for some upgrades to the MBR, I wonder how well they are selling?

In the scheme of things, I wonder if they consider the MBR a sucess.

The Roland UK website has the following about Roland Connect 2009:

On September 1, 2009, Roland will launch a new and innovative lineup of musical products via a unique web exhibition called Roland Connect 2009.

The virtual event will debut some exciting new products — from a professional stage instrument to desktop home-studio gear — covering a wide range of musical genres and product categories.

The site will be officially opened to the public on September 1, 2009.

Sounds like they could be planning to announce some new recorders, assuming that's what they mean by "desktop home-studio gear".

Whatever it is I wont be able to afford it

Whatever it is, I hope it isn't something I want. My wife is already a bit perturbed that I am saving for a PRS CE 24 that's gonna cost 2 grand. :/
