Looks interesting! After Roland announced some reproductions of some of their classic drumboxes, now Akai also introduces a new analog drum/bass machine with internal sequencer. Released in summer for a price of US199.99.

Does it do awesome dub wobble bass ?

I hear a lot of people are canceling there Roland TR-8 orders now ! how can Akai do this for $200..?

made in china in an automated factory with near slave labor, how else?

ALL of these consumer, mass produced products are more than overpriced.

yes Gary cheap electronics off the misery of some poor misfortune

well, it's not so cut-n-dry...
but yes, cheap electronics...

cheap electronics and free cruelty...

I wonder is it really analog or is it physical modeling?

All the press says analogue. It's analogue.

Only one set of outputs for all the drum sounds (the other output is for the bass patch)...though it was hinted that it could potentially have individual outs if you void your warranty.
