Hi DNGmaestro,

I have checked this out but I don't know exactly what AIRA does.
Pubblicity for Roland?
the Roland Connect teaser are made from AIRA?

It's simply a name and logo that roland registred.

It says

"Effects processors; sound modules for reproducing and creating sound; voice effectors

Electronic sound effectors for musical instruments; electronic musical instruments, namely, music synthesizers, rhythm machines, and bass machines"

So this must be an indication of what's coming on NAMM.

Ah, ok, I see ...

So maybe we will get - let me dream - a successor of the Fantom, a workstation with the Name Aira,
let's say: "Aira 07" with a lot of Super Natural Sound possibilities and a lot of knobs and sliders ... and so on ...

Of course it's impossible to get anywhere near understanding what this will actually be until it's officially announced, but from the wording of that my imagination goes the direction of guitar products. Sounds a lot to me like a VG-99 + GR 55 with a drum machine and loop station built in?

If that happened...well I might be very tempted to buy one. Of course it would be hard to replace a VG-88, GI-20, and Integra 7 lol!

Thanks for posting the link, DNGmaestro!

I hope sRa doesn't find out about this. We might all be [Deleted by secret Roland agent].

Hey! I've known about this for some time now. I always know exactly what's going on! . . . Ahhh crap! Now, where did I put the info paper on that stupid thing? . . .

How about this: 'Asynchronous Impulse Response Application'?

It ´s a keyboard workstation with integra sound and groovebox fonctionnality

Seriously, I heard that Aira is the new brand name for what EDIROL used to be. So, being optimistic, it COULD mean there might be new sound modules like the 'sound canvas' models.

With a name like 'Aira', I would suggest that part of the focus would be on wireless communication between instruments and software, both for effects processing and recording, much like what they started with the Integra 7 and the IPad . . .

I like the design and I wonder if the VT3 is Roland's transformation of the VT1 from Boss.
