8 bit sounds with Roland A-01 for 94€

Post by Marco »

I bought the incredible Roland A-01, this has a 8 bit sound Generator inside, monophon but very cool.

For the sensational price of 94€ I bought this little pet.
No long aviable anymore, normally price was 369€ and uvp was 407€.
So I think that was a no-brainer for me.

Can be used as controller cover gate to Midi and Bluetooth to Midi converter for iPad.

Nice tool indeed !
Great MIDI implementation ...
Is the mini-keyboard usable for step sequencer MIDI-note & gate-length input ?
Sad there´s no audio over USB !
I understand one has to use the haedphones output for the 8-bit synth audio,- right ?

Yes you must use the headphone jack. Audio via USB is not compatible with scope, so I give a shit. But I like the easy way to use and the fucked 8 bit noisy sounds. This 94€ machine is the cheapest synthesizer I ever bought. I saw it for 369€ now it is blow out for 94€. A no brainer.
