Roland AIRA: The Next Step for the TR-808

Without giving too much away, Roland have announced the evolution of the original TR-808 rhythm machine will be called AIRA. Check out their teaser video to be suitably teased!  

Details are thin on the ground at this time (well, it wouldn't be much of a teaser if they weren't).
