Rumor of Ver. 2.0 for BR-1600 CD

[mattkw80]

I heard a rumor that Roland will announce a Version 2 upgrade
for the BR-1600 at NAMM (which is going on now).

Can anybody verify this or comment ?

[mattkw80]

Anybody at all ?

Don't Know About That But I See A Br-900 & A Br-1200 Are Going To Come Out Soon.

I havent heard anything, but i hope they add a noise gate, and gated reverb to the unit effects.

Update :

They are going to be adding Pitch Correction to the
BR-1600. (This from a NAMM demo video I just watched
on Roland's site).

No word on when a patch is coming though.

isnt there already pitch correction in the vocal tool box??

Yeah that confused me too..There IS limited pitch correction already available. I thought maybe they were going to 'improve' it by letting you manually 'adjust' pitch problems rather than having it automatically do it. I have not been THAT thrilled with the pitch correction capabilities on the BR. Kinda funky the way it alters the voice unless you are REALLY careful with it.

I just got back from NAMM and yes a new pitch correction will be added via firmware update. The new version of pitch correction is in the BR-1200.

[mattkw80]

Any other functions or fixes in the update ?

I don't know, Roland's Phil Gates didn't have the full details from the tech heads yet.

[mattkw80]

Anybody heard anything else about this update yet ?

I've become OBSESSED !

I have to know what it does !!!!!!!

[sp_clark]

if you go to the BOSS site, and look at the BR1200 manual, based on what I've heard, the 1600 will have THAT pitch correction capability. I wasn't too impressed with what I read...hopefully it improves, but I'm not that hopeful.

Thats not enough !

I want massive action taken on major short comings of this machine !

I paid freakin $2000 Cdn for this thing, and their are comparable $1000 machines with as many features, and less dummy traps !
