Pic spotted on sequencer.de
In front of the eurorack system you can see what appears to be a currently unknown Roland Aira desktop module. If you zoom in it gets blurry but you can see what appears to be knobs on the left and sliders on the right much like the center front panel for the System-1 keyboard. What's off are the bottom and top row. Time will tell. Hopefully we'll know what it is by the Musikmesse.
Update: Some are speculating this could be analog with patch points to interface with modular systems. That could explain the top row, however, note that Roland's first foray back into the analog world is with the JD-Xi which is not part of the Aira line. This desktop has the Aira green styling which implies it will use that technology. There was a NAMM demo for the JD-Xi where the presenter was asked why it wasn't part of the Aira line and the answer given was that it used different technology than the Aira line, and Roland did not want to confuse the two. It will be interesting to see what this new desktop ends up being.
