"The OB-12 is a 12 voice synth with 4-part physical modeling synthesis. Loads of real-time knobs (22), sliders (24), and buttons (33) with a traditional layout give you fast hands-on access and control of most parameters. Extra hands-on goodies include a ribbon controller, pitch bend and modulation wheel.
Aside from great analog sounds, the OB-12 has an amazing set of hi-tech features! The OB-12 features a high quality LCD display that actually draws out all of the parameters you are changing. There are on board 5-band graphic & parametric EQ, ADSR's with delay time and double decay. An addictive Motion Recorder and manual or auto oscillator morphing for animated sounds or effects. Phrase Recorders and Arpeggiators with Independent tempo controls and 5 dedicated buttons are on-board with plenty of features and are MIDI syncable. There is also an extensive effects section that give you reverbs, delays, chorus and lots of overdrive algorithms. You'll also find digital SPDIF outputs, analog outputs, and MIDI in/out and thru."
It looks like Roland will be announcing two new synths on June 20th. On their Future Redefined website you will see a numbered list of squares with categories like Drums / Percussion, Guitar Products, Pro Video, and Synthesizer. At first I thought each square was for a different date, but I realized many had the same date. That implies each square represents a different product. There are two squares for synths dated June 20, so that tells us two synths will be announce on June 20th. Note there are four squares for Drums / Percussion. I'm guessing any drum synths or drum machines would fall under that category vs. synths, but who knows. We'll find out on May 26th for them.
