I really hope this is awesome. What are your thoughts?

I think it's a pretty amazing gesture toward musicians on the part of Roland and a bona fide testament to their hardware's legacies and timelessness. I do, however, wish that they'd stuck with the original color schemes.
Still. 808.

The 303 will never actually come back, the closest you're ever going to probably get is a x0xb0x unless Roland can make some sort of deal to use Moog's patented filter which they stole until Moog's patent actually went through (which is my main understanding why they haven't brought back an authentic rebuild despite the demand).

i didn't think the 303 used the moog ladder filter
though?
anyway if these are gonna be VA you might as well just use d16's excellent VST emulations

I'm paraphrasing information from a longtime 303 owner, if anything it's just nitpicking because the clones are so accurate that it doesn't even matter and literally nobody would know the difference especially after post. At the same time I can imagine that people would legitimately throw a fit a Roland for not doing a 100% reproduction of the original specs.

Where does it mention anything about the 303? I for one have always wanted a 303 and have wrestled with the thought of buying a clone...

It's speculation and hype because it just so happens to appear briefly in this Aira video so people are getting hopeful that Roland is going to bring it back.

remember the MC 303 ... lol
and the Jupiter 80
and the SH 201
roland are probably gonna produce some tacky digital poo and give it the same name as a thing people liked to try and trick you into buying it
which sucks becuase if they made faithful reproductions of the 303/606/808/909 and sold them for a sensible price they would make a killing
