Digital accordion

roland_fr7.jpg imageHoly smokes! Unless God himself hands down the Science Tuba from heaven, this new Roland FR-7 Digital Accordion is going to win best product of the day, for sure. Apparently they are using something called "Physical Behavior Modeling" to simulate the bellows action of a real accordion. You can also get all the standard keyboard sounds as well as, you know, pretty much anything else you want, since the Roland has a MIDI out. And of course, the FR-7 comes with built-in speakers, so you and your robot monkey can work moon base street corners from dawn 'til dark side.
