new Roland ARIA Compact range of modular boxes

[gumtown]

This looks interesting, especially the synth modules, with "driverless" USC C audio and midi in/out, 4.5 hour lithium rechargeable battery.
Looks like fun stuff, I wonder how well this would pair up with an SY-1000 as compact midi tone modules.
Or maybe a S-1 or J-6 module embedded into a guitar body with a fishman Tplay guitar to midi, with stereo line and USB C audio out.
Also has built in D-Beam and Motion sensor control.

S-1

Can't say I find the lack of any normal audio outputs appealing at all. Quite troubling actually. I don't understand why Roland is so obsessed with removing important things!
