History of Roland Sample Cd

History of Roland, by Discovery, brings us all the classic synths originally produced by the company Roland.

Like no other electronic music company in history, Roland has always been innovative and on the cutting edge of technology. Even in the days of analog only synths, Roland consistently brought to the market a large number of synths that eventually became classics. Discovery has solved the problem of where to find all of these in working order and how to do so inexpensively. This disc includes the Juno-106, Juno-6, SH-1 / 2, SH-101 / System-100, RS-09, MC-202, MKS-80, Jupiter-6 / 8, VP-300 vocoder and a special section of wonderfully conceived phrases that combine all of these. History of Roland is available in Audio CD, Kurzweil CD-ROM (History of Analog) and as a Akai CD-ROM. Listen to what the review team at Electronic Musician has to say about Discovery's History of Roland:

"The JUNO-106 has some wonderful swirling patches and squelchy percussion. Very useful 106 pulse waves and a great collection of 106 phrases. They’re skillfully played and programmed. There’s plenty of raw material here if you’re in break beat mode! The Jupiter-8 is well represented with some sparkling resonate sweeps, hard-edged decay tones almost like steel drums, and also strings and brass. The MKS-80 offers hard sync patches mallets and some neat chord stabs. Not everyone has access to vintage synths. Discovery’s History of Analog offers a peek into the analog past."


If you are a producer from back in the day this sample cd will really bring you back.
This is something you would be proud to have in your collection.

A fresh new approach to percussion that will leave your audience breathless.

If you’re looking for a new way to inject rhythmic force into your music, and want to avoid the traditional drum and percussion instruments, perhaps it’s time to consider another of beat-making. On “Voice Percussion” you’ll hear human beatboxing at its best. Drop these breathy beats into your tracks, or build your own with the range of vocal “instruments” offered on this unique library.

Listen to a sample of the voice percussion mixed in with some background music. The possibilities are endless.

Sample CDs; What are they??

Some of might be wondering what that term/keyword "Sample CDs" are. Try doing a search for it on Wikipedia and you get nothing of useful knowledge (which is rare for the Wikipedia guys).

Basically before there were "Sample CDs" there were floppy discs which store music and sound files for midi transposers and composers. This was back in the day when sound design was not so "high-tech" compared with today's software. Eventually technology evolved, software became more user friendly, and the CD became the wave of the future.

Simply put "Sample CDs" are music files and sounds (or bits and pieces of) stored on a CD/CD-ROM in various formats which can be used to create any kind of music from BGM to simple jingles that are commonly used in radio and television commericals. Not to mention toys, games and yes, even movie sound effects and music scores.

Some of the most commonly formats used today are Acid, Rex2, Kontact, Battery, RNS, Match5, and of course WAV and traditonal audio. Now just because you buy a sample CD doesn't mean you can use it. If the Sample CD is in any of the above formats you may need the proper software to open and manipulate the files. One of the most popular softwares used by sound engineers today, but not limited to is ProTools.

So if you thought Sample CDs meant getting a sample of someones music you were not completely off, but not completely on either. I would love Wikipedia to really go into dephth on the subject because is a term that is commonly used today by music producers and sound designers alike.

Discovery Sound has been in the music sampling business since it first started and over the last 10 years have been making and distributing sample CDs throughout the world. Discovery Sound is renouned for its World and Ethnic Sample CDs world wide.

Who would of thought that Japan would be such a power house in the music industry.
