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.

These sounds don't just pop up anymore. A true classic.
