Die Schachtel, in collaboration with SZ Sugar, is finally able to make available in CD format (a deluxe 3CD boxed edition with a lavishly illustrated booklet) of the legendary vinyl-only edition of 2017, the first in a series named “K-Kybernetische Musik /Cybernetic Music” that documents the birth of Roland Kayn cybernetic music, remastered from the original analog master tapes. One of the great pioneers of electronic, computer, and instrumental avant-garde music, for most of his life, the German composer Roland Kayn (1933 - 2011) remained almost entirely unknown, a founding member of the legendary ensemble, Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, heralded as a singular genius by a small number of figures like Jim O’Rourke, who is currently curating the archive of the artist.

Inspired by the past, built in the present, designed for the future, the Roland SYSTEM-8 Synthesizer is a virtual analog powerhouse. Sonic Waveforms are pumped-out from the most powerful hardware synthesizer heart ever created by Roland.

One of the world’s most recognized synthesizers, now for your DAW. Released thirty years ago in 1987, the Roland D-50 Linear Arithmetic (LA) Synthesizer is easily one of the most influential keyboards ever made. The D-50 helped to define the sound of the late 80’s with its instantly recognizable mix of sampled attacks and synthesized sustaining waveforms (that’s LA!) plus chorus, reverb, and EQ.

Identical software replica of the iconic Roland JUNO-106 synthesizer. Possibly the most popular vintage synth with EDM producers and electronic musicians worldwide, the Roland JUNO-106 became legendary for its unique combination of incredible Roland analog sound, simple and efficient interface, connectivity as one of the world's first MIDI instruments, and relative affordability.

Throughout the early 2000s, Roland’s SRX expansion board series provided innovative tools to sprinkle fresh flavors into your synth setup. Installed directly into Roland hardware, each board contained a specialized musical world all its own. These genre-centric collections ranged from a dancefloor library like SRX DANCE TRAX to SRX ORCHESTRA with its patches of subtle strings and woodwinds.

The JX-3P software synth offers a crystalline ACB-component (Analog Circuit Behavior)-level replication of the original's signature sound. Run the gamut from classic string sounds to crushing metallic pads—this six-voice polyphonic re-creation has it all.

Studio-quality sounds direct to your daw. Become an aural aficionado with Roland SRX STUDIO's arsenal of refined sounds. 128 Patches, 12 rhythm sets, and 522 waveforms. Ultra-flexible patch parameters. Manages 128 memories as one bank. Multi-effects with 78 different kinds of effects including Delay, Chorus, Reverb, Flanger, Distortion, and more.

Throughout the 1990s, Roland digital synthesizers based on PCM sampled waveforms formed the basis of music as diverse as R&B, pop, hip-hop, new wave and film scores. Some of these sounds, originally meant to mimic acoustic instruments, became so iconic themselves that they’ve become a permanent part of the collective musical sound palette. Some say it’s the most recorded sound module in history, and lately artists have been utilizing these sounds again, in new and modern ways.

Roland Cloud presents SRX DANCE TRAX, created in the spirit of Roland's seminal hardware board with reimagined versatility. In the early 2000s, Roland’s SRX series of expansion boards were an innovative way of adding fresh flavors to your synth. Installed directly into Roland hardware, each board created a tiny genre-centric world of its own.

The TR-909 Software Rhythm Composer is here. Following hot on the heels of the legendary TR-808, Roland Cloud is proud to bring you the software adaption of one of the most recognizable instruments in electronic dance music, the TR-909 Rhythm Composer! Analog-Digital Hybrid, Before It Was Even a Thing.
