Stuff About Roland

Roland, based in Japan, is one of the true giants of electronic music history. They created icons like the TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, Juno and Jupiter synths, each of which helped shape entire genres. Modern lines such as AIRA, Boutique, and Fantom keep those sounds alive while adding fresh capabilities. Roland’s legacy is reliability, innovation and cultural impact. From techno to hip hop to pop, you can’t escape the influence of Roland instruments.

The Important stuff

Drum Machine

A Drum Machine is an electronic instrument that creates drum and percussion sounds without the need for a live drummer. Using built-in samples, synthesis, or digital modelling, drum machines can produce anything from realistic acoustic kits to electronic beats and experimental rhythms.

They often include step sequencers, pattern memory, effects, and performance controls, making them ideal for creating loops, backing tracks, or full rhythm arrangements. Modern drum machines may also connect via MIDI or USB for use with other gear and software.

Used in styles ranging from hip-hop and dance music to rock and experimental genres, drum machines are a cornerstone of modern music production and live performance.
