Roland synthesizers are renowned for their pioneering role in shaping electronic music, known for their innovative designs and iconic sounds. Since the introduction of the Roland SH-1000 in 1973, the company has consistently pushed boundaries in synthesizer technology. Legendary models like the Jupiter-8, Juno-60, and TB-303 helped define the sound of genres such as synth-pop, house, and techno. The TB-303, in particular, became the backbone of acid house, with its distinctive squelchy basslines. Roland’s early synthesizers were known for their warm analogue tones and intuitive interfaces, which have cemented them as favourites among musicians and producers worldwide.
In more recent years, Roland has continued its legacy with the introduction of digital and hybrid synthesizers, such as the versatile JD-XA and the System-8, which incorporates the company’s powerful ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology. This innovation allows modern Roland synths to faithfully recreate the sound and behaviour of their vintage counterparts while offering new features and capabilities. The company’s synthesisers are highly respected for their quality, reliability, and versatility, making them a staple in studios and live performances alike. Whether producing lush pads, punchy basses, or evolving soundscapes, Roland synths have been at the forefront of electronic music for decades.
Accordion
An accordion is a musical instrument known for its distinctive, bellows-driven sound. It consists of a keyboard or buttons on either side and a central section with expandable bellows. The player creates music by compressing and expanding the bellows while pressing the keys or buttons, which opens valves to allow air to pass through reeds, producing sound. Each key or button corresponds to a specific note or chord, and the bellows’ motion controls the volume and expression.
Accordions come in various types, including the piano accordion (with a piano-style keyboard) and button accordion (with a button-based system). They are commonly used in folk, traditional, and popular music styles across the world, particularly in genres like French musette, Argentine tango, and polkas. The instrument’s portability and versatility make it a popular choice for solo performances and ensemble playing.
BLACK
This features a sleek black finish, offering a classic and timeless look that fits seamlessly into any studio or stage setup. The black design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also complements other equipment, giving your setup a professional and cohesive appearance.
Compact
A compact synthesizer is a smaller, more streamlined synth designed to be portable and space-efficient without sacrificing essential features and sound quality. These synthesizers are typically built to have a reduced footprint, making them easier to carry around or fit into limited studio or stage setups. Despite their size, compact synths often include a versatile range of sounds and functions, such as multiple oscillators, filters, effects, and sometimes even sequencers or arpeggiators. They are ideal for musicians or producers looking for a capable instrument that can be easily transported or fit onto a crowded desk or stage rig.
Compact synths might feature mini keys, knob-based controls, or even touch interfaces to maximize usability within a small form factor. Popular examples include the Korg microKORG, Roland Boutique series, and Arturia MicroFreak. They are designed to balance functionality with convenience, offering musicians a way to explore creative ideas without requiring a full-sized, heavyweight synthesizer. These compact designs are often well-suited for live performers, travelling musicians, and home studio producers who want a versatile instrument without taking up too much space.
