Brand
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.

Discover hardware drum machines and rhythm instruments for programming beats, shaping electronic percussion and performing live. Models may use analogue circuits, digital samples, synthesis or a combination of methods. Compare pattern length, sequencing controls, individual outputs, effects, sampling and MIDI or clock synchronisation to choose the right centrepiece for a studio or live setup.

Products using analogue sound-generation or signal-processing circuitry, also commonly written as analog. Analogue instruments shape continuously varying electrical signals and are often chosen for direct controls, natural variation and a character that responds organically to performance and modulation.
Products using digital sound generation, processing or control. Digital instruments can offer precise recall, extensive polyphony, sampling and complex synthesis methods, often combining a wide tonal range with compact hardware and flexible modulation.
Hardware designed for creating and sequencing electronic drum and percussion patterns. Tagged products may generate sounds through analogue circuitry, digital synthesis, samples or a hybrid design, with different approaches to programming and performance.
Products that record, load, manipulate or perform with sampled audio. This includes compact sample players and more advanced production instruments with editing, sequencing, effects and storage for creating kits, loops, textures and complete arrangements.
Products with dedicated note, rhythm, MIDI or control-voltage sequencing capabilities. A sequencer records or generates musical events and sends them to internal sounds or connected instruments, often providing step programming, pattern chaining and performance controls.
