The Boom in the Room
The TR-808 arrived in 1980 to an unsuspecting and somewhat bewildered public To many at the time, its purely analog sound and range of tweakable parameters didn’t exactly deliver “traditional†drum sounds It wasn’t until adventurous musicians and producers got their hands on the TR-808 and started tweaking those knobs that the world would fully realize the sonic impact it would leave on music forever For the next three decades, the sizzling hi-hats and snappy snare, the robotic, clicky rim shot, the unmistakable cowbell, and yes, that booming bass drum, would be heard on many thousands of tracks Worldwide hits, underground classic, and entire genres were spawned Its influence is so deep that it’s been name-dropped in famous tracks, had albums dedicated to it and bands named after it, and even been the subject of a feature-length documentary film
A New Generation of 808

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.

Boutique
The term Boutique in the context of synthesizers and music production typically refers to a category of high-quality, often handcrafted or small-batch instruments that prioritise sound quality, unique design, and specialized features over mass production. Boutique synthesizers often appeal to musicians and producers who seek distinctive sounds and a more personalised instrument experience. These devices can range from analogue synths to digital models, often inspired by classic designs but enhanced with modern technology. Brands like Moog, Korg, Dreadbox, and Make Noise are well-known for their boutique offerings, providing unique sound engines, innovative modulation options, and compact form factors.
Boutique synthesizers tend to have a higher price point than mass-produced models due to their quality craftsmanship and the use of premium components. They often feature a more hands-on interface, with extensive controls that allow for deep sound manipulation, making them ideal for sound designers and musicians who enjoy an interactive approach to creating music. Additionally, many boutique synthesizers incorporate modular capabilities, allowing users to patch and connect different modules for custom setups. This trend has fostered a vibrant community of enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry and creativity involved in boutique synthesis, leading to a resurgence of interest in hardware instruments in an increasingly digital music landscape.
