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.

Digital Grand

Grand

A Grand keyboard controller is a high-end MIDI controller designed to mimic the feel and response of a grand piano while providing extensive MIDI control for use with virtual instruments, synthesizers, and DAWs. Unlike standard MIDI keyboards, these controllers typically feature fully weighted, hammer-action keys, offering an authentic piano-playing experience for serious musicians, composers, and producers.

Many Grand keyboard controllers also include advanced MIDI features, such as assignable knobs, faders, and pads for controlling software instruments and effects. Some models even have wooden keys, escapement mechanisms, and graded hammer action to closely replicate the nuances of a real grand piano. These controllers are ideal for pianists who want a realistic playing experience while integrating seamlessly with modern digital music production setups.

This Piano offers high-quality piano sounds, designed to replicate the rich and expressive tones of an acoustic piano. Whether you’re looking for classic grand piano sounds, upright tones, or modern electric pianos, these instruments provide authentic and dynamic responses suitable for live performances, studio recordings, and practice sessions.
