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.

Explore hardware synthesisers for sound design, performance and music production. This collection includes analogue, digital, hybrid, FM and wavetable instruments in keyboard, desktop and modular formats. Compare the synthesis method, polyphony, keybed, sequencer, effects and MIDI or CV connectivity to find an instrument that fits your studio, live setup and preferred way of creating sounds.
Tags
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.
Instruments combining analogue and digital sound generation, control or processing. A hybrid design may pair digital oscillators or control with analogue filters and signal paths, aiming to provide modern flexibility alongside the behaviour of analogue circuitry.
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.
Products centred on electronic sound generation and synthesis. This tag brings together keyboard, desktop, modular and performance instruments that create or substantially shape their own sounds rather than serving only as controllers.
