Roland S-1 Tweak Synth - "Roland S-1: A Compact Digital Powerhouse With Plenty to Offer"
It was hard to believe how much functionality was packed into such a compact unit, especially at that price. The sound was excellent—clean, with no noise. It’s not analog, but you wouldn’t guess it f…
Roland GC-405 - "Clean as"
Picked one of these amps up cheap, its clean channel is awesome. It's surprisingly loud and has very little to no his or hum at full volume. It says it's 32W on the back. The 4x5 speaker setup is …
Roland JD-Xi - "Excellent synth!"
Includes drum machine, analog monosynth, and 2 digital polysynths. A great machine for creating ideas, jams and for getting that classic Roland sound. :bravo: This is the only Roland synth that us…
Roland RD-600 - "RD600 great sounds"
I love the RD600 but the weighted keys tend to break, especially as the plastic gets older. It's an easy fix and I've bought a box of spares, that's how much I like the instrument. I've also been a…
Roland Fantom G8 - "I couldn't live without the Fantom, it is now a foundational part of my music."
I couldn't live without the Fantom, it is now a foundational part of my music. Having a vast array of instruments, this is the one that adds so much. My first one died and I had it repaired a coup…
Roland R-8 MKII - "The greatest Roland Digital Drum Machine."
The depth of the sequencer and the punch of the sounds make this an absolutely amazing drum machine. Certainly if you are making electronic music. 10 outputs. Excellent samples (including CR78/TR808/…
Roland Fantom-08 - "Confirming Roland hasn’t made a good synth in 20 years"
I would not be writing a review about this or any other synth unless there were specifically amazing things, or, unforgivable bad things about the specific instrument. I have two studio workspaces …
Roland MKB 200 - "Really cool keybed and Features (Aftertouch Like the Juno 2) - 1984-1986"
PROS : The synthesizer keybed is like the Famous Roland Juno 2 (Velocity-After touch). I try it with the Roland BK-7M and it's really insane for live sessions with this. All features is fast and e…
Roland FP-7 - "I own both the FP-7 and FP-7F and they're both excellent!"
These are fantastic electric pianos to practice on. Great action and lovely sounds. the FP-7 does most of what the FP-7F does and unless you are a power user you probably won't need the extras. Midi …
Roland F-110 - "Cheap epiano"
I own this for few years. Pros: compact, solid stand, good sound - typical for the roland brand; relatively large voice bank, as for the epiano, simple sequencer. Cons: relatively light/soft keyboard…

Roland MKB-300 - "Best keybed in my opinion"

Roland A-880 - "Excellent unit, despite its age"
In my setup I have two A880 units that distribute 6 MIDI outputs from the computer interfaces to all my gear. Also they collect the input from various keyboards and send it to the interfaces. Mind y…
Roland JV-880 - "This rack module has quite a bang in sound quality with an external sound editor"
The product is used for studio use. I have the studio setup for DAW and non DAW. I was impressed with several Youtube presentations of the JV-880 that I purchased 2 units. The JV-880 has: MIDI/in/out…
Roland RD-2000 - "It's a Stage General, a Performance Powerhouse, Also Fantastic for the Studio"
First, let me correct something here. The RD 2000 has 8 independent zones (which means, you can play up to 8 patches/sounds at a time, and adjust each of them independently). But you can combine even…
Roland S-760 - "No Toy for Noobs"

Roland JP-08 - "Very small – but very mighty, too!"
So this is a miniature analog-modelling synth rendering Toland’s high-end synth from the early 80s (1981 precisely), the Jupiter 8. It seems sturdy and is quite heavy considering its size, which i…
Roland Mobile Cube - "One Of Best Amps For Money/Purpose"
There's a lot of battery powered portable amps out there, or at least enough to do some serious comparisons. I own a Lunchbox Jr. and have played several others. The Roland is loud for its size but I…
Roland JD-Xi - "This tiny synth could have been a giant – alas..."
I’ve tried the JD-Xi at length for almost a month, but I haven’t kept it in the end. It’s a nice small synth with many an asset but also too many flaws (some related to its youth maybe?) led me to…
Roland CompuRhythm CR-78 - "Full of vintage charm"
I bought it on the spur of the moment, only realizing afterward how iconic it was (a good thing for me!). Of course, its sounds felt familiar and though it is mostly a preset machine you always have …
Roland MC-808 - "Enjoyable"
For which specific applications or uses have I chosen this product? Used for sampling, creating melodies, and experimentation( R&B, Hip-Hop, Lo-fi and Soul) In what context do I currently use t…
