Music Radar has put together a fun feature on Roland synths – the Roland Synthesizer Chronicles – that they say has photos of every Roland synthesizer ever made, in “a massive, all-star gallery that covers every Roland synth from 1973 to 2010.”
Highlights include the Roland System 700 modular synthesizer, above; and the early Jupiter and Juno synths.
You can view it as a big jpg or view it interactively at the MusicRadar site.
Note to MusicRadar: You might want to consider including the Roland TB-303 Computer Controlled Bassline Synthesizer in the next edition.
Here’s an example of what they look like:
or a D5, or an MT-32, or.. never mind. Lets just call it a collage of Roland synths.
Epic Fail!
No 303? Wha happen?
I guess they figured the VST version of the 303 was just as good as the real thing !!!!
Thanks to Roland's open-ended hardware/software system, VariOS 303 emulated the classic TB-303, without draining the host computer’s CPU.
Man, it sounds just like the real vintage thang … (lol) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUwng1sWfKU
looks like they don't have any of the bassline or drum machine based machines, these are just the synths.
Wheres the SH-2?
Oh yeah, there it is……….
Funny, you'd expect to see more.
Its also interesting how they become more and more boring as you move across the page. Thats progress!
Also missing Saturn 09 & VP 330.
When I first read the title of the article I thought it was going to be about the SH-201.
It's like having every Roland ever made – at a tiny fraction of the price.
