But what's a great vocal performance without great instrumental backing? Luckily, the VERSELAB is packed with over 3000 high quality sounds sourced from iconic Roland instruments from the past like the TR-808 and SP-404. All of these offer the best possible audio fidelity too, as the VERSELAB harness the ZEN Core Synthesis System (Roland's most advanced sound engine yet).  

And if that's not enough for you, you can expand this sound library even further. Simply open up Roland Cloud and select from thousands of extra sounds that are just waiting to be used in your productions.
