History Of Roland

The Roland Corporation are on the cutting edge of musical instrument innovation, and have been since their creation in 1972.
With a brand culture very much influenced by its Japanese origins, Roland are constantly pushing the boundaries of digital music making, leading to them producing the best electronic drum kits in the world, as well as the most popular digital home pianos and keyboards.

But it's synths where Roland really cut their teeth and their impact on the synthesizer market stretches right back to the 1980s when Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi had a pivotal role in developing the MIDI standard which is still used extensively to this day.

Series

Roland makes a series of beginner to professional instruments including a large selection of electric pianos, the Rd-2000 Stage Piano, FA Series Workstations, GT-1000 Multi Effect Processor, and Aira Series products designed for modern electronic musicians. As well as these, Roland makes a series of top-end amplifiers such as the Katana Series, Blues Cubes, and the classic Jazz Chorus.

We've dug into plenty of Roland products on our blog. Find out more about the difference between FP10 and FP30 digital pianos, the SPD-SX drum pads, and the Blues Cube amp line-up.
