History of Roland [reason]

Roland has always been on the cutting edge of technology and has consistently designed synths that are now classics. This CD has all of them in working order. Juno-106 & 6, SH-1/2, SH-101/System-100, RS-09, MC-202, MKS-80, Jupiter-6/8, VP-300 vocoder and a special section of phrases. Available in audio, Akai & Kurzweil. "The JUNO-106 has some wonderful swirling patches and squelchy percussion, very useful pulse waves & a great collection of phrases. They're skillfully played & programmed... The Jupiter-8 is well represented with some sparkling resonant sweeps, hard-edged decay tones almost like steel drums, and also strings & brass. The MKS-80 offers hard sync patches mallets and some neat chord stabs... a peek into the Analog Past." ­ Electronic Musician.
