Throughout the early 2000s, Roland’s SRX expansion board series provided innovative tools to sprinkle fresh flavors into your synth setup. Installed directly into Roland hardware, each board contained a specialized musical world all its own. These genre-centric collections ranged from a dancefloor library like SRX DANCE TRAX to SRX ORCHESTRA with its patches of subtle strings and woodwinds. Taken as a whole, the SRX series widened players’ pallets, inspiring musicians to diversify their tracks.

“World Collection,” the ninth entry in the SRX-series, gave users the chance to travel the globe with an array of musical treasures. The original hardware boasted a collection of international instruments drawn from the SR-JV80 “World,” “Asia,” and “Latin” collections. Throw in a little bit of country for good measure, and the hardware was, literally, a worldwide affair.

One of the most complete Orchestral synths in history now available for your DAW. The first software adaption of Roland's legendary SRX expansion boards, SRX-Orchestra brings to your DAW some of the most beloved and recorded orchestral sounds in history. SRX-Orchestra provides hundreds of fresh, inspiring sounds for composers, film scoring or any situation where realistic orchestral sounds and vocals are needed. Flutes, clarinets, choirs and even robust percussion are featured prominently alongside patches that deliver multiple orchestral voices via a single keypress. With over 425 orchestral patches and the ability to create and customize your own, SRX-Orchestra is destined to become a legend for the second time.

SRX KEYBOARDS is a completely authentic, virtual recreation of an early 2000s SRX expansion board, originally available only for compatible Roland hardware synths. The original SRX expansion compiled multiple SR-JV80 boards, collecting the very best Roland keyboard sounds from the previous decade into a single expansion.

SRX KEYBOARDS puts all this into a powerful plugin using our acclaimed DCB (Digital Circuit Behavior) technology to reproduce every nuance and detail of the original hardware. DCB uses the original sample ROM, and accurately reproduces the original waveforms and any behavior or artifacts that resulted from the digital components and circuitry used in the hardware unit.

FEEL THE RHYTHM WITH SRX DANCE TRAX, THE NEW EDITON TO ROLAND CLOUD'S LEGENDARY SERIES. In the early 2000s, Roland’s SRX series of expansion boards were an innovative way of adding fresh flavors to your synth. Installed directly into Roland hardware, each board created a tiny genre-centric world of its own. From classic piano spreads (celebrated in Roland Cloud with our SRX KEYBOARDS VST) to strings and woodwinds, the SRX series expanded players’ pallets and opened new creative doors.
"Supreme Dance," the fifth entry in the SRX-series and "Platinum Trax," the eight entry in the SRX-series, catered to dance, hip-hop, and electronica, the original hardware version sampled waveforms of vintage and contemporary synths including Junos, the JP-8000, and many others, resulting in a robust collection of sounds: from lush synths to brazen drum sounds.

D-50 Linear Synthesizer. One of the world’s most recognized synthesizers, now for your DAW. Released thirty years ago in 1987, the Roland D-50 Linear Arithmetic (LA) Synthesizer is easily one of the most influential keyboards ever made. The D-50 helped to define the sound of the late 80’s with its instantly recognizable mix of sampled attacks and synthesized sustaining waveforms (that’s LA!) plus chorus, reverb, and EQ. It’s the basis of classic tracks in a wide range of genres including Synth Pop, New Wave, New Jack and R&B, plus countless film scores.
With the new Roland D-50 DCB Software Synthesizer, Roland Cloud subscribers can have the iconic sound of LA in a powerful plugin, which perfectly recreates this legendary synth down to the subtlest of nuances!

What is Roland Cloud Concerto? Roland Cloud Concerto is the sample playback and RAINLINK based recording engine that powers the Tera, FLAVR and Anthology series of Roland Cloud virtual instruments. Although Concerto alone does not an instrument make, it is the underlying engine that powers many current Roland Cloud instruments and will be the host to many forthcoming Roland Cloud technologies.

A Player Engine Without Limits
Roland Cloud Concerto maintains best-in-class audio recording, rendering and playback without compromise, regardless of system or environment and without compromising audio quality and integrity. In other words, Concerto is light on the system, heavy on quality. The number of Concerto instances and Concerto-based instruments that you can have is gated by the same thing that gates all software: current hardware limitations. As hardware becomes more powerful, Concerto will too.
