Questions people ask about Roland

What is Roland known for?

Roland is a Japanese instrument company best known for the 808 and 909 drum machines and the Juno synthesizers, machines whose sounds shaped hip hop, house, and techno. Today it makes synthesizers, electronic drum kits, digital pianos, and studio gear.

Where can you buy Roland gear?

New Roland gear sells through the brand's own site and major music retailers such as Guitar Center, Sweetwater, and Thomann. The used market runs through Reverb and eBay, which is also where vintage units change hands.

How much does Roland gear cost?

Compact synths and entry keyboards generally start in the low hundreds of dollars, while flagship synthesizers and full electronic drum kits run well past a thousand. Vintage originals like the 808 command collector prices in the thousands because production ended decades ago.

Do Roland products sell out like streetwear drops?

Mostly no. Core Roland instruments stay in steady production, so you can usually buy them at retail without racing a drop clock. Limited runs and anniversary editions do appear occasionally, and those behave more like collectibles once they are gone.

Who founded Roland?

Roland was founded in Japan in 1972 by Ikutaro Kakehashi, one of the most influential figures in electronic instrument design. The company remains one of the largest names in music technology alongside Korg and Yamaha.
