In the history of guitar modeling, no manufacturer has devoted more time, resources and passion into this market segment than Roland — from the world’s first guitar modeling processor, the legendary VG-8, to its popular V-Guitar predecessors. Today, Roland proudly announces another milestone in guitar modeling and performance technology: the VG-99. With three powerful new processors at its core, plus expressive performance controls such as Ribbon Controller and D BEAM, this remarkable instrument raises the bar in guitar modeling and performance technology.

VG-99

SCOOPER (Looper/Scatter) nimmt das Audio-Eingangssignal (Phrase) für mehrere Sekunden auf, gibt es als Wiederholungen wieder und/oder zerschneidet dieses bzw. formt es zu anderen Phrasen um.

Nach dem sensationellen Debüt der AIRA-Serie in 2014 präsentiert Roland in diesem Jahr eine neue Serie von Modular-Geräten. Das Konzept der neuen Eurorack-kompatiblen Desktop-Effektgeräte unterstützt das Experimentieren mit Sounds. Die Effekt-Parameter lassen sich mit den GRIFFER (GRF)-Reglern und/oder dem CV/GATE-Eingangssignal sehr präzise einstellen. Die Einstellungen der GRIFFER (GRF)-Regler werden dem CV/GATE-Eingangssignal hinzugefügt. Die Anzeige neben dem entsprechenden Regler ändert ihre Helligkeit entsprechend der Reglereinstellung und der Spannung des CV/GATE-Signals

SCOOPER is a unique modular effect combining a single-pass loop recorder and Scatter effect with unprecedented control and flexibility. Able to be used as a tabletop unit or as a Eurorack module, and with an array of CV/Gate inputs, this compact 21 HP unit has a wide range of uses from studio production to live performance. Not only for modular synth users, SCOOPER is perfect for keyboard players, guitarists, DJs or any adventurous musician looking to expand their sound. Carefully crafted in Japan, SCOOPER has large, ultra-smooth controls with over 16 million steps of resolution and is fully re-programmable via computer or tablet.

When Roland introduced the original V-Bass System, serious bass players worldwide took notice. Now, we are proud to introduce the VB-99 V-Bass, which delivers three times the sonic firepower of the original model! Based on an all-new custom processing engine and 10 years of research and development, the VB-99 serves up a wide range of inspiring new COSM bass and amplifier models, powerful polyphonic effects, new string modeling technology, dual independent signal paths for blending sounds, and new controllers. It also features a host of thoughtful improvements that bassists demanded, such as bass–to-MIDI converters, streaming audio via USB, and much more.

Anknüpfend an den Test der beiden Roland SPD One Wav und Electro Pads kommen wir in diesem Test nun zu den beiden verbleibenden Drum Pads „Kick“ und „Percussion“ aus der neuen Roland SPD One Familie. Die zwei bereits besprochenen Pads kamen im Test nicht allzu gut weg, umso interessanter, die beiden mir vorliegenden Exemplare aus Sicht des Live Drummers zu beleuchten. Mal sehen, ob Roland SPD One Kick und SPD One Percussion Pad aus dieser Perspektive einen besseren Eindruck machen bzw. eine bessere Performance bieten können.


The Roland SPD::ONE PERCUSSION is a new type of digital percussion pad, one that allows any musician to add authentic percussion sounds to their performances. It contains 22 realistic percussion sounds, including snares, hi-hats, cymbals, shakers, tambourines, and more, and you can even import your own original audio data into one of the 12 internal sound banks. Once you’re ready to go, the SPD::ONE PERCUSSION’s robust-yet-sensitive pad can be played with sticks, hands, or feet, and the trigger threshold settings are easily adjusted with intuitive controls.
