As we’ve frequently been reminded over the past 12 months, Roland has just celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the company has made a lot of synths and drum machines in that time. Many of these are now available in software via the Roland Cloud platform, and now they’re all being brought together in a new “super instrument” called Galaxias.
Perhaps the best way to think of this is as a container for all the other Roland Cloud instruments (the likes of the Jupiter-8, TR-808, D-50, Zenology and System-8). Given that, initially, it’ll only be available standalone, it seems that it could be intended for live use, though a plugin version is also in the works.
