SRX-05 Supreme Dance
Expansion board
|
Number five in the SRX-series of Roland
expansion boards, "Supreme Dance" was co-produced by Roland and
Spectrasonics in 2002. This board contains a series of new samples, catered toward the Dance, Hip-Hop, and Electronica in general. Sampled waveforms of vintage - but also newer VA synths like Roland's own JP-8000 - find their way inside SRX-05: from Junos, to TR-series machines, Jupiter sounds, techno basses, lush pads, arpeggio synths, ambience FX, and a lot more. |

|
This is definitely a very versatile board - useful for many electronic genres, in particular - House. It complements other SRX-series boards well. Check out audio demos from this board here below. |
