About Roland Aira

Roland Aira equipment was first developed to meet the rising demands for vintage Roland synthesizers and drum machines. With the sound of vintage Roland equipment still dominating the airwaves, demand for these instruments was high and sent their price on the second-hand market shooting into the thousands.

Consequently, Roland was encouraged to reissue these classic pieces of equipment. However, as a Japanese company, Roland's ethos is to only move forward, so simply reissuing old equipment was never going to work for them. As a result, Aira Synth was developed to get the best out of combining new and old. Classic instruments like the TB-303 and TR-808 were refreshed into the TB3 and TR8, which both harnessed the inspiring sound of the originals using innovative circuit modelling technology, but offer a more expressive and exciting workflow.

While instruments like the System 8 takes can recreate the sound of the many classic synths and with new emulations regularly being made available, continues to develop as an instrument. If you're after the authentic sound of vintage Roland without the hefty price tag, your best option is with Roland Aira.

Why Should I Choose Roland Aira?
