Founded in 1972 by Ikutaro Kakehashi, Roland has shaped modern music like few others, from the genre-defining TR-808 drum machine to a central role in creating MIDI. Its whole history is about giving creators powerful tools that are built to inspire. That same instinct drives Roland's modern mixing and streaming gear: compact, flexible, pro-grade audio designed for the way creators actually work — on a podcast desk, a streaming setup, or a small live rig.
