Roland Announces Details of Online Festival

Roland has announced the details for “The Future. Redefined. September Festival 2017,” a week-long online festival that will run from September 7 to 14.

Product debuts are scheduled for percussion, piano, wind, organ, and guitar categories, with special events planned in celebration of the D-50 Synthesizer’s 30th anniversary.  The festival will begin with the unveiling of Roland’s newest digital wind instrument—a product for beginning wind players designed to both inspire and enhance musical creativity. Other new product introductions will take place through September 14, including a new guitar-related product from BOSS on September 8,  two new digital organs on September 12, two new electronic percussion products on September 13, and four new digital pianos on September 14.   

A special 30th-anniversary celebration of the D-50 Synthesizer begins September 9 with the launch of Roland’s dedicated D-50 anniversary web page, which will feature exclusive interviews with the engineers who developed the D-50, and tributes from a roster of D-50 fans, including top artists and producers.

Roland will also present the “One Minute Challenge,” a fun online game featuring music and gear trivia.
