One of the key skills that a contemporary keyboard players needs is the ability to tweak their piano or synth sound for a particular track. Like the contemporary drummer and the V-Drum brain, learning to programme your synths is a vital skill.
However, it is often better to start with an existing patch that is close to what you want rather than start from scratch. But what do you do when you can’t find the sound you are looking for in the inbuilt memory of your synth or workstation? This is when Roland’s Axial comes in.
Axial is the official Roland tone library site where you can download new sounds for your Roland synth. All sounds have been specially designed by top programmers. From recreations of vintage analog classics to modern, cutting-edge tones that are perfect for the latest music styles, Axial contains an ever-expanding selection of unique and exciting new sounds for your Roland instruments.
The sound downloads on Axial are grouped by musical genre and concept, making it easy to find the tones that will work best with your music. The site also features demo videos and sound clips, so you can check out the sounds and examples of their uses.
One of the great thrills of using synthesizers is being able to create your own original tones. We encourage you to experiment freely and tweak the tones you download from the Axial site to suit your personal taste and style, filling your Roland synth with sounds that no one in the world has heard before.
Don’t forget that Roland’s entire range of synths are available at a great price from us here at UCan Play. Educational discounts are available for all students, teachers, schools, colleges and universities.
