NAMM: Brass Sounds for SRX-Compatible Synths

January 16, 2004

Roland has announced the SRX-10 "Big Brass Ensemble" Wave Expansion Board. Designed for use with "SRXpandable" Roland instruments–including the Fantom-Series, XV-Series, RD-700 and V-Combo–the SRX-10 "Big Brass Ensemble" offers a broad selection of brass sounds captured in world-class studios and mixed by renowned studio engineers like Dan Blessinger (Prince). SRX-10 captures the natural articulations and expressions of ensemble brass sounds, making it perfect for arranging pop, rock, classical or film scores.

Unlike CD-ROM collections, which require longer load times, Roland's SRX-10 gives players instant access to brass sounds. The onboard Patches include the natural articulations and nuances of real brass instruments–including realistic "falls"–that can be played with velocity switches and aftertouch. Everything from trumpets and trombones to French horns and tuba sounds can be played using the SRX-10, making it perfect for arranging many styles of music from pop and rock to classical and film scores.

When used with Roland's new Fantom-X Series, users can tap into the 128-note polyphony afforded by these powerful new instruments. And when combined with Roland's other expansions–like the SRX-04 "Symphonique Strings" and SRX-06 "Complete Orchestra"–the SRX-10 gives musicians a complete arsenal of professional orchestral sounds for arranging their music.

MSRP: $295
