Roland Announces The EXR-46 Oriental Arranger

January 18, 2007

(Click for a close-up)

Roland is proud to announce the EXR-46 Oriental Arranger-Roland's most authentic and versatile Oriental-themed keyboard. As the newest addition to Roland's arranger-keyboard family, the EXR-46 OR retains many of the popular design characteristics of its predecessor (EXR-40 OR), but improves and builds upon the fundamental elements: sounds, styles, and Music Assistant features.

Since the EXR-46 OR is pre-installed with so many excellent sounds and patterns, there is no need for additional expansion boards, sound libraries, or other costly upgrades. With over 30% more wave ROM than its EXR-40 OR predecessor, the EXR-46 OR offers dozens of authentic sounds, drum kits, and phrase samples from a wide range of Arabian Gulf-region countries.

Dozens of authentic Music Styles have been preprogrammed into the EXR-46 OR, making it easy to create song arrangements quickly and in real time. Thanks to the level of care and quality that went into the sound design and pattern creation, the EXR-46 OR perfectly captures the musical spirit of Turkey, Syria, and other colorful locales.

In order to realize the highest level of authenticity, the EXR-46 OR was designed in collaboration with musical masters from each stylistic region. Combined with the EXR-46 OR's high-resolution sound engine, these custom-made waveforms and patterns are amazingly realistic to the ear.

Performing and programming drum/percussion parts is made easy on the EXR-46 OR thanks to its automatic Drum Pad mapping capabilities. This handy feature instantly reassigns the highest range of keyboard (F6-C7) to function as dedicated "drum pads."
