2011 was a big year for Roland and BOSS, with the launch of many groundbreaking new products, including the JUPITER-80 Synthesizer, GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer, and MICRO BR® BR-80 Digital Recorder, to name just a few. We’re very pleased that these and others have been chosen for top awards in the music products industry, based on input from musicians, writers, dealers, educators, worship leaders, and audio professionals. 

Everyone at Roland and BOSS would like to extend a sincere thank you to all those that voted for us. We’re extremely honored to be recognized with these industry awards, which represent what we love to do—create innovative, exciting, and fun gear that helps and inspires musicians everywhere!
