ROLAND INTRODUCES SRX-10 “BIG BRASS ENSEMBLE” WAVE EXPANSION BOARD

High-Quality Expansion Is Loaded with Expressive Brass Sounds

Anaheim, January 15, 2004—Roland is proud to announce 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 high-quality brass sounds captured in world-class studios and mixed by renowned studio engineers like Dan Blessinger (Prince). SRX-10 faithfully 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 and often require endless searching to find the right sound, Roland’s SRX-10 gives players instant access to only the finest 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 high-quality 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.

Roland is a world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of electronic musical instruments, professional audio equipment, multimedia products and music accessories.
