The new software-based musical instrument allows users to play any instrument on macOS and Windows using Roland Cloud.
Roland has introduced GALAXIAS, a powerful new software-based musical instrument available exclusively on Roland Cloud. GALAXIAS runs as a standalone application on macOS and Windows and will be available in VST3 and AU plug-in formats for DAW music production soon after the initial release. Within GALAXIAS, users can work with any instrument on Roland Cloud and instantly access a vast searchable library with over 20,000 ready-to-play sounds.
From historic icons such as the JUPITER-8, TR-808, and D-50 to modern instruments like ZENOLOGY and SYSTEM-8, GALAXIAS harnesses Roland‘s evolving sonic legacy into a single “Super Instrument” with infinite creative possibilities. GALAXIAS provides the ability to layer up to four instruments and create massive sonic superclusters called Scenes. Every layer has its own key range, transpose, and MIDI input settings, plus a dedicated arpeggiator. Convenient learn and drag functionality makes it fast and easy to build intricate sounds that are deeply engaging and demand attention.
