Now available in a convenient plug-in for your music productions, the Roland SRX STRINGS Lifetime Key Software Synthesizer is an accurate replica of the original SRX-04 Strings wave expansion board. Roland captured performances from noted European orchestras on location, giving users access to the world's most expressive stereo-sampled strings at the touch of a button. These proprietary sessions include a variety of sectional and ensemble sounds, played with multiple articulations and wide-ranging velocities.
The plug in comes with a Roland Cloud Lifetime Key, which is managed online and provides 24-hour access to all updates and enhancement at no additional charge. A free Roland Account is required to access Roland Cloud Manager.
Roland SRX Wave Expansion Boards—The Composer's Toolkit
- Before virtual instrument plug-ins became commonplace, Roland's instruments like the JV-1080, XP-80, XV-5080, and numerous others offered the ability to expand their sounds with user-installable SRX wave expansion boards, each loaded with a specialized sampled waveform set for different styles and genres.
- Roland’s wave expansion board releases eventually grew to over 30 titles including strings, brass, pianos, electric pianos, keyboards, and orchestral sounds.
