Free, full-length Roland doc

Land of the Rising Sound: A Roland Retrospective was uploaded yesterday, and I think it's only available on YT at this time. There's a lot of demoing, so it's essentially a 70-min showcase/ad for Roland's back catalog. It's quite thorough, so if you like Roland/music tech history, you'll likely find it fairly informative.

Thanks for sharing! Great context given to how Roland's stuff shaped music and recording, and good demos of stuff too. I love the recurring theme of dud products that were picked up for cheap by aspiring musicians who used them in totally unanticipated ways.

Watched this yesterday, found it cool though I would have liked to see some actual interviews in there.

It was a nice look at their back catalog, but it would’ve been nice to get some understanding and perspective from the designers. Still a fun watch, though.
