Japanese musical instrument company Roland is celebrating its 50th anniversary with this excellent website historical timeline.

It’s hard to overestimate the impact of Roland’s gear on popular music — from the 1974 Space Echo to the 1980 TR-808 Drum Machine, from the acid house-defining 1981 TB-303 and Juno-6, from their 1998 MC-505 Groovebox, the 2005 SP-404 Phrase Sampler to the 2015 JD-XA Synth, and the wildly futuristic 2020 Concept Grand Piano — Roland have been deeply involved with crafting the sounds of music.

Check the site for a timeline journey through Roland’s music gear history.
