This is impressive - opening the gates, welcoming the “average” musician to be able to get in there and make their own music! Really awesome, takes the old school 4 track recorder to a whole new level for sure....

[ZEALE]

Hella grateful to be a part of this launch! Thank you Roland, the Verselab slaps! 🔥

Roland offers a lot of value and we have to support them. The Verselab it is a complete music production system for electronic music production, for hip hop producers and for singer/song writers in general. Some of you guys who compare this with the MPC One, do you guys realize that the Verselab has more than 3.000 top quality sounds derived from some of the most iconic synthesizers in the history of music technology? On top of that you get a sampler, a very good sequencer, a voice processor, final mixing and mastering capabilities, it even has a built - in microphone, etc,

I’m not claim that the MPC One is garbage, but what I observe in general is that a lot of people focus on superficial things (big screens etc) and can’t see the substance.

Did Roland accidentally buy four million of these two line displays in 1985? I love the gear, love the sounds and innovation, but isn’t it time that they integrated a decent display would color and touch?

This was so helpful as I began looking for something to disconnect me from computer screen music production. It has all the sounds & features I needed to start and it was easy enough to learn even with minimal experience. It's pretty versatile and I'm just scratching the surface of how it can be used. The only thing I didn't care for is having to exporting tracks as WAV files instead of MP3 files.

They really made this easy to use. The workflow is explained, making a clip and mixing it down looks simple. The drum kit is easy to navigate. Simplified what can a difficult and long learning curve which ultimately keeps people from producing. Good job roland.

1. really happy to see Roland roll this out - a very creative entry to the field. hopefully the price point allows lots of people to jump on it.
2. unfortunately, not really appealing to me. I need something much more full-featured.
3. Zeale really knocked it out of the park - one of the most concise, clear, and understandable 'quick look' demos I have ever seen for a complex new music product. he got everything into 10 minutes without unnecessary hype or fluff. well done. great editing, too.

[marctronixx]

Well done Roland. Presenter was very proficient and showcased the instrument nicely.

[davidsobel]

love the 1970 Panasonic SD-84 turntable in the background :)

[rodneycarterakaice]

This track goes hard. Keep up the great work. Roland has created a winner with this.

[GregoryMarkel]

An amazing demo of a very impressive box, well done to all!

[SynthgodXXX]

Very cool, Roland! I'm looking forward to checking this out! :)

[billykatsoulakis]

WoW.
I want one!
Don't know if I'll be as quick but practice makes perfect.
Great Demo!

[neutronjockey]

If you know your gear like Zeale knows this Verselab: you’re doing all right.

[TheBirdHouse]

Roland definitely picked the right man for the job to show this demo! Great work Zeale!

[Pm-qptb]

A Very good deep demo that explain from the beginning to the end an instrument, well done 👍
