Roland, the world-leading electronic musical instrument, music software, and professional video products creator, and JMC Academy, Australia’s leading Creative Industries institution, are proud to announce a partnership that will see Roland Cloud, Roland’s evolving cloud-based platform offering more than 50 authentic Roland software synthesizers and sound libraries, integrated across JMC Academy campuses, starting in September 2021.
With three campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, and over 2,000 students each year, JMC Academy offers courses including audio engineering and sound production, music production, and songwriting, among others. To support JMC Academy’s mission of ensuring the highest quality of education for its students, Roland is giving students access to the full suite of Roland Cloud instruments. These include software versions of legendary synths like JUPITER-8 and JUNO-106, classic rhythm machines such as the TR-808, TR-909 and TR-606, and the music creation app Zenbeats. Additionally, Roland’s ZEN-Core Synthesis System will allow students to program sound contents in the ZENOLOGY Software Synthesizer and move those sounds around a selection of ZEN-Core hardware products such as the latest FANTOM workstations and popular GROOVEBOX models like the MC-707 and MC-101.
