"I’m very proud to introduce you to our new digital multi effects unit, the transparentSea.
It’s designed for live table top musicians who like to go DAWless but also works well in a studio environment.
The basic idea is to have an all in 1 FX solution without a screen and with minimal hidden features. Dedicated knobs for every parameter and responsive Buttons with RGB LEDs.
"Afternoon exploration session with 3 silver boxes, the Elektron Machinedrum handling the beat and the classic SID Station led by the Lightreft Monolit on the 2.0β firmware.
Machinedrum keeps things tight and mechanical while the SID Station focuses on texture. Bit-grit, noise edges, and shifting timbres.
Just experimenting, seeing how far the monolit can take Midi Automation over an IDM groove. #machinedrum #sidstation #idm"

A Technology Preview Exploring AI, DIY Culture, and the Future of Music Creation
Los Angeles, November 11, 2025 — Roland Future Design Lab, the advanced technologies research group of Roland Corporation, announces Project LYDIA, an audio processing platform preview created in collaboration with Neutone, developers of next-generation AI tools for musicians and artists. Project LYDIA merges Neutone’s trainable AI software with Roland’s hardware expertise, using a Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer to deliver a compact, stage-ready prototype that reimagines DIY innovation for a new generation.
Bridging AI and DIY Creativity
Roland’s legacy in DIY music creation began in 1981 with AMDEK (Analog Music Digital Electronic Kits), a line of build-it-yourself kits that encouraged musicians to experiment with technology. Today, Roland Future Design Lab revisits that spirit, asking how modern creators can explore sound through emerging AI tools.
AI for Sound Discovery and Exploration
Powered by Neutone’s Morpho technology, Project LYDIA, named after DIY and AI, uses “neural sampling” to learn the tonal qualities of any sound and apply it to another in real time, with the sonic results ranging from highly musical to exotic and surprising. The current Project LYDIA mockup houses a Raspberry Pi 5 computer running Neutone’s special version of Morpho alongside Roland’s latest ideas for a simple, tactile control panel. Audio I/O is currently managed via a USB-connected Roland Rubix interface, with future iterations aiming to fully integrate I/O for a completely self-contained device.
AI Innovation at Roland
Project LYDIA builds on Roland’s growing exploration of AI as a creative partner for musicians. In 2024, Roland and Universal Music Group (UMG) jointly introduced the Principles for Music Creation with AI, a framework outlining shared commitments to ethical and artist-centered innovation.
“Roland has taken a leadership role globally in practicing responsible development with AI for music creation,” said Paul McCabe, Senior Vice President of Research and Innovation at Roland. “Part of being responsible is getting input from creators on what they find useful, helpful, or inspiring, and what ideas may not be welcome in their workflows. Releasing Project LYDIA as a technology preview allows us to demonstrate possibilities, seek community input, optimize, and improve.”
Shaping the Future Together
Project LYDIA debuted at the Audio Developer Conference taking place November 10 through November 12 in Bristol, UK, inviting feedback from the creative community to guide future research in AI-driven music tools. Musicians and makers can share their thoughts and ideas via a short survey here.

All data on any computer or smartphone is in the form of files. The contents of these files are ultimately just zeros and ones. And these zeros and ones are basically all the same, so we need an interpreter to extract meaning from these texts. Basically, the file format (.mp3, .docx, etc.) is just a pointer to which interpreter we need to pass the text in order to extract meaning from it.
But what if the file format and the interpreter don't match? In the case of musical experimentation, there have been earlier attempts, for example, to "play" a file through an audio editor, which expectedly produced mostly glitch and noise; it might be more interesting from a conceptual than a musical point of view.
We could go further and write our own interpreter that would look at the files without regard to format, use its own "manner of reading" the original zeros and ones, and on that basis provide a complete system for controlled synthesis of sounds.
The tool, called Binary synth, is available at: https://bs.stranno.su.
The application is a web synthesizer that runs in the browser and is written in Javascript. All the application code along with everything needed is packed into a single .html file of about 750kb.

Introducing Tranzwave, a powerful wavetable Synthesizer, inspired by an unsung hero from the late 90’s: The Ensoniq Fizmo.
The flexible modulation engine, coupled with creative editing and randomization features, simplifies the creation of new, innovative sounds. Tranzwave brings all the wavetables from the Fizmo into the modern age for new creative explorations. With its user-friendly interface, Tranzwave provides complete control over wavetable and effect controls, making the creation of new sounds both fun and easy.
Tranzwave – A Tribute to Fizmo’s DNA
In the late 1990s Ensoniq pioneered “Transwaves”, a unique form of wavetable synthesis notably featured in their Fizmo synthesizer. Unlike earlier forms of wavetable synthesis, which could sometimes produce more static or stepped sounds, Ensoniq’s technology facilitated fluid transitions between different waveforms within a wavetable. This innovation led to the creation of evolving, dynamic soundscapes. Ensoniq’s approach allowed for a more seamless and organic morphing of sounds, enabling musicians to craft rich, textured audio experiences that changed over time. This method offered a fresh and novel way to explore sonic possibilities, distinguishing it from the more digital and discrete transitions of previous wavetable synthesizers like the PPG Wave. Although the Ensoniq Fizmo, which utilized Transwaves, did not achieve widespread fame, its distinctive approach to wavetable synthesis marked a significant development in the evolution of electronic sound and influenced modern synthesis techniques.
Tranzwave brings this older, unique wavetable concept, known as Transwaves, into the modern era of music production. By sampling each frame of these Transwaves, Tranzwave offers a rich and dynamic sonic palette that captures the essence of these early digital synthesizers. It’s akin to having a vast library of colors and shades at your disposal, offering endless possibilities for creating new and innovative sounds.
