GLM Model ZZ car featuring Roland-powered driving sound system
Roland, one of the leading synthesizer manufacturers, will be taking their talents and technology to the Japanese automotive industry this Fall. The technology titan has recently announced that they will be co-developing a âneo-futuristic driving sound generation systemâ for GLMâs ZZ Roadster (seen above).
Utilizing Rolandâs SuperNATURAL synthesizer technology, the ZZ Roadster will have the ability to generate futuristic sounds that can adapt to real-time driving situations such as: acceleration, deceleration, and even changes in the road conditions. Roland and GLM even take it a step further allowing the driver to select various sound types based on their preference.
The Roland press-release states that the technology âwill give sports car enthusiasts the experience of driving a space ship on the road.â The sounds of the Millennium Falcon in the driver seat of a sports car? Yes pleaseâŠ
This is certainly newfound territory for Roland and car enthusiasts. It might also be the only time we wouldnât mind driving without our own grooves going through the sound system…
