The Roland WC-1 is designed for use with specific Roland instruments that support Roland Cloud Connect. These include, among others, the Roland JUPITER-X, JUPITER-Xm, and JUNO-X. The availability of extensions and features varies by instrument. In addition to a compatible Roland instrument, you’ll also need a compatible iOS or Android smartphone or tablet to use it.
