ROLAND GW-8
Electronic keyboard/workstation released by Roland in 2008. GW-8 has four regional versions, namely GW-8A for Asian, GW-8C for Chinese, GW-8L for Latin, and GW-8E for the European.
The Chinese instrument samples of the Chinese version (GW-8C) are all from famous domestic instrument players and artists. The following picture records the artists and corresponding instruments involved in the sampling work.
