purposes, as Kakehashi was interested in a name that was easy to pronounce for his worldwide target markets. The name was found in a telephone directory, and Kakehashi was satisfied with the simple two-syllable word and its soft consonants. The letter "R" was chosen because it was not used by many other music equipment companies, so would stand out in trade-show directories and industry listings. Kakehashi did not learn of the French epic poem <i><a href="/wiki/The_Song_of_Roland" class="mw-redirect" title="The Song of Roland">The Song of Roland</a></i> until later.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>With seven employees from his former company, a rented shed, and $100,000, Kakehashi built on his experience at Ace, introducing a drum machine, the TR-77 or Rhythm 77, as Roland's first product, followed by the TR-33 and TR-55 released that same year. In 1973, Roland introduced the first compact synthesizer produced in Japan and the first synthesizer produced by Roland, the <a href="/wiki/Roland_SH-1000" title="Roland SH-1000">SH-1000</a>, as well as their first nonpreset synthesizer, the <a href="/wiki/Roland_SH-3A" title="Roland SH-3A">SH-3</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The company was also manufacturing <a href="/wiki/Effects_unit" title="Effects unit">effects pedals</a>, introducing the <a href="/wiki/Roland_RE-201" class="mw-redirect" title="Roland RE-201">RE-201 Space Echo</a> in 1974, and expanding into <a href="/wiki/Guitar_amplifier" title="Guitar amplifier">guitar amplifiers</a> the following year with the <a href="/wiki/Roland_Jazz_Chorus" title="Roland Jazz Chorus">JC-60 and JC-120 Jazz Chorus</a>, whose chorus circuit would become the first <a href="/wiki/Boss_Corporation" title="Boss Corporation">Boss Corporation</a> product, the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, the following year.
