Roland U-220 Vst May 2026

While there is no official Roland U-220 VST from Roland Cloud, its unique 1990s PCM charm—famously used by The Prodigy

The Payoff: You now have a permanent, offline "U-220 VST" that you built yourself.

Where to find presets: Legally, you can find "Roland U-220 Sample Packs" on sites like Splice or Loopmasters. Do not download "free soundfonts" from sketchy forums—those are often copyright infringing.

Overall Rating: 8.8/10

• What it is: UVI legally licensed and re-sampled classic ROMplers, including the Roland U-220, Korg M1, and Yamaha SY22.
• The Experience: This is essentially the U-220 VST you are looking for. They sampled the raw waveforms, the filter sweeps, and even the noise floor.
• Pros: One-time purchase, massive library, sounds 95% identical.
• Cons: Requires the free UVI Workstation (which is excellent). The UI is modern, not retro.
• Price: Usually around $99-$149 for the bundle.
