The '''Roland U-220''' is a rackmount version of the [[Roland U-20]] ROMpler keyboard, released in 1989. It is a revised version of the [[Roland U-110]], with the same engine and all of its Tones (samples) built into its ROM. It also features two of the [[SN-U110]] expansion cards also built into its ROM (SN-U110-08 Synthesiser and SN-U110-09 Guitar and Keyboards)<ref name=redroo-snu110-info>[https://musicstudio.bigredroo.com.au/Recording_Gear_Roland_U-220_PCM_Cards.html Roland Sound Library SN-U110 and SN-MV30-S1 Series PCM Cards - musicstudio.bigredroo.com.au]</ref>, with only two expansion slots instead of the U-110's four. It features a less noisy DAC<ref name=llamamusic-u20-info>[http://llamamusic.com/u20/u-20_info.html U-110/U-20/U-220 Info Page - llamamusic.com]</ref> than the U-110, and twice the front panel keys to aid in menu navigation.

Each patch features six Parts which can be assigned to any MIDI channel, with each having a Timbre, and a Rhythm Part which can be assigned any of four Rhythm Sets. Timbres consist of a Tone (sample), an ADSR volume envelope, a dedicated LFO for vibrato, level, panning, and other settings. Tones can be internal or from either installed expansion card.

The unit is notable for being one of the first Roland PCM-based units<ref name=llamamusic-u20-info />, with one of its primary draws being the realism of its sounds for the time. However, nowadays the unit is rather limited, featuring no filter, ROM-only samples, and only two effects.
