Roland System-8 Plug-Out Synthesizer
Roland System-8 Plug-Out Synthesizer
Powerful and deep, the System-8 delivers a vast palette of sounds inspired by over four decades of legendary Roland synths. Its next-gen Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) engine powers an eight-voice, three-oscillator monster with stunning filters and effects, highly versatile LFOs, and a massive array of high-resolution knobs and sliders to control it all. Support for three plug-out synths means the System-8 can host spot-on recreations of numerous Roland classics and Jupiter-8 and Juno-106 plug-outs are even included with purchase. Split and layer synths for unheard of sounds, and tap into the integrated vocoder, arpeggiator, CV/gate outs, and advanced polyphonic step sequencer to fuel endless creative explorations.
