Roland System-8 – used, in very good condition, with 12 months warranty.
With the launch of the System-8, Roland takes a step back in time in terms of sound, while making several steps forward in terms of technology. Its extensive sound palette is inspired by many popular synthesisers that the Japanese manufacturer has produced over the past forty years.
Thanks to a wide range of new features, this 49-key synthesiser is capable of producing not only classic retro sounds but also fresh and dynamic tones. This makes the System-8 perfectly suited to modern sounds and usable across a wide variety of musical genres.
The sound engine of the Roland System-8
The Roland System-8 is equipped with the ACB sound engine, short for Analog Circuit Behaviour technology. With this engine, Roland is able to reproduce classic analogue sounds with exceptional accuracy. This system has already been used in other recently released vintage-inspired models, such as the Boutique and AIRA series.
In the System-8, however, this sound engine has been developed even further. New advancements provide eight-voice polyphony, three oscillators with a switchable sub-oscillator, and filters with an exceptionally high level of detail and resolution.
Plug-Out
This Roland synthesiser features a Plug-Out function. In addition to the impressive sounds generated by the ACB technology, it is possible to use up to three Plug-Out software synthesisers. These vintage sounds give you direct access to even more authentic tones from legendary synthesisers.
Roland supplies the renowned Jupiter-8 and Juno-106 Plug-Outs as standard, while additional Plug-Out software such as the SH-2 or SH-101 can be purchased optionally.
In Performance Mode, the internal sounds can be combined with the Plug-Out sounds. This feature allows for the creation of unique and inspiring combinations, using layered voices and customised keyboard splits.
USB
The System-8 is also perfectly suited for use with music software. If required, the synthesiser can function as a MIDI controller for your DAW via the USB/MIDI interface. Using Surface Mode, knobs, faders and buttons can be freely assigned to control software synthesisers in an intuitive way.
