Cutting-edge soft synth uses Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) modeling for incredible results.
Classically Inspired, Future Focused
While the appearance and basic creative flow of the Roland SYSTEM-8 Software Synthesizer will be very familiar to analog synth fans, this plug-in's sonic potential is by no means locked in the past. An impressive three Oscillators per Voice can generate the full tonal range between analog sweet and digital grit, while the SYSTEM-8's incredibly-powerful multimode Filter section is rich with personality (actually, multiple personalities). DSP Effects are an integral part of the modern synthesist's workflow, and the Roland SYSTEM-8's Multi Effects, Chorus/Delay, Reverb and Vocoder will not disappoint.
Ultimate Programming & Performance Control
For synthezizer power-users, combining the Roland SYSTEM-8 Software Synthesizer with its SYSTEM-8 hardware brother is an unbeatable pairing! Sound designers will love being able to play and shape their sounds with a great-feeling velocity-sensitive keyboard and dedicated physical controls for very major function, and the SYSTEM-8 hardware also serves as a high quality USB audio/MIDI interface. Live performers will appreciate being able to transfer their Patches to hardware and take the stage computer-free.
Features
- Cutting-edge keyboard synthesizer powered by Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) modeling
- Retro-analog and dynamic modern sounds sweetened by powerful DSP effects
- Silky smooth multimode filters and extensive modulation possibilities
- Serves as a computer-based editor for Roland SYSTEM-8 hardware synthesizer
- VST and AU compatible
Order this SYSTEM-8 for your system. You'll be glad you did.
