In the 70s, Roland presented the modular SYSTEM 100, 100M and the legendary SYSTEM 700. These instruments are famous to this day for their flexible sound generation and unique sound character.
The new SYSTEM-1 is the current version of the modular systems with a large selection of synthesizer sounds and very versatile functionality. With help from the new Analog Circuit Behavior Technology (ACB), every single component of its analog predecessors was analyzed in detail and digitally integrated into the SYSTEM-1. The SYSTEM-1 creates a successful connection between classic analog synthesizers of the past and modern synthesizer sounds.
The SYSTEM-1 can control plug-in versions of classic Roland synthesizers or even load them internally. You can then select by the press of a button if you would like to play the internal sounds or the sounds of the plug-in synthesized of the SYSTEM-1. This function is referred to as “PLUG-OUT” and creates a fantastic combination of the internal sounds of the SYSTEM-1, resulting in two sound generators in one instrument.
The first Plug-Out module for the SYSTEM-1 will be the software synthesizer of the Roland SH-101. Additional software synthesizers will follow, making the SYSTEM-1 a very future conscious instrument.!!!
