Description
The New Legendary
Cross-platform software synthesizer version of the SYSTEM-8.
The Roland SYSTEM-8 is a synth powerhouse with three oscillators per voice, multimode filtering, myriad modulation opportunities, and lush effects. It’s why professional touring artists and studio producers consider the SYSTEM-8 essential to their arsenals. Identical in sound to the hardware, the SYSTEM-8 Software Synthesizer brings the flexible and evocative sound of this modern classic to your DAW.
Classically Trained
The SYSTEM-8 draws on our deep history of synthesizer research and development, with circuit-accurate models of classic Roland oscillators, filters, and effects. It includes legendary third-party oscillator types as well, plus the famous JUPITER and JUNO filter designs for super-authentic vintage sounds.
Beyond Vintage
The SYSTEM-8 does modern sounds too, with many flavors of digital and analog-style oscillators, plus waveshapes like SuperSaw, FM and more. In addition to classic filter models, options include an all-new VCF along with more recent designs like the unique formant, harmonic, and side-band filters. This makes the SYSTEM-8 unparalleled in its versatility, going from glass to growl—or pluck to punch—with just a few tweaks of its controls.
Hardware Integration
For synthesizer power users, combining the Roland SYSTEM-8 software synthesizer with its hardware sibling is a potent pairing. Sound designers will love the ability to play and shape sounds with a velocity-sensitive keyboard and dedicated controls. Live performers will appreciate transferring patches to hardware and taking the stage computer-free.
