It looks like the new Jupiter-X addresses many of the wishes folks have posted here: aftertouch, more keys, metal frame, and several of the classic emulations built in. It looks like another nicely designed all-in-one ki...

I'm finally learning enough about the System 8 to see some polyphony limitations of Performance mode. I'm wondering if my observations are correct, and whether any of my wishes is currently feasible. Limitation: Performa...

I was looking at the layout of patches on the System-8, and it's safe to generalize that they have been roughly categorized by Number as: Ambient Arpeggios ??? Brass Pads Leads Bass FX Am I missing something? Wouldn't it...

It may be better to say that Roland Cloud offers little value to System-1 or System-8 hardware owners. Plug-outs are available for free trial, and are discounted for current owners. One would expect this practice to cont...

Has anyone heard whether the System-8 SOFTWARE synth (VST) will be made available to keyboard owners? I'd love to use it for patch management and editing, but I can't justify the full cloud subscription at this time.

[quote="pstnotpd"In "performance mode" on the S8 you can have any 2 plug outs running at the same time, but 4 voices only. So it should be possible.[/quote] Ah! That's true! Now we just need the cross-patching! Where I'm...

I wonder if roland considered "cross patching" on the plugouts. Imagine what you can do with 2 system100's loaded and cross patched ;) I assume that each plugout consumes all the processing power of the system, and you c...

@pstnotpd - Yes! I watched part of the video (and I'll continue later tonight.) I didn't realize how similar they were, but I shouldn't be surprised if several monosynths from that era have similar waveforms and filters....

I'm relatively new to subtractive synthesis, and I consider the System-8 my learning tool. I hope that someone good at creating (or copying) patches from scratch can offer some suggestions on how I might achieve a specif...

I have the same SM58 mic, but frankly don't know if my results are good or bad. I'm new to synthesis and vocoding, so everything I touch sounds bad! There are several tweaks hidden in the menus that may help. I was consi...
