Product Description

• Supersonic Compuphonic  Cross-platform PLUG-OUT instrument for computer DAWs and select Roland hardware synths. A sibling of the legendary JUPITER-4
• this rare and wonderful synthesizer from 1979 features an evocative voice with a thick
• rich sound
• and is increasingly sought after on the used market. Sonically accurate down to the circuit level
• the versatile PROMARS plug-in cranks out big bass and lead tones with the unmistakable character of Roland synths from the era. Big Little Brother Initially designed as a "kid brother" to the JUPITER-4
• the deceptively PROMARS married the stability and flexibility of microprocessor control with the rich sound of analog
• and was one of the first synths with onboard memory. This powerful monophonic instrument boasted fat buzzy leads and a powerful low end
• proving big things often come in little packages. Otherworldly Tones While the JUPITER-4 featured one VCO and one sub-oscillator per voice
• PROMARS had two of each. Users could detune them to produce a distinctive unison chorus effect
• producing sounds like a four-VCO synthesizer. It sounded positively huge
• making it a go-to synth for fat
• growling basses and searing lead tones. Plug In Your Own PROMARS Roland’s software version of PROMARS perfectly recreates the sound of this rare
• vintage instrument using original design specs and a detailed
• part-by-part analysis of each analog circuit. But it also features some new capabilities only found in the plug-in: Each oscillator has extended range for more flexibility The LFO includes a new Random waveform setting Full user control of noise and pulse width Advanced arpeggiator with tempo sync Modern effects: reverb
• bit-crusher
• and tempo-syncing delay Hardware Integration PROMARS is also a PLUG-OUT synthesizer that can be hosted in Roland’s SYSTEM-8
• SYSTEM-1
• and SYSTEM-1m hardware synthesizers. This means users can work in a computer-based DAW or perform live without a computer using the exact same sounds. They can even send sounds back and forth between the hardware and software
• and use the hardware as a hands-on controller.
