Product Description

  • Virtual Reproduction of the Legendary 1975 Semi-Modular Monosynth   Cross-platform PLUG-OUT instrument for computer DAWs and select Roland hardware synths The SYSTEM-100 Software Synthesizer is a modern reproduction of Roland’s legendary semi-modular monosynth from 1975. It combines the features of the original Model 101 Synthesizer and Model 102 Expander modules from the SYSTEM-100
  • giving you an incredibly fat and uniquely versatile two-oscillator monosynth with modular routing capabilities.    Semi-Modular Monosynth  Created in the golden age of analog synthesizers

  • the SYSTEM-100 possessed modular patching capabilities
  • dramatically increasing sound design options for the user.    Adventures in Sound  Pairing a Model 101 Synthesizer with a Model 102 Expander in the SYSTEM-100 gave you two VCOs and two LFOs to work with
  • as well as sample and hold
  • ring modulation
  • and a noise generator that all worked seamlessly together. With the addition of its modular routing capabilities
  • the SYSTEM-100’s sonic palette was staggering

  • in-your-face sync leads
  • dense textures
  • and exotic soundscapes.    Plug In Your Own SYSTEM-100  The SYSTEM-100 Software Synthesizer is a detailed
  • circuit-level recreation of the original. Sound and behavior are reproduced with total accuracy
  • while several modern additions improve upon the original design:   The Model 101 Synthesizer and Model 102 Expander are combined into a single interface
  • so you can use the VCOs
  • LFOs
  • and Ring Mod in both units with no patching  A 14x15 routing matrix enables quick patching
  • with all connections visually reflected as patch cables  Toggle patching on/off or quickly see the entire signal flow  Tempo-syncing arpeggiator  Modern effects: onboard reverb
  • tempo-syncing delay
  • and lush phaser  Hardware Integration  The SYSTEM-100 can be used as a plug-in in your favorite DAW
  • and it also supports the PLUG-OUT feature in select Roland hardware synthesizers. Host it in the SYSTEM-8 and get one-to-one
