The chance of a D-50 plug-out is close to zero. The System-8 is an analog modeling box. The programming interface for the D-50 is completely different and does not map to the standard controls found on analog polysynths. As someone else mentioned, other classic Roland ANALOG synths will become avail...

The System-8 lacks aftertouch, so using it as a MIDI controller for something as advanced as the Integra-7 wouldn't make much sense. If you can live without aftertouch, well then, perhaps you'll be fine with it.

Hey,

Wondering if anyone has directly transferred patches from the D-50 card in their V-Synth XT to a D-550? Or did you go through a computer software editor first?

Also, can individual patches be transferred, or must you do the entire bank of 64 sounds at a time?

I don't think Roland needs anything more to make or break the System-8. In one box now, even if you don't fill the third plug-out slot, you have three synths: a System-8, a Jupiter 8, and a Juno 106. Each of these sounds fantastic, and significantly different from one another. And, you can make spli...

Can you live with only 49 keys? If not, keep the 106. If this doesn't bother you, then a System-8 with the 106 is really fantastic. It sounds like a real 106, but adds some extra capabilities, like the step sequencer, for example, and I think a second oscillator (trying to recall offhand, can't conf...

They are already available.

Should there be some kind of indicator on the display showing the presence of a mic signal? I wonder...

Hi XT users. I just picked up what seemed to be an excellent condition XT. I have installed the 2.02 software, full factory reset, etc. V-Synth sounds and the D-50 VC-1 work perfectly. I can't get the mic to work, and more troubling is that virtually none of the vocal designer patches make any sound...
