Am just back from my Roland Planet shop.

TR-8 - ordered
System-1 - ordered

:) :)

[Tom_1970]

Damn..you're quick! ;-)

I definitely want the TR-8, no doubt.
I have lot of fun with the Volca beats, but I think the TR-8 will be more useful for me.

The System-1 is very interesting, but I an't wait until there are more details released.
I like the idea of a plugin system. I liked it in my VariOS and System-1 looks far more better when it comes to controls. I am curious which software/plugins they are planning.

[Tom_1970]

I was thinking that it would be nice to use the TR-8 to send the sequence notes to the percussion part of the Jupiter 80 (or 50).

[cello]

Can't wait to get them! :)

I know they're planning the first VST to be SH101.

[Tom_1970]

So I read, but didn't see anything about upcoming plugins.

They say classic synths...so I can guess there will be some kind of Jupiter/Juno synth.
They already emulated a D50 in the V-Synth and VariOS and I would like that also in the System-1.
Some kind of Variphrase sampling device would also be nice.

Cool with the option of running the plugins onboard or on an computer.

But will the plugins on an computer run without system-1?

I can understand if they use the unit as an dongle, but I would really like some old cult Roland synths as vst,s!
Not sure about the unit, 25 keys without velocity ??

EDIT: Found an little Demo!

The way I understand it System-1 is the host for future Roland legacy synths, meaning the synths Roland will release are written specifically to be processed by the System-1 and they do not run on a computer.
Hence the term 'plug-out'.

I think Roland's AIRA range looks and sounds great, especially the TR8 and the System-1.

So is Acid House making a big comeback? I haven't been paying attention. That would be neat and I'd like to get in on that if so.

I guess I wonder did Roland make these because there is a high demand for acid sounds or because they want to create a new era of that?

I'm pretty interested. I sold some gear last week and thought the money was going to go to savings but who knows now.

Was so hoping they made it with real analogue. Oh well. Still sounds kinda fun...

[cello]

I'm glad that it's not analogue - Roland is looking forward, not back. Yes they have taken a classic but they've done it differently and added so much more than the original could ever do.

Point is, going analogue is a backward step. What is SO wrong about creating music on hugely powerful digital instruments?
