System 8
Re: System 8
I thought the system-1 can only store 8 patches maximum on the hardware itself?
Re: System 8
It could, but after the OS update it can store 64 patches.
Well actually 128 if you also count the Plugout patches.

Re: System 8
ok thanks. Didn't know there was an update. Really like the sounds from the System 8. Think there will be a lot System 1's on the used market soon.
Re: System 8
I can imagine that.
I think the System-8 enhances the System-1 significantly.
Decent keys and expanded sonic capabilities.
I wonder if and how the new plugouts behave in a System-1.
I definitely want a System-8, but since my System-1m is a integral part of the modular system I am building, I will keep it. The Eurorack capabilities of the System-1m gives it is own place in my studio.

Re: System 8
Yes, I guess the System 1 can serve a different crowd than the System 8. The 8 is a more mature synth when it comes the size and options and keys (and also the price). The System 8 can be used as your main (stage) synth and the System 1 is more for aside I guess. For some (like me) the System 8 might be too big and it will take to much space in my home studio. I am not a keyboard player. I 'only' use synths for recordings and as a midi controller for soft synths. But I like it very much though!...haha
Re: System 8
Ordered a System-8 this morning :) :) :)
(along with a VP-03)

Re: System 8
Cool, I am considering the VP-03. I would have got a System-8 a couple years ago but I already have a System-1, Jp-08, and JU-06. I would like to play it in person though before I give my final verdict.

Re: System 8
It's clear finally that the support of the previous plug-outs will be available "soon," and the Juno 106 plugout which ships with the System-8 will be available (not clear from the product page, I guess as a VST?) "in 2017."
I will wait until those goals have been achieved, and then consider it.
Meanwhile, it's competing with Ultranova, Nord A1, Waldorf Blofeld and plenty of software synths; I'm not sure the price point will be competitive. It would have been better to price it in the $700-$850 range, for what it offers.
Kind of disappointing, though good to see ACB with more voices.
I consider this a kind of long tail rollout of ACB, before the next generation of Roland stuff, which will probably start with some kind of refresh of the Fantom line, maybe by 2018-2019.
But really, there's not a lot left to do for them at this point, in the area of electronic music, at least.

I'll be selling my System-1, JP-08 and JU-06 because of the direct duplicationSynthtron wrote:Cool, I am considering the VP-03. I would have got a System-8 a couple years ago but I already have a System-1, Jp-08, and JU-06. I would like to play it in person though before I give my final verdict.
Re: System 8
Still unclear to me:
- Is the system-8 usb port of the Aira link type ?
- Will the Juno106 and Jupiter8 plug-out synths be available as VSTs or only as updates to the system-8 hardware synths?
- Will there be a plugin version of the system-8 like there is for the system-1 ? With librarian features ?
- Will Roland release more plug-out plugins in the future ?
I find Roland's communication on this launch to very lacking so far.

JUP8 plugout will be delivered installed in the System-8 in December (sometime), with the 106 coming in January/February. Yes, they will be VSTs
Yes, plug in version of System-8. Librarian unknown.
Yes, Roland plans to develop more plugouts for the System-8 platform
Re: System 8
Wonder if they will be making a desktop/rack version same as System 1, as me like many others have a very limited space for gear.
Re: System 8
Yes, I would consider rack version as well, 4 octaves keyboard is too big.
I wonder if they plan to release some new pluouts for system1 as well? will jupiter 8 and juno 106 plugouts be available for system 1, maybe with limited polyphony? I would get jupiter 8, it sound beautiful. But don't want boutique with tiny controlers.

Re: System 8
No rack or desktop. This is a performance synth.
The ETA is December?

Re: System 8
Agree with Devnor on all counts.
No desktop or rack - not going to happen.
I've been told my expected delivery date is December sometime.
