More plug-out synths coming?
Have Roland confirmed that they will make more plug-out synths? Or is the third slot for the existing mono plug-outs?
Re: More plug-out synths coming?
According to Roland the 3rd slot is to be used for the existing plug outs and any new one that they will produce in the futuremangepange wrote:Have Roland confirmed that they will make more plug-out synths? Or is the third slot for the existing mono plug-outs?

The existing plug-outs are not compatible with the System-8. The only ones we can play with is the System-8 native engine and the Jupiter 8 engine. The Juno-106 engine will hopefully be released in the beginning of 2017.
If you need the SH-2, the SH-101, System 100 or the Promars, you need to use System-1 or use them within your DAW. They might later be converted to work with System-8, and possibly also something new, but I am not holding my breath.

I read somewhere that the existing plugouts will be made compatible with system 8 in a future update. Not sure where I read that

"Support for SYSTEM-8 on previously released plug-out synths to be available soon."
What "soon" means is unspecified. I don't know if it's the System-8 firmware that needs to be updated, or if it's the plug-outs that need to be rewritten. I just hope I am not expected to repurchase the plugouts once more.

Re: More plug-out synths coming?
It'll be a shame if they don't at least make a JX-3P plugout available.
I know I am in the minority, but I don't really care much about the Jupiter-8 plugout. I really want the Juno-106 and JX-3P, however. An SH-2 would be icing on the cake, as I could retire my System-1 in that case.
An Alpha-Juno/MKS-50 plugout would be a welcome addition.
If Roland would ever get over their "not invented here" nonsense, models of other classic 'boards - even if they had to be named creatively for copyright purposes - would hit it out of the park. Korg seems to get no grief for calling things "MG", "P5" or "OB", for instance.
The ultimate would be licensing the plug-out format to third party developers.

Re: More plug-out synths coming?
I like to add the D-50 (unlikely I suppose) and a VP-330.
Re: More plug-out synths coming?
I'll also vote for those two + a V-Synth!Tom_1970 wrote:I like to add the D-50 (unlikely I suppose) and a VP-330.

Re: More plug-out synths coming?
Given that the S8 has an analogue input (which you can run the vocoder on.....)..... and that it and the System 1 both have MIDI I/O..... well, I can think of interesting ways to combine the two, giving you more voices, with interesting results, that may lead you to want to rethink giving up your S1. :)zombietactics wrote:It'll be a shame if they don't at least make a JX-3P plugout available.

Re: More plug-out synths coming?
Current plan-of-the-week (I can be fickle, lol) is to not buy an S-8. I've really had it with manufacturers not including aftertouch on instruments.realtrance wrote: ... may lead you to want to rethink giving up your S1. :)
Currently looking at Prophet-6, OB-6 and awaiting the Behringer Deep Mind 12 ... we shall see.
Re: More plug-out synths coming?
would love it if they chained the S8 & S1 for more voices....!!! Please :)
I'm over the DeepMind12 now. Sounds ok but I'll limiting my Menu diving these days.
OB6 Desktop could be next on hit list

1) You have one and are dissatisfied, or ....
2) You are no longer interested in getting one?
