Too Much Awesome!

I can't even begin to say too many good things about the Roland System-1! This piece holds a special place in my heart as I discovered my signature sound on it! The sounds on this piece are so clean and unashamedly digital, which can be a great thing if you know how to use it. Additionally, upon firmware upgrade, there are six new waveforms! I love this unit, and it's my first stop when I explore sound. It's a great piece to learn subtractive synthesis too!

Incredible synth

Roland has always been famous for their classic synths. The System 1 is no let down. ACB or analog circuit behavior technology allows the synth to recreate the original classic synth sound and feel. It can also host plugins of popular and legendary synths with or without a computer! Lots of control over your sound and easy to use!

Awesome Variable key synthesizer

Roland has done an amazing job here with this synthesizer. With Roland's Analog Circuit Behavior technology it is able to closely copy the sound of an Analog Synth. Built in four oscillators will be able to provide you with a very fat authentic synth sound. Also comes with a very advanced arpeggiator with tones of useful options like a "Scatter" setting. With a easy to use control surface, expansive options, you are able to harness great synth sounds in this very affordable instrument. This is a real hands on product review from Nabil at Sam Ash in Lyndhurst, OH

Amazing sound and options

We have this on display in our store and everyone loves this guy. Amazing synth sounds and so many modulation options. A great features is that Roland has a plug out program that allows you to throw in presets of classic roland synths into your system 1 through you computer and have fun with those. Nice and compact and fits right into your bag.

Awesome synth and sounds!

This is an awesome synth for the price. I've been messing around with it at a friend's house and am probably going to pick one up for myself. It's got an insane amount of sound options and stuff I've never heard in a synth before, plus all of the classic sounds. This is great for anyone producing electronic music.
