  • Analog In A Box.

    Analog heaven, along with 4 synths in one (mine, a refurbished, came with 3rd plugin). System 8 has some beautiful filters and the pure tones stand out. I've owned the Jupiter 8 and my first synth - Juno 106 is back home as well. Omnisphere has implemented System 8 as a plug out and voices are unlimited. It has replaced my 49 key controller keyboard and works more easily as a plugin controller,e.g.,where labeled controls are normally available for midi learn functions. Best bang for the buck I've ever gotten beyond the Integra 7. It doesn't replace my M3 or Korg Trident, but it does save tons of space and allowed me to sell several other keyboards. A no-brainer.

  • System-8 plug-out synth is a showcase of Roland synth history

    Don't pass by this synth without hearing it first! It has a wonderful warm sound with 100% accurate and faithful representation of the classic Roland synths. It's super easy to build custom sounds as well. Very underrated!

  • Super synth

    This thing is one of the nicest VS's out there. Very analog feel. About 90% knob-per function. Over a hundred controls! Full I/O with CV and trigger as well as MIDI and USB. Audio in too. It just kills.
