Why I bought the @Roland

[@RaniOsnat]

I bought my System-8 about a year and a half ago, and it was primarily for the plug outs, because it does them exquisitely well. However... since then I also discover the internal system 8 engine and it is phenomenal! There are multiple oscillator modes including a version of FM, formants, etc., and the filter modes are crazy too. This is a serious noise machine. Also the knob and slider layout is fantastic. As someone who grew up with a DX7 (and I still have it!) I am DONE with synths that require menu diving.

[@alex_darsen]

I bought a Sys-8 a couple of years ago primarily for the plug outs too! Now that Roland came out with the Juno 60 plug out, my hopes have been fulfilled. I had a J60 decades ago, but sold and regretted it from about a week later. When the JU-06a was released, in late summer of ‘19, I hoped Roland would release the ACB model of the 60 as a plug out since. Wasn’t interested in buying the Boutique since it was only 4 voices. At a small synth expo I attended shortly after the JU-06a was released, Roland was there showing off that unit as well as the J-Xm, and a couple other goodies. I asked a Roland rep if they’ll do a plug out of the J60. He said it’s likely but couldn’t really confirm. So I had hoped since then, and here we are. I now have the J8, J60 and P3 on board, and am a happy camper.

[@RaniOsnat]

@@alex_darsen Do you see a big difference in sound compared to the 106?

[@alex_darsen]

@@RaniOsnat Yes. The J60 always sounded more rich or warmer than the 106. I hear it in the plug out too - especially when it comes to the strings. I didn’t hesitate to replace the 106 plug out with it.

[@MuzixMaker]

Roland dropped the ball by not making this with a 5 octave keybed.

[@KordTaylor]

@@alex_darsen Yeah, ,I do NOT understand why the Juno boutique is not 6 voices.

[@fabimawn]

The thing I really love about the System 8 is that you can even layer 2 sounds on top of each other without splitting so you basically have 2 System 8's.

[@gabriellethomas7489]

Jupiter x can layer four sounds!

[@fabimawn]

Wasn't that one only ABM though?

[@michaelhonormusic]

I bought my first Roland System-8 today after being skeptical for a long time. I have been playing with it for a few hours and it´s hands on the best sounding VA synth I have ever come across. Roland should strongly keep updating the ACB technology, they have truly blurred the line between analog and digital with the System-8. This is a keeper!!!!

[@CiteWhyclosa]

I haven't played mine for a while and was thinking of selling it but I played it and couldn't bring myself to part with it. It really is incredible.

[@KordTaylor]

Thanks! Good video but I expected to hear more about why you went with this synth over the others vs. feature-diving on just the 8. Thanks again and I’ll go check out your music now. 😃

I've had the System 8 for a couple years now. I honestly love it. I got the Jupiter XM a year ago, and together, they round out everything you'd want. Haven't had the chance to try the the Juno 60 plugout. I have the JU-06 A Boutique, So I don't feel the need to replace my JX-3P plugout with it.

[@peppemottila2881]

Jupiter xm not emulate accurately jupiter and juno series, for a perfect reproduction, system 8 is the right way

[@ErraticFaith]

It emulates them just fine. In a blind live set 3 of the people who designed them here couldn't even tell the JPX from the original JP-8 some of the time. Considering how much cheaper it is, zencore is a huge step forward.

[@InterstellarMedium]

Salut Nu-Trix! Fantastic choice! I was hoping you would eventually get a System-8 and review it! :) Analog Circuit Behavior is awesome. It's like the "Matrix" of analog electronic instruments :) Like you said, the System-8 is like having 4 perfectly recreated classic analog synths (including their original characters). If I had to keep only one of all my synth (not an easy question!) it would have to be the System-8 - I just love its rich sound and ease of use. I am really looking forward to your next videos on this fine synthesizer! Your videos are a great inspiration!

Good choice I love my System 8 having the ability to change the plug outs is great. I looked at the Jupiter XM but went with the System 8 for it’s ease of use with knob per function and the way the lights go out depending on which plug out synth you are using is fantastic and no menu diving.

Awesome video! Been thinking about getting this for a while, but just wondering if you know....do you have to have a Roland Cloud subscription active in order to access the different plugouts? And if not, do those different plugout synths come included with the System 8 or do you have to buy separate?

[@Nu-trix]

Three PLUG-OUT come with a the System-8. They are part of the factory reset. If you want other plugout and swap them, you will need a Roland cloud account. I have other videos about how the Roland cloud works and choosing and managing the plugouts.

[@deanbr6ndo70]

I always create patches in performance mode.yes it's only 4 note polyphony but in layer mode it gives you everything on the panel TWICE, exception being arpeggiator.fantastic synth.

[@NickHowesAstro]

A modern classic synth, and one which does DAW integration better than any other (along with the System-1). The flawless way in which you can move sounds between the VSTi/Freeze them, edit and keep going, made this a no brainer choice for me (and a System-1 on top). If Roland can do a JP-XA (adding ACB to that form factor/augmenting the Zencore), I think they'd have the greatest synth of the 21st century

[@Iofflight78]

Actually it's Sequential now without the Circuits. Dave Smith Instruments is no more.

Coming from a Deepmind, which has 1000 preset slots, 4x64 seemed too few. But that was the one weakness for me. I can even have the JX-3P back that I owned in 1984, only with effects and a programmer this time.

[@garyturner5204]

Sequential has been a real synth company for several years, since Yamaha gave the Sequential name, etc. back to Dave Smith Instruments. Back decades ago, Dave Smith started Sequential Circuits in the 1970s.

Hey man so I have a JP8000 since 2009 and it has gotten to the point where it's old I've been looking for a Roland replacement for it and the system 8 seems to look great but I have a question IDK about you but I have bought a ton of preset patches that sound really cool, my question is can I import JP8000 banks to the system 8??

[@Nu-trix]

No, the JP-8000 presets are not compatible with the system-8. If Roland makes a JP-8000 plugout it could be compatible.

Bonjour Nutrix, super vidéo comme d'habitude au sujet des synth Roland Je vais vendre mes boutiques (sh01a, SE-02 et vp03) pour ce system 8 est ce que tu penses que cela peut être une bonne solution ? Peut on travailler des patch sur pc (sur la route) puis revenir à la maison et les intégrer dans le system 8? Merci à toi, from France

[@Nu-trix]

Bien sûr le System-8 est très flexible et permet de transférer le même patches que celles pour les plugouts compatibles. Il remplace le SH-01a sans trop de problème (même algorithme) mais garde en tête que le SE-02 est un réel synthétique analogique et non un virtuel. De plus, il n’y a pas directement de remplacement exact du SE-02 en plugout non plus pour le VP03. Mais le System-8 possède un vocoder intégré. Il n’est pas identique mais offre tout de même une solution permettant des sonorités semblables avec un accès à plus de plugout selon tes goûts.

[@th3soundmachinz]

So, in terms of the SuperSaw sound, is the Roland System-8 and Roland JP-8000 the same exact SuperSaw? Or, is the System-8 basically the JP-8000 SuperSaw, but much thicker?

[@Nu-trix]

I think that each synth has a different sound. The System-8 is no different. It’s supersaw is a new step in the long family of Roland Supersaw. I personally like how it sounds.

[@th3soundmachinz]

​@Nu-trix Okay, I see, that makes sense. Because I watched a video from Kraft Music about the role of System 8. And in some part, they said that they took the sound of the JP-8000 and literally just put it on steroids. They basically made the Supersaw in the System 8 from the JP-8000 and then added more thickness to it.

[@its.stacygabriel]

I haven't really done an honest search but when I chose the plug out .. depending on what sound bank im on is what imports. some of those banks only have half or less than half of its slots used. is there an easy way to fill up all the banks when you chose a certain plug out?

[@final_mile_music9713]

I have analogue hardware in the Pro 3, Subsequent 37 and Matriarch, and then have a bunch of software, including the full Roland cloud stuff and lifetime keys. So I think I have all the stuff you’re mentioning on there? I’m still struggling to see why I would just do all this in software. Other than the hardware interaction that it. Maybe that’s the point? My rule for hardware is that it has to do stuff the software cannot.... It’s not because I’m an analog purist....

[@brobocop8293]

i could see your logic here . but there are a few factors. A. the FPA chips native to the system 8 just handle the software code more efficiently. its really snappy and just works like it should. B. The sequencer on the system 8 is fantastic. C. Real time control with knobs and sliders, it just feels like an analog synth as far as the experience goes. D.. every thing else is preference. but for me i cant stand VST's for a ton of different reasons. like one example is every time i want to reformat my computer i have to reinstall tons of different VST's ... and if i try and load up older songs to work on and i didnt install that ONE vst i forgot about the song wont load and i have to track it down and install it and just uuhg. nah. hardware is always there for you with a lick of the power switch.

[@hansolowmfers]

So how about using it as a controller for non-Roland virtual synths? Have you tried that? Kinda bogus that they came up with the Zencore synth engine right on the heels of the ACB and the two arent compatible. Classic Roland... Oh yeah, try a basic cheap dynamic mic for better vocoder clarity.

[@Nu-trix]

Actually the ACB technology found in The System-8 was originally created in 2014 for the System-1 and reinvested in most of the Boutique series (up to now).

[@EverettDudgeon138]

Sad the memory slots are so limited..I think only 60 for each engine....and for whatever reason you can’t save performance mode as a single patch. So it eats up the memory quickly.

Hey Nutrix, how does the System-8's ACB differ from the first 3 Boutiques? (JX-03, JP-08, and JU-06). Thinking of selling my units to upgrade to the S8. Also, are the Plug-Out vst's different from the Plug-Outs inside the S8? I'm wondering if I really should get the S8. It's cause I already have the VSTs, to me it be pointless to have the hardware if it sounds the same as the plug-ins, just thinking 🤔

[@Nu-trix]

For what is said by Roland it would be the same technology. I’m not sure it’s the same algorithms (?). They could have improved since the first generation. But I don’t know. I will do a side by side audio video between the system 8 SH-101 plugout and a SH-01a Boutique to see. The software version should have the same sound has the system 8. Again, I could a VS video about it.

I believe the Roland Boutique range uses a 44.1kHz sampling rate, whereas the Aira range (including the System-8) uses 96 kHz. The SH-101 Plug-out is monophonic whereas the Boutique SH-01A is 4 voice polyphonic. It's a pity the SH-101 Plug-out isn't 8 voice poly on the System-8 or at least 4-voice poly (to be compatible with the System-1/1m too).

That is right! I remember reading that but it just didn’t stick in my mind.

[@lundsweden]

ACB is (to my knowledge) based on circuit simulation modelling programs. For example SPICE, an open source circuit modelling program was introduced in 1975 (Wikipedia). Arturia and other companies have different marketing terms for this, but that is what these three initial supposed technologies are, marketing terms. There is nothing wrong with marketing and I think Roland is making some nice stuff, but I feel they and other legacy synth companies may struggle in the future. As one person, or small development team can put out a comparable VST at a much lower price (TAL J-8, I'm looking at you, or Arturia if you want something more mainstream (and slightly more expensive). Legacy synths possibly will become less desirable too over time. No doubt younger musicians and producers will get misty eyed over old VSTs and there will likely be a market for reissues of today's Plugins ten to twenty years from now.

system 8 and system 1 are true roland successors of vintage roland synth product line, the whole structures looking pretty similar with jupiter and some mini synth(system 1), it plus more osc and filter, effects, lfo types, arp or seq mod knob, but the truth not, while you playing with it you can found the internal routing could very complex(ok most users never give enough notice to internal of every synth, it could has huge difference even the synth type was same, and system 8 and system 1, sounding completely different), osc color mod, also working with other like pitch, lfo, to make a complex sound you have never heard before, to make a future sound, the instruction is, try to use 2 osc, then mod it with flter, pitch mod or lfo(omg sub can be the mod), then choose sync mode(sometimes the ring), then tweak the cross mod to hear, the distinct of it sounds, then when playing, tweaking lfo, cross mod, and sequencer knob, however it also has flaws, the build like a plastic toy at that price range, the keybed could be piano like, and do some optimization, the vst plugin could be more efficient, I have many original presets but I don't have that synth actually, hardware only, price, difficult in sound design, and without amount of 3rd party presets, though it very powerful and ahead, but still can't be popular in modern production market, the massive x, in similar situation, after the powerful synth released many years ago, you can't found it in any popular works, what happened with the world musician?
