Roland System-500 510 Synth Eurorack Module

[@robertsyrett1992]

Sounds amazing! Gotta love actual analog coming from Roland again.

[@NoirEtBlancVie]

Robert Syrett agreed, been super interested in the 500 series!

[@MrBasic]

Wonderful! Thank you for posting. I will grow myself a 500 System. It is just so basic. I love the sound so much! I am also glad they are going with the classic black and mirror cap style, which hardly anybody wants to stick with nowadays. I'd like to see it jam with the DFAM...

[@NoirEtBlancVie]

Love that you’re covering the 500 series!!!!

[@arechfer]

great!!!...cannot wait for the 505vcf review...i've just ordered!

[@albywelch]

do all the these Roland Euro rack modules make that popping sound when changing the oscillator footage? I hate that popping sound...

[@louierubio]

great video man, very helpful!

[@MorningStrategy]

The modules are a partnership with malekko.

[@eanroad]

I learn by just hearing you talk and tweak! Cheers!

[@onceuponasynth]

Glad to hear it!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Very interesting!

[@vigilancebrandon3888]

Super cool. Love your style

[@reptilespantoso]

Nice overview. Found it on Gearslutz. Subscribed.

[@onceuponasynth]

Thanks, welcome aboard!

[@InjaLab]

Awesome. Do you have a list of modules somewhere? What case are you using?

[@onceuponasynth]

Don't have a full list anywhere, but I'll try to write one up in the description next time. Case is an Intellijel 84hp 7U.

[@InjaLab]

Cool! Thank you for your videos, they are consistently high quality and I learned a lot from watching them.

[@sasarasa88]

if you still have the sh 101, it would be great to compare it with this module, and check if the module can get close to the sound of the 101

[@j-ltekbrain2177]

It's supposed to be close to Roland 100M (www.vintagesynth.com/roland/sys100m.php), not the SH-101.

[@JosBlomsma]

I think I like the bleeps when switching octaves.

[@Unifono2012]

It sounds awesome. But bleeps are annoying. Strange behavior

[@reptilespantoso]

Doepfer VCOs have that too. If you want to get rid of that, I'd recommend an ACL Octave module. It's a precise fine tune control as well. And a mult for the 3 extra destinations (from one CV pitch input) www.audiophilecircuitsleague.com/product-details/oktave.html

[@EvilDragon666]

Malekko guy said it's because they used non-shorting rotary switches (break the connection then make a new one, rather than making a new connection then breaking the old one, which is what shorting rotary switches are doing). Apparently nobody makes shorting rotary switches in the dimensions they wanted for this module. This is a terrible shame, since the modules sound amazing, but the bleeps when switching octaves are fucking ridiculous and for the price you pay, they should've come up with a better solution. It's practically a dealbreaker for me. :/ ACL Octave is fucking 175€ more to "fix" something that should've been working smoothly and without glitches from the get go. Ridiculous.

[@lightyear4821]

@@EvilDragon666 Agree, I was here thinking of buying one but this made me change my mind immediately

[@emilyschmanks]

sweet rig dude unrelated but do you plan on getting a matriarch? thoughts on it?

[@onceuponasynth]

I haven't really studied it much but it seems cool on the surface. Can't afford one now but maybe one day.

[@Shane11011]

What is the actual depth of this module? Haven't been able to find an exact number.

[@Chevytravelleruk]

Lovely sounding module but I can't believe Malekko didn't buffer the octave switch properly... that glitch is so unnessesary

[@station2station544]

My 2-32" knob bleeps also, when rotated

[@aidanvinum]

Too bad the range knob clicks... takes me out of the game. 16 hp is all i have left. I’d love a dual oscillator or a really good oscillator that would compliment my Mother 32.

[@spiderlab2526]

Woh! Ear warning at 9:20.

[@ogasi1798]

SERIOUS FUCK UP on the octave switch, should not be happening nor released in such a state.

[@acidjack]

1,35 minutes adwerts..come on you tube..that is shit. Your videos are cool but this comerzials sucks

[@dannybrazen]

i love the idea of modular, but the sequencers everyone uses suck. they completely remove the performance aspect of an instrument and just play rigid notes. play the thing through a keyboard and add some life!

[@NickHchaos]

Check out the stillson hammer mk2, this and a few others allow you to play multiple tracks at once with lots of changes and modulation, I use it for everything.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Yeah, I'm thinking Roland XP-80...That'll be killer. It's already got 2000+ patches, plus floppy stuff. I could entertain myself for a VERY long time with one of these...And you don't even NEED a band!
