Roland System-8 - Easy Listening

[@barrymatthews2606]

Brilliant sound. You could all most right a song with that tune. It's so chilled out.

[@neonpulse1331]

Thank you Barry ever so much!

I'm hoping to get a nice synth in the next year or so and Ive been going back and forth between the System 8 and the Rev2, but I'm starting to lean towards the system 8. Sounds awesome btw!

[@neonpulse1331]

Hey Colin, I am thinking of getting a Rev2 for my Big Birthday this year, but am also very pleased with my first Synth (monologue XD). The system 8 is awesome, and I have no hangups about the analogue Vs digital debate. The system 8 is awesome for those 80's / 90's Roland Sounds. A very great and capable synth.

[@lucasleroy3196]

I had both and they’re both great, go for the system 8 (I sold it bc I needed money and while I bought the rev2 brand new the system 8 was second hand so it’s the one I sold). Hopefully I can buy one again soon :)

[@neonpulse1331]

Sorry for not replying sooner. If you love 80's music, buy the Sys 8! It is awesome an synth and will not let you down! Ironically, I bought the Novation Summit instead of the Rev2 after reading many reviews. I would love an iconic synth such as a Prophet in my collection. After sending the Novation Summit back 2 times, and ultimately keeping it, I do not regret my decision. However, if your love 80's, while the summit is a flag ship synth that is capable of way more, the Sys 8 just can just deliver those sounds! Sys 8, you will not regret it.

Thank you for sharing this video. This rack looks like the perfect modern ensemble. All it needs to create. Would be awesme to see some more easy listening collections from that rack 😁❤️👏🏻. All the best & be blessed, Martin

[@neonpulse1331]

Thanks Martin, I have a few ideas in the pipeline. However, I am struggling to get the time and a little inspiration to finish them. Fingers crossed I will publish something soon! 👍

Sorry but iv had to listen to this 3 times a day as I like this tune so much, I can't wait to get hold of a proper keyboard. As I would like to play this one my self, once I know how to play it. As I play by ear, I unfortunately don't read music, as I play by ear , & love creating my own tunes.😊

[@neonpulse1331]

Thankyou for your kind words. Playing by ear is an admirable skill I wish I possessed! Good luck with all your future endeavours!

Many thanks Nicolas! The system 8 is a beautiful instrument!!

[@rayderrich]

It sounds very Roland-ish so that is good, right?! A nice song, I enjoyed listening to it.

[@neonpulse1331]

Thank you! :-)

[@SlowBloke123]

Giving the melody space… nice! Screams for the pad to be along 2nd time around just a little sequencing for bass so u can do the pad ? It’s always fun to see people do their synth stuff but this actually is a nice song too. Well done sir. Subbed.

[@neonpulse1331]

Thank you for the kind words and advice. I will have a play around with the Bass and Pads. I've done something similar with another track, sequenced a nice monopoly bass on the Hydrasynth for a synthwave sound. I just can't finish the 80's style melody on the System 8. The main tune is there, it just needs other sections.

[@SlowBloke123]

@@neonpulse1331 Good stuff mate - most important enjoy it :)

Epic performance on your synthesizer. I love it all the. Great beat. The synthesizer sound is very fat. Nice roland

the green System 8 👍

[@neonpulse1331]

It's an inspiring and amazing sounding synth!

[@ГриХАН-б1г]

But according to Roland JD XA, he is also autonomous or not , we also really like him , we think which one to choose is the one and the one cool good ? Can you tell me which is better and what is different ?

[@neonpulse1331]

Until yesterday I had never had the opportunity to play the JDXA, and I only had seconds to try it. I would love them both but I think I would stick with the System 8 for the 80's synth sounds. Mind, those Super Natural string sounds on the JDXA do sound nice.

[@neonpulse1331]

I love the Super Natural sounds of the JD-XI / JD-XA, but have not been fortunate enough to experience them.

[@philipgilligan_art]

Nice

[@neonpulse1331]

Thanks Phil !

[@user-Alexey.w9t]

In system 8, this batch of lead is amazing."plastic box" is the name of the preset ?

[@neonpulse1331]

The preset is amazing.! It is the first 'performance' preset on the System 8 engine.

[@user-Alexey.w9t]

​@@neonpulse1331How can I find out the modulation settings of this preset?I heard an identical sound on an analog synthesizer from a famous musician.

[@NKMKJK]

Sounds great! What patches are you using for the lower and upper registers?

[@neonpulse1331]

it is the default patch on the performance bank (1-1 yellow lights, 'Fat Split'). I believe it is made up of D7 (BS DF Bass and A-3 (PL Synth Edge).

[@ГриХАН-б1г]

Roland System 8 and you can 't tell me you can play it offline without any connection of programs and laptops , just took the amplifiers speakers and plugged in and play ! is it possible ?

[@annother3350]

Yes, once the plug-outs are loaded, no internet connection or laptops needed. You only need it if you buy new synth plug-outs and transfer them to this keyboard. I think you can choose any 3 of the Roland Plugout synths in the machine at once

[@neonpulse1331]

It was totally offline, a bit of DAWless fun. I used a default default performance patch.

[@neonpulse1331]

It did include all the default preset settings that ship with the Modx, drums and arpeggio's.....

Nice work. I'd be using the one on the bottom left for the bass.

[@neonpulse1331]

Man, now you have hit a nerve! I bought this keyboard as an interim after sending back a Waldorf Blofeld (Amazing, but damaged second hand) and buying my Yamaha Modx (Love). What a capable keyboard the BS2 is. However, it has had to grow on me! I have forced myself to love the bass sounds (checkout my most recent post, even though I now own the might Summit!).

[@AndyBondo]

@@neonpulse1331 I like to nearly always play with my left hand an analog bass. These days when I split my keyboard as you are here I midi a minatur on the left for bass and a hyra in the right on an arturia 61 remote .I've gone all rack now . Saves room. I also now have a Kyra and an integra7 arp 2600 b. And a Waldorf vocoder all thru a mpc1 Compact and I can take it all out if I do a gig. Keep on playing with 2 hands It's great to see! Good tune. I like it
