General
The launch of Roland's Aira series offered a breath of fresh air. Classics like the TB-303 and TR-808/909 didn't just receive a makeover, but were also enhanced with new technology. In addition to the TB3 and the TR8, the System-1 was issued - a plug-out synthesizer that allows you to import synthesizer applications, and therefore serves as a host for Roland plug-ins. Roland's System-1m modular plug-out synthesizer follows in its footsteps, but offers a number of welcome extras.
Characteristics of the Roland System-1m
As you may have guessed from the addition of the letter m, the System-1m is a module edition of the previously released System-1. The plug-out synth's architecture can be freely reconfigured, and its front panel offers a variety of controls. Like the System-1, this module edition features two oscillators, an LFO, a mixer (which also controls a sub oscillator and noise) and a filter. Thanks to Roland's ACB (Analog Circuit Behaviour) technology, the plug-out synth sounds just like an old analogue synth. An entirely new feature is the System-1m's patch connectors, which effectively turn it into a semi-modular system. It's like a System-100 with a new look!
Other features
Aira gear can easily be distinguished by its bright coloured lights, and the System-1m has its fair share of them too. Even the patch connectors are illuminated, giving the plug-out synth a real sci-fi look. The System-1m is fitted with rack holes as well, both at the top and the bottom, which make it fit for installation in a Eurorack. "But how about its sound?", you might be asking yourself. Roland has quite a reputation to uphold, but the System-1m passes the test with flying colours. Are you an avid parameter tweaker or EDM producer? In that case you won't regret treating yourself to Roland's System-1m!
