General

Roland have added the S-1 Tweak Synth to the ever-growing AIRA Compact Series, serving up another space-saving synth that offers authentic Roland-grade sound. Unlike the T-8 and J-6, the S-1 isn't a recreation of any existing synthesizer, but is powered by the ACB engine which is able to simulate the performance of various Roland-made chips and motherboards in great detail.

A Few Features of the Roland AIRA Compact S-1

The S-1 can be described as a 4-voice subtractive synthesizer equipped with multiple oscillators per voice. That said, it takes things beyond good-old sawtooth and square waves, allowing you to 'draw up' your own oscillator, which technically results in infinite sound-shaping potential. Add that to the built-in D-Motion system - a Roland-designed motion sensor that can turn movement into controller data - and you've got a great core for fresh virtual-analogue sounds.

Further Features

Needless to say, The AIRA Compact S-1 Tweak Synth has been loaded with various effects, including chorus, delay and reverb and, while the controls look fairly straightforward, there's more to this piece of synthesis kit than meets the eye. In fact, it features a serious steptime sequencer and can be sync'd with other AIRA Compact units as well as Eurorack systems, completing a compact yet versatile synth that's definitely worth the investment if you're already running more AIRA Compact gear.

Great little synth. Amazing what they can fit in for the price. Really lovely sounds and to play around with but takes some menu diving. I'm sat here now like a man of a certain age with a coffee and the manual trying to work out how it all works! I'm a YouTube video would be better.

Did a fair bit of research and decided this was the sort of synth I'm looking for in terms of features and price. It's a brilliantly designed bit of kit and very inspiring. Easy to spend an hour or two just experimenting and noodling about with it and it's a great way to get into synthesis, too. Haven't tried to link it up with anything yet. Highly recommended.

Leuk dingetje, kan er toffe geluiden uitkrijgen voor zo’n klein apparaat. Erg leuk om mee te nemen op reis. Ik heb m in combinatie met de Roland t-8 wat n mooie combo is.
Toch vind ik dat er weinig pre-loopjes/geluiden opzitten (16) en vindt de arpeggio modes ook best beperkt. Maar toch voor zo’n klein apparaat net n kleine prijs best grote blij ;)

Wat een geweldig apparaat. Ik heb hem nu 1 maand en ontdek nog dagelijks nieuwe mogelijkheden.
Het geluid is fenomenaal voor zo'n klein apparaat. Zeer tevreden ook over de handleiding. De 64-stappen sequencer in 4 banken van 16 patronen maken het een enorm krachtige werk/synthesizer. Dat ook de instelling van de knoppen en de bewegingssensor kunnen worden opgenomen is echt bijzonder. Het formaat is net handzaam genoeg om niet te klein te zijn voor de vingers, en heerlijk compact om op reis mee te nemen. Ook gebruiken on/the/road is heerlijk dankzij de accu. Dat r geen vaste voeding nodig is is een enorme plus voor mij, want ik maak soms lange busritten. Zeer tevreden!

Een veelzijdig apparaat. Zeer compact en een kwaliteitsproduct van Roland. Na een week nog steeds een goed gevoel. Al zoekend proberen met dank aan de duidelijke handleiding maar vooral ook de tutorials op YouTube. Een betaalbare start-synth, ideaal voor een eerste kennismaking. Deze S-1 blijft in mijn collectie, heeft een eigen klankkleur en eenvoud in bediening. Prima aanschaf. Sterkste punt is naar mijn idee de live-functie, op basis van vast patroon (tot 64 steps) met diverse filters, tempowisselingen, effect-opties en beweging-sensors verrassende sounddesigns. Opnamen gedaan m.b.v. Audicity, werkt perfect en daardoor nog veel meer te ontdekken met de standaard effecten en plug-ins / VST's. Ook midi aan boord. Door deze ervaring is op termijn de volgende stap een rijkere klankproductie zoals bijvoorbeeld de Polyend GrooveBox.

Hele goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Geluid is heel goed en er zijn meer dan genoeg opties om je te vermaken. Sommige instellingen zitten verstopt achter wat menu scrollen maar dat is te verwachten in zo'n kleine maat. Toetsenbord is nogal klein om echt op te spelen dus een midi keyboard is wel een aanrader. Maar je kan het gewoon meenemen in je tas en overal spelen zonder stroom. Je hebt alleen een koptelefoon nodig.
Dit is de grootste reden dat ik zelf voor deze heb gekozen. Voor hobby synth is hij perfect voor mij.

Kwalitatief goede apparatuur, ook leuk voor wie als hobbyist (zoals ik) van software instruments overstapt op de fysieke synth. Levert mooie geluidskwaliteit.

Absoluut voordeel is dat mijn midikeyboard van Nektar probleemloos aansloot (wel even de juiste channel instellen op je S-1) en ook opnemen in DAW ging eigenlijk meteen perfect.

Nadeel is het formaat. Dit kan een voordeel zijn wanneer je er veel mee reist of een klein bureau hebt, maar de knopjes zijn daardoor ook allemaal wat aan de krappe kant. Was de S-1 een slagje groter geweest, dan had ik daar een paar tientjes extra ook voor over gehad.
Ook zijn de menu's voor mij als relatieve beginner niet meteen overzichtelijk en is de handleiding erbij wel vereist. Maar dat laatste is tegelijk ook weer een voordeel: het tekent de grote hoeveelheid mogelijkheden die in dit apparaatje gestopt zijn.

Alles bij elkaar zeker een aanrader, kwaliteit-prijs verhouding is top.
