Roland Cloud System-1 Virtual Instrument

Full Description

Contemporary modern and accurate vintage tones

Since its release, the System-1 has received worldwide acclaim for its ability to produce an astonishing array of synth tones spanning through classic vintage and contemporary modern. The ultimate desert island synth, the System-1 fuses these warm and accurate vintage tones with cutting edge modern synth tones in one package, making it the perfect solution for avid sound designers and modern producers. The bold and unmistakable sound of the original hardware counterpart has been painstakingly recreated through proprietary analog circuit behaviour (ACB) modelling technology.

The structure of the analog circuits has been analysed piece by piece to faithfully recreate the sound down to the last detail. The result is a synth that can create awe-inspiring sounds that will fit in your mix perfectly, from thumping basses, glistening arps, warm pads, plucked synths, lo-fi effects and more, the System-1 Virtual Instrument brings the unmistakable Roland character to your mixes to help you achieve your creative potential.

Advanced arpeggiator

The advanced arpeggiator lets you experiment with unprecedented levels of versatility and playability to create musical perfection and wild and chaotic accidental phrases. Six arpeggio types with six step- settings combine with variable Scatter types and depth to create an almost infinite selection of patterns. In addition to being able to arpeggiate notes, you can arpeggiate synth parameters like cutoff and resonance to build moving sequences and animated textures, perfect for contemporary soundscapes and cinematic textures.

Hardware integration

A must-have for SYSTEM-1 or SYSTEM-1m hardware owners, the Roland Cloud System-1 Virtual instrument supports Roland Plug-out format and has a seamless, bi-directional communication between software and hardware. Delivering an astonishing level of control of your editing functionality and a one-to-one replica of hardware controls, this is the ultimate combination for the live, on the go and performing musician and sound designer looking to carry your sounds and presets with you anywhere you go. Easy parameter editing, transfer sounds back and forth between hardware and software, edit sounds on the fly with real physical controls and more can all be achieved without the need for a computer.

ACB (analog circuit behaviour) technology

The Roland System-1 Virtual Instrument features the latest generation of the renowned Analog Circuit Behaviour (ACB) technology. ACB technology was developed specifically to enable the user to authentically recreate the sound and behaviour of classic analog synthesizers. The new System-1 Virtual Instrument features the most advanced ACB engine yet, powering the four voices of polyphony, versatile LFO's, envelope shaper and high-resolution filters. The ACB engine provides expressive and diverse sound with incredibly smooth filter sweeps with tremendous range, allowing you to create a wide range of tones from classic analog-style pads and basses to dynamic lead synths and other-worldly textures, ideal for the avid sound designer.
