It combines the features of the original Model 101 Synthesizer and Model 102 Expander modules from the SYSTEM-100, giving you an incredibly fat and uniquely versatile two-oscillator monosynth with modular routing capabilities.
Created in the golden age of analog synthesizers, Roland’s SYSTEM-100 was a true gamechanger when first introduced to the world. In addition to its powerful oscillators and filters, the SYSTEM-100 possessed modular patching capabilities, dramatically increasing sound design options for the user.
Pairing a Model 101 Synthesizer with a Model 102 Expander in the SYSTEM-100 gave you two VCOs and two LFOs to work with, as well as sample and hold, ring modulation, and a noise generator that all worked seamlessly together. With the addition of its modular routing capabilities, the SYSTEM-100’s sonic palette was staggering, turning out the fattest of basses, in-your-face sync leads, dense textures, and exotic soundscapes.
The SYSTEM-100 Software Synthesizer is a detailed, circuit-level recreation of the original. Sound and behaviour are reproduced with total accuracy, while several modern additions improve upon the original design.
The SYSTEM-100 can be used as a plug-in in your favourite DAW, and it also supports the PLUG-OUT feature in select Roland hardware synthesizers. Host it in the SYSTEM-8 and get one-to-one, pre-mapped controls for hands-on operation, or pair it with the SYSTEM-1m for virtual and physical routing plus modulation capabilities.
Each pair includes a 1/8" (3.5mm) connector with a 1/4" (6.3mm) adaptor, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio devices. The gold-plated connectors minimise signal loss and ensure reliable connectivity, whether plugged into studio equipment or personal devices.
Features
- The Model 101 Synthesizer and Model 102 Expander are combined into a single interface, so you can use the VCOs, LFOs, S&H, and Ring Mod in both units with no patching
- A 14x15 routing matrix enables quick patching, with all connections visually reflected as patch cables
- Toggle patching on/off or quickly see the entire signal flow
- Tempo-syncing arpeggiator
- Modern effects: onboard reverb, tempo-syncing delay, and lush phaser
