ROLAND PROMARS Analog Synthesizer 1978 | HD DEMO

Demo of the original Roland Promars. Its excellent sound qualities can not be really simulated by software. The original hardware Promars is soundwise not comparable with the new "plugout" software.

I played the Roland Promars with reverb effects from a Lexicon MPX-500 and delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000.

The Roland Promars is a programmable monophonic analog synth. Basically it's a monophonic version of the Roland Jupiter-4. But on the Promars, you have 2 VCO's per voice, not 1 VCO like on the Jupiter. VCO 2 is always identical to VCO 1 except tuning (same volume, same suboscillator, same waveform).

2 VCOs, 2 suboscillators, 24 dB lowpass filter, non resonant highpass filter, 2 envelopes, noise generator, extremely fast LFO with many waveforms, 8 memory locations to store own sounds and a powerful classic Roland sound makes the Promars a great synthesizer."
