5U 002-

Demo of the Club of the Knobs C921B. Part 2 shows how: - the exp. contr. is trigged by a midi keyboard; - the phase lock via the sync in (synced to an VC LFO); - a sequencer running through the exp. contr.!

The lin. contr. input couldn't be demonstrated as I've no fitting keyboard for that feature.

No after processing done. Just the raw sound.

"It has been professionally fully serviced and tuned, everything is working just fine, it just needs a new owner to use and cherish it.

One nice touch is the Audio In jack, where you can run your own sounds through the analogue filter and gate it via the keyboard in parallel with the onboard sounds."

ROLAND Officially Introduces the SYSTEM-500 Analog Eurorack Modules by Malekko Heavy Industry

The Roland System-500 modules (manufactured by Malekko) are here. Links below take you to the individual pages on Roland's website. These modules are based on the original Roland System-100m and System-500 analog modules. Roland worked directly with Malekko on manufacturing the modules. They are Roland's circuits manufactured into modules by Malekko. It's awesome to see the Malekko M at the bottom of each module as a tribute.

512 DUAL VCO

"Based on the classic SYSTEM-100M modular synthesizer, the SYSTEM-500 is a fully analog recreation of one of the most revered electronic instruments of all time. Newly designed in Eurorack format, the SYSTEM-500 delivers the classic character and functionality of the original with the advantages of a modern instrument. Built in the USA and assembled in Japan, the SYSTEM-500 is made to exacting standards with top-quality components and solid controls. And it’s surprisingly affordable, turning the fantasy of finally owning this legendary instrument into reality.

The 512 Dual VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) is a single module consisting of two voltage controlled oscillators. Each independent VCO produces frequencies across a wide range with 1V/octave tracking and dedicated pulse, triangle, and saw wave outputs. Variable pulse width is available via panel control or CV modulation. Each oscillator’s frequency can also be synchronized to the other in weak or strong modes to achieve a unique 'sync' sound."

521 DUAL VCF

"The 521 Dual VCF (voltage controlled filter) module features two separate low pass filters for modifying the timbre of audio sources. Each filter has its own dedicated controls for frequency cutoff, resonance, and a fixed high pass filter with two switchable cutoff points. Audio and CV input mixers on each channel allow the blending of multiple audio signals and modulation sources."

530 DUAL VCA

"Based on the classic SYSTEM-100M modular synthesizer, the SYSTEM-500 is a fully analog recreation of one of the most revered electronic instruments of all time.
