New Roland System 8 Leaked

Update: And we have a render of the front panel.

Update2: Angle shot in via Soviet Space Child.


Looks like a four octave Roland System-1 with more controls for $1499.

Curious if it will have the CV IO of the System-1m, and whether it will be capable of more than the System-1/1m. I'm guessing at least eight voice polyphony considering the name.

We'll find out more on 909 day if not sooner.

"The Origin Keyboard. Undoubtedly the deepest and most versatile synth ever made. An instant classic! Pristine condition, like new. From Arturia's last run before being discontinued. High quality Bourns encoders for longevity. Functions perfectly. Oscillator/Filter emulations include: ARP 2600, CS-80, Jupiter-8, Minimoog, SEM, Prophet VS Wavetables. Extremely cool machine. Really fun to program and play."

"For sale is a pristine condition Modal 008 analog synth with original packaging. Thick, warm sounds, great interface, knobby goodness. This synth also has the sublime Fatar semi-weighted synth-action keybed that you'll find on higher-end synths like the Moog Voyager XL and the $20k Schmidt 8. I've got too much gear and need to raise funds for a tape machine, so this has to go. You know this synth well and have lusted after it if you're reading this ad. "

Oberheim OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"This has had a rebuilt power supply, new key bushings, polished key contacts, and the voice cards had fresh capacitors and tuning calibration pots installed. Auto tune passes all voices and it's tuning is stable.The power supply is rebuild more robust than stock so you can operate the synth safely and cooler over a long duration. It's voices are panned so that every other one comes out of each side for a stereo panning fun which can be changed via trimpots on the voice card boards. That being said, the OBXA is a special type of synth that needs the right owner. One who is not a stranger to vintage synths and their insides. You'll probably need to get inside every now and then for some tweaking as the seasons change or when you move the synth around so if you're afraid of the inside of vintage synths, the OBXa is just not your synth and I recommend you try the new ob6."

Roland TR-8, TB-3, TR-505, + Circuit & Volca Acid Techno Jam

Published on Sep 2, 2016 anode8

"Here's another session featuring the Roland TR-505, TR-8 & TB-3, along with the Korg Volca Bass & Keys, and Novation Circuit. This was mostly a test of the distortion pedal (Boss DS-1 Clone) on the TB-3. All run through the Mackie ProFX12 mixer and recorded into Logic Pro, with some compression and limiting added. This is by no means a full demo of any of these machines, just me fooling around on some gear that I like to have fun with. If you like it too, then please follow me! Thanks for checking it out."
