Roland System-500 Analog Modular Synthesizer, Complete Eurorack Set

Roland System-500 Analog Modular Synthesizer, Complete Eurorack Set Overview

Based on the classic SYSTEM-100M modular synthesizer - one of the most sought-after instruments out there - the SYSTEM-Roland’s System-500 combines the iconic analogue sound of the System-100M with sleek aesthetic of the System-700, then condenses it into a compact & portable Eurorack format. Not only is the System-500 more reliable and transportable than the System-100M, it’s significantly more affordable!

Vintage System, Modern Format

The System-500 is a stunning collaboration between Roland and Malekko Heavy Industries, an innovative synth & effect pedal manufacturer based in Portland, OR. This version is the “Complete Set” of Roland’s System-500 and is comprised of five 100% analogue modules that combine the rich System-100M sound with the elegant stylings of the rare System-700. With a compact size that’s far more portable than the bulky modular synths of yore and vast timbral flexibility that can provide endless hours of inspiring sonic exploration, the System-500 is easily one of Roland’s most exciting synths to date.

An advantage of these modules is that they have been engineered to communicate and integrate with modern Eurorack synths and effects, allowing you to inject the vintage Roland sound into your contemporary rig. Not only can the System-500 be a fantastic asset to an existing setup, but it’s also a complete monophonic analogue synth that can be used standalone - perfect for those that are making their first forays into the exciting sonic territory of Eurorack.

Housed within the SYR-E84 Eurorack Case, the Roland System-500 is made up of 5 modules. You have the 512, 521, 530, 540 & 572 modules, essentially Eurorack-sized renditions of those found in the original 100M. In addition to nailing the sound of the 100M’s modules, Roland has enhanced the System-500’s modules with new capabilities.

• SYR-E84 Eurorack Case
• 512 - Dual Oscillator
