The Roland System-500 505 Dual VCF Module is a compact Eurorack module that is based on the filtering section of the Roland SH-5 synthesizer. This module combines a multi-mode filter and a band-pass filter to create a unique sound that is highly regarded in the filtering world. Unlike traditional Ladder filter designs, the filter design of the 505 Dual VCF Module ensures that it maintains its bass response with a pronounced resonance growl. With the same design as the SH-5, this module from Roland and Malekko brings two vintage filter styles to your Eurorack setup.

The Roland System-500 505 Dual VCF Module is a unique and compact Eurorack module that is based on the filtering section of the renowned Roland SH-5 monophonic synthesizer. The SH-5 was known for its trendsetting features and design aspects that made it a staple in the music world. Roland has collaborated with Malekko to incorporate this sought-after filter section into a portable Eurorack module.
The filtering section of the SH-5 is one of the most distinguished filters in monosynth history. It includes a multi-mode filter and a band-pass filter, which combine to produce truly unique tones. Unlike conventional Ladder filter designs, the SH-5 filter retains its bass response with a powerful resonance growl. The filter also features built-in VCAs with CV control of cutoff and resonance, switchable outputs, and vintage filter characteristics.
The SYSTEM-500 range from Roland features classic filters, VCOs, and more, all incorporated into Eurorack format modules. These modules can be mixed and matched to create the ultimate Roland modular synthesizer. Each module has an analog design for maximum audio fidelity and vintage-style warmth. The SYSTEM-500 modules are compact and powerful units designed for sound design possibilities and musical exploration.
Features of the Roland System-500 505 Dual VCF Module include the injection of the revered filter section from the Roland SH-5 into a modular rig, a dual architecture filter design, a combination of multi-mode and band-pass filters, a unique filtering sound, maintenance of bass response with a resonance growl, switchable outputs, built-in VCAs, CV control of cutoff and resonance, dual vintage-style filters, and a flexible and compact 16HP module.
