The Roland System-500 510 Modular Synthesizer is a compact Eurorack module that is based on the System-100ms 110 VCO VCF and VCA module. This module captures the vintage synth sound while incorporating the advantages of a modern instrument. It features three oscillator waveforms and the classic Roland low pass filter with hi-pass switches. The module also includes a VCA section with multiple outputs for added flexibility. It provides inputs for both external signals and modulation, making it ideal for sound design applications.
Based On The System-100m 110 Module
The System-500 510 Modular Synthesizer faithfully recreates the VCO VCF and VCA section from the renowned System-100m Synthesizer. It combines the best aspects of the SYSTEM-500 into a versatile single-voice module. The original module, which the 510 is based on, allowed users to create unique and ground-breaking sound/tones. Roland has collaborated with Malekko to incorporate the highly sought-after output section from the original synth into a compact and portable Eurorack-format module.
Versatile Synthesizer Module
Building on the design of the original 110 module, the 510 features all the best aspects of the original with the advantages of being a modern instrument. It boasts three pristine oscillator waveforms, the classic Roland low-pass filter with hi-pass switches, and a VCA with multiple outputs. It also provides inputs for external signals and modulation, as well as output jacks for Eurorack and line-level audio signals. The faceplate features retro-design aspects, including vintage rotary controls and fades. The module is internally normalled for cable-less operation and is compact with a 20hp size.
Classic System New Format
The SYSTEM-500 range from Roland features classic filters, VCOs, and more incorporated into Eurorack format modules. These modules can be mixed and matched to create the ultimate Roland modular synthesizer. Each module features a completely analog design for maximum audio fidelity and vintage-style warmth and grit. The SYSTEM-500 modules are compact and powerful Eurorack units designed for vast sound design possibilities and musical exploration.
