Roland System 8 AIRA Plug Out Synthesizer - Secondhand
The Roland System 8 AIRA Plug Out Synthesizer is in full working order and in excellent condition. It is a secondhand product that has been inspected by our team of experts to ensure its high quality standards.

One of the standout features of the Roland System 8 AIRA is its ‘PLUG-OUT’ technology. This allows you to access plug-in versions of famous Roland synths directly from the System-8, eliminating the need for a computer. You can now play and control classic Roland synthesizers that have been emulated in plug-in form for use with the System-8. Additionally, the System-8 can host and control up to three Roland Plug-Out software synthesizers.

The System-8 utilizes the Analog Circuit Behaviour (ACB) technology, which enables the authentic recreation of the sound and behavior of classic analog synthesizers. The ACB engine in the System-8 offers eight voices of polyphony, three oscillators, hi-resolution filters, and versatile LFOs. This allows for the creation of expressive and diverse sounds, ranging from classic analog-style pads and basses to dynamic lead synths and unique textures.

The System-8 is designed for optimal controllability and sound design, featuring a wide range of versatile controls. It includes a polyphonic 64-step sequencer with a TR-REC style interface for playing, recording, and manipulating loop sequences. An arpeggio function and Chord Memory functionality are also included, along with a built-in advanced vocoder for using the voice to control the sound. The System-8 also has three expansion slots for hosting and controlling Roland’s PLUG-OUT software synths.

The intuitive and ergonomic layout of the System-8 presents all the prominent controls in an optimal position, providing a hands-on experience for sound creation and performance expression. The synth offers a wide range of filter types, as well as top-quality effects such as overdrive, distortion, chorus, reverb, and more. Creating new sounds is made easy with the extensive range of synth parameters and hands-on controls.

While the System-8 excels as a stand-alone performance instrument, it can also integrate seamlessly within a music production environment. It features a built-in USB audio/MIDI interface for connecting to a digital audio workstation, and the 49 full-size velocity-sensitive keys offer a dynamic response for recording complex MIDI tracks. The System-8 can also be used as a control surface for virtual instrument plug-ins. Additionally, the inclusion of CV/Gate outputs allows for the sending of note/pitch data to external gear, such as modular synths and vintage analog gear.

Overall, the Roland System 8 AIRA Plug Out Synthesizer offers a versatile performance instrument with advanced ACB technology and a user-friendly design. It provides a wide range of sound possibilities, easy integration with music production setups, and the ability to access classic Roland synths in plug-in form.
