A groundbreaking new synthesizer, the Roland AIRA SYSTEM-1 gives
remarkable, flexible access to a vast palette of synthesised sounds
with the bold, unmistakable character associated with Roland synths
for nearly four decades.
New Roland Analog Circuit Behaviour technology has been
used to carefully analyse every detail of the analog circuits in
the SYSTEM synths and fully recreates them down to the finest
details. This technology fills the SYSTEM 1 with a fusion of
cherished classic and utterly modern synthesizer tones.
Plug In, Plug Out
It doesn't stop at the ACB technology. The Roland SYSTEM-1 can
even host software recreations of classic Roland synths, on the
system itself, with no computer required! Switch between the
SYSTEM-1 internal sounds and the hosted plug-in. This technology is
called 'Plug Out'.
Nobody could make a better plug-in version of a Roland synth
than Roland. The AIRA SYSTEM-1 will allow you to experience the
superior authenticity of legendary synths, such as the SH-101,
through software. SYSTEM-1 provides an intuitive and fully
automatic one-to-one control interface that really works.
The SYSTEM-1 integrates seamlessly with the other products in
the Roland AIRA Series, can receive MIDI clock information to sync
with external devices and can be connected to your computer via
USB.
The totally innovative design of SYSTEM-1 features
performance-ready controls, quality construction and an array of
lights, knobs and sliders.
