Roland System 8 Preview Online Now

Oh to have the power of the major US retailer..

Sweetwater once again get the scoop on some of the new Roland gear. We've been excited to hear about the new AIRA System 8, the new ACB 8 voice virtual analog, with a whopping 3 Osc (3rd is geared to be more of a multi wave sub).

Daniel Fisher takes us through the synth - (good effort as theres no manual available yet) - which features 3 Plug-out slots, one Jupiter 8 and Juno 106 included, 3rd slot is free for presumably more plug-outs to come.

We can hear in this fullsome overview that there is cross mod and audio rate modulation available which is always good to see in a virtual. Also the FX section has been expanded to three for plenty of on board magnling - its one of the things we liked about the System - 1but more of it.

More details to come. The link to the product on Sweetwater is not yet live so we can't give you a price - whats your guess?
