Explore the power and beauty of triple-oscillator sound synthesis with this Roland Aira System-8 Plug-Out synthesizer. The eight-voice design provides virtually limitless combinations, and the broad range of effects lets you recreate both classic synthesizer sounds and explore new realms. The main keyboard offers four octaves of range, letting you play range-sweeping melodies and octave-spanning chords, and support for eight voices of polyphony creates rich and detailed sounds.
Although it's designed primarily as a performance instrument, the System-8 is also great for in-studio use. The USB output makes it easy to connect to digital mixing tools, and it also doubles as a MIDI interface for DAWs and other software. Of course, the System-8 also supports the Roland-invented CV/gate output, letting you connect a range of new and legacy devices. The System-8 is designed with precision in mind, and the knobs and sliders offer high resolutions to let you tune in the exact settings for your needs.
