inspired by vintage roland modular synths of the 1970s, these new additions to the system-500 family not only expand on the system-100m-based modules, but also explore fresh territory. designed in eurorack
format, the system-500 delivers the classic character and functionality of vintage roland modular synths, with all the advantages of a modern instrument. the system-500 is made to exacting standards in
a collaborative design and production process between malekko in portland, usa and roland in hamamatsu, japan.
classic system. new format.
the system-500 consists of eurorack format modules that you can mix and match in any combination to create the ultimate roland modular synthesizer. each module is completely analog and has been designed for
maximum compatibility with the world of contemporary synthesizer and effects modules. the system-500 is a compact, powerful system that opens up vast possibilities for sound design and musical
exploration.
system 500-510 synth
with the sys-510, designing your first modular setup or integrating classic roland sound into your existing modular rig has never been easier. based on the vintage system-100m's 110 vco, vcf, and vca module,
the sys-510 brings together the best aspects of the system-500 into a single voice module. it contains three pristine oscillator waveforms, classic roland low pass filter with hi-pass switches, and a vca with
multiple outputs. it has inputs for external signals and modulation, and output jacks for both eurorack and line-level audio. at 20hp and internally normalled for cableless operation, the sys-510 is an
essential building block, whether you're an experienced user or just diving into modular synthesis.
