The SYSTEM-100 Software Synthesizer faithfully recreates Roland's iconic semi-modular monosynth from 1975, merging the qualities of the original Model 101 Synthesizer and Model 102 Expander modules. This two-oscillator monosynth delivers a rich, powerful sound with extensive modular routing options, enabling intricate sound design and authentic analog character. The software captures the essence of the classic hardware, offering a broad sonic palette suitable for creating deep basses, sharp leads, and complex textures.

Originally celebrated for its modular patching capabilities and dynamic oscillators during the golden era of analog synthesis, the SYSTEM-100 provided users with unprecedented flexibility. Combining two VCOs, two LFOs, sample and hold, ring modulation, and a noise generator, it empowered musicians to explore a wide range of sounds and effects. The software version enhances this legacy by integrating these elements into a single interface, featuring a 14x15 routing matrix that visually represents patch connections for intuitive and fast programming.

Designed for seamless integration with modern music production setups, the SYSTEM-100 Software Synthesizer functions as a plugin within popular digital audio workstations and supports Roland’s PLUG-OUT system on compatible hardware. This allows hands-on control through devices like the SYSTEM-8 and SYSTEM-1m, combining virtual flexibility with tactile operation. Additional modern enhancements include tempo-synced arpeggiators and effects such as reverb, delay, and phaser, expanding creative possibilities while preserving the authentic sound and feel of the original instrument.
