Superbooth 2018: Roland announce four new System-500 modules
We saw them at the Puma TR-808 trainers launch party, but now Roland has officially announced four new System-500 modules.
System-500
Roland brought System-500 to Eurorack with Malekko Heavy Industry back in 2015. Designed as an evolution of their System 100m modular system. Now we have four new modules to add to the collection. Let’s check them out.
510
All-in-one synthesizer voice based on the 110 from the System 100m. Three waveform oscillator with a two input filter and VCA. It’s all normalled behind the scenes so it can work without any patching. It’s a whole little Roland synth ready to go in 20hp.

This is a filter that takes its inspiration from the Roland SH-5 synthesizer. On one side there’s a multi-mode filter and on the other is a fixed bandpass filter. 2 inputs for each filter and CV control over cutoff, resonance and VCA.
