Roland-ish sound

Hi,

If you would nominate some modules whit a 'Roland' sound, which ones you would go for?
I really like the Roland sound and in the past i've been owning many of their synths, sh*, jupiter 4/6/8, system 100, few junos and jx's.

I now own only a few modules of the system 500 series, which i like.

I was wondering, any other modules which could have the characteristic Roland sound? If so, which ones?

Thanks,
Regards

Hi ,
I would suggest following Modules:

System 80 - Jove (Jupiter 6)

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/system80-jove
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/system80-860-mk2 (newer version)
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/plum-audio-ujove DIY-version

AMSynths - AM8109 JP8 LPF (Jupiter 8) pops up not very often

Soundforce - Juno 106 inspired VCF

Soundforce - Juno inspired VCO

For sure there are many others but i think this is a good start ;)

Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions

Check out the G-Storm Electro filters. I have several of them on my radar for an authentic Roland sound. Mutable Instruments Ripples also has a Roland-ish feel.

Hi Farkas,

Thanks. They looks interesting.

Do you know if they are available somewhere online? Thanks

Hi Matteo,

Don't forget to have a look at some of the modules from Frequency Central, quite a few are based on Roland as well.

Additionally to Frequency Central modules, Happy Nerding Super Sawtor seems to sound like Roland's Supersaw from JP-8000.

Intellijel's Dual ADSR has been based on SH-101 and System 100m.
Similar related seems to be Bubblesound Instruments dlADSR module.

Intellijel's Metropolis or nowadays Metropolix is perhaps not from a sound point of view related to Roland however it is related to Roland's sequencer approach. Similar for Scales from Intellijel.

The Behringer 1xx, 297 and 305 modules seem to be based on Roland System 100m.

EMW's VCF S100 is based on Roland's System 100m filter.

I didn't mentioned the modules related to Roland's TR-808 and/or TR-909 then that would have been a huge list ;-)

Good luck for the search of some more nice Roland related modules and kind regards, Garfield.

I think Castor and Pollux also fit very well in that realm, with the goal to "Create a spiritual successor to the Roland Juno's voice for Eurorack".
