The Roland System-1 is a really good synth, with lots of control, much better than I had expected; the keyboard is perfectly fine for synth use, but is a shame no velocity sensitivity. Didn't expect to like the Scatter function, but again really good, and can be set to Hold. The latest software versions are a must as this expands the preset memory to 8x8, plus the 56 v1.20 sound presets downloadable from Roland are terrific, mostly. Of course another plus is ability to load a second plug-out synth, with another 64 presets. I got the Promars plug-out and its good. Only gripe is that Windows 10 does not auto download the required driver. This prevents linking to DAWs , Plug-out download, etc.., but does not prevent save, backups, downloads, as W10 does see the device, just cannot use it fully. Fortunately Roland Support supplied a driver setup.exe which didn't work by itself, but W10 Device Manager was able to extract the driver from files sent by Roland Read full review

Fantastic synth, in fact the second System 1 I've owned. Although I've purchased Plugouts of the SH101 and Promars, I find the System 1's own architecture is great as is.
