Scott's Synth Stuff Episode 5: Roland System-8 Review

In this new series, I am talking about each of my synthesizers, starting with the simplest one, and moving upwards to the most complex. In episode 5, we feature the Roland System-8, a Virtual Analog synthesizer that can perfectly emulate the Jupiter 8, Juno-106, JX-3P, but it's also so much more! A short demo track made entirely with the System-8 can be heard at 53:41.
