Roland System-500 530 VCA Eurorack modul

Allmänt

If you're working with a Roland System-500 modular system, you'll need an amp to amplify your sound. To that end, Roland has issued the System-500 530 VCA, a 16HP Eurorack module with two VCAs. Each amplifier has three inputs (effectively turning it into a 3-channel mixer) and a gain option that offers a choice between linear and exponential response, as well as OUT and SUM connectors. To make your loudness more dynamic, you could connect an LFO or envelope module to the MOD IN connectors, for instance. Don't be surprised that you get two VCAs for the price of one; the ENV/LFO, VCO and VCF modules from the System-500 series also have a dual setup.

Roland System-500 530 VCA: a modular system

If you're the adventurous type, modular synthesis is just the thing for you. Patch cables allow you to experiment as much as you like! Connect the left amp's output to the right amp's MOD input, for instance, while a regular signal is also transmitted to the right amplifier, and you'll end up with a brilliantly metallic sound that will be even better once you run it through a filter module. The more modules and patch cables you use, the more comprehensive your output!

Practical

What is it about modular synthesizers that makes synth fans tick? Could it be the many knobs, or the way they make you feel like you're in the cockpit of a plane? Whatever it is, in order to create a practical setup in your studio, you'll need a Eurorack case for your modules. Fortunately, Roland offers a case that's perfect for your System-500 modules, as well as your Roland Bitrazer, Torcido, Demora and Scooper units. It's easily stackable, which is great if you want to expand your setup. Combine as many Eurorack cases, modules and patch cables, and create the modular synth you've always dreamed of!
