    Very nice instrument, very nice sounds, with a very moderate budget. The instrument has many presets for “dance” and “club” music that I won’t use, but there is so much that it’s impossible to listen to everything.

    A big plus for dimensions and weight (very “portable”), but a minus for the keyboard. No miracles are to be expected at this weight and price, but Yamaha should still hold a higher level. The synthesizer itself is very decent and Cubase is free of charge.

    Hey kiddo! Do you know what’s really cool and can make your music sound super amazing? It’s called Roland SySTEM-1m. It’s like a magic box that makes sounds and it’s so much fun to play with!
    Now, listen up. This isn’t your ordinary toy keyboard. No sirree! The Roland SySTEM-1m is actually a Synth, which means it can create all sorts of different sounds just by pressing those colorful keys. And you know what else? It has this nifty feature called ‘Analog Circuit Behavior’. It’s like a time machine that takes us back to the 70s and 80s when synths were first invented!
    But wait, there’s more! The Roland SySTEM-1m is also really smart. It can save you lots of money because it doesn’t need lots of separate boxes to make cool sounds. Just imagine having a whole orchestra in one small box! And guess what? You don’t even need batteries! All you need is a power outlet and voila, your very own personal synth!
    I remember when my dad used to play with his old Roland Synths from the 80s. The sound was so unique and magical that it would take us on adventures through outer space or underwater worlds. Those were the days… But now, with the Roland SySTEM-1m, you can experience that same magic without needing a big budget or a huge room filled with instruments.
    So if you’re ready to join me on a musical journey back in time, grab your own Roland SySTEM-1m and let’s make some music together!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How can I configure the Roland System-1m's advanced sequencing features to create intricate and complex compositions?

To take advantage of the advanced sequencing features on the Roland System-1m, follow these steps:

1. Connect a MIDI keyboard or pad controller to your System-1m using a standard MIDI cable or USB MIDI interface. Power on your System-1m and select the "Sequencer" mode by pressing [SEQ] button on the control panel. Select the "Pattern" mode from the menu, which allows you to create individual patterns of notes and rhythms for each track (or part) in your composition. Use your MIDI keyboard or pad controller to play in some notes and chords into the first pattern. You can also record automation parameters like filter cutoff, delay time, and pan position using the "Record Automation" button. To create variations in your sequence, duplicate the pattern by pressing the [DUP] button or use the [RND] button to randomize selected notes or rhythms within the pattern. Add some fills or breaks in your sequence by using the "Fill" and "Break" functions. You can also create custom fill patterns by selecting the "User Fill" option. To make your composition more dynamic, use the "Pattern Chain" feature to link multiple patterns together into a larger arrangement. You can add transitions between each pattern to create smooth and seamless shifts in tone and rhythm. Use the "Track Copy" function to duplicate tracks and create new parts with variations of the original melody or harmony. Add some swing feel or shuffle groove using the "Swing" button and adjust the value to your preference. Utilize the built-in arpeggiator feature by selecting a preset mode like "Arp Mode 1" or create your own custom patterns using the "Edit Arp" function. This will generate complex melodic sequences that can be used as leads, basslines, and more. Add some effects and processing to each track using the built-in DSP modules such as EQ, compression, delay, and reverb. You can also use external MIDI effect devices via USB or MIDI I/O ports for even more options. Save your composition by pressing the [WR] button and choose a file name and location using the "Save" function. You can also export your sequence as an audio file using the "Export" function. By following these steps, you can create intricate and complex compositions using the advanced sequencing features of the Roland System-1m synthesizer.
