Roland Cloud v4.0

-

With more legendary synths and beatboxes to their name than practicall­y any other company, it’s great to see Roland finally getting serious about stuffing those classics into our plugin folders. v4.0 of the Roland Cloud software subscripti­on service introduces the Legendary Series – and they don’t get much more legendary than the Juno-106 and Jupiter-8 analogue polysynths of the 1980s. The Juno-106 is known for its simple yet great-sounding 6-voice architectu­re, with main, sub and noise oscillator­s; high-pass and 24dB low-pass filters; and a famously rich chorus. The plugin adds an 8-voice mode; additions to the LFO, VCF, VCA, and Effects sections; and Roland “may have included an Arpeggiato­r, too!” The Jupiter-8 is more complex, with two oscillator­s, 12dB/24dB low-pass, cross- modulation, oscillator sync and more. Finally, Roland’s modern-day System-8 hardware VA synth now has a plugin equivalent, too. Roland Cloud is $20/month.
