Working perfectly, version 5.0


The Roland MKS-80 is a classic analog synthesizer module with MIDI. It's considered by some to be Roland's best analog synthesizer, combining features of their classic Jupiter-8 and Jupiter-6 synthesizers. The good news is that this synth fits in a 2 space rack - no worrying about where to put two huge keyboards! This MKS80 is bi-timbral and can play two different sounds at once, each on different MIDI channels. This is one of the coolest synths from the 80s and is great for fat basses, warm strings and pads and all kinds of analog blips, leads and noises. Its unison mode allows you to stack all 8 voices on top of one another for up to 16 oscillators of fatness - few synths can sound this huge! It has a great solo mode with portamento but is also 8 note polyphonic so you can play chords (unlike many older analog synths). All parameters are fully controllable by MIDI, so if you have editing software, you can use virtual knobs to tweak all the parameters in realtime and record them into your sequencer
