Running on the Edge of a Blade
Synthwave conjures images of digital landscapes and retrofuturism. The aesthetics of the genre are drawn from both electro and the ineffable energy of the ‘80s. At the same time, the heart of the sound remains steeped in house and EDM styles.
Roland Cloud proudly presents our Synthwave collection! These 256 patches for the JUNO-106, SYSTEM-8, JX-3P, and JUPITER-8 are the tools you need to create immaculate synthwave architecture. These dramatic saw waves, pulsing basses, and twinkling arps will help your compositions bloom into dreamscapes of paradise and illusion.
Roland hardware synths were critical to establishing the sonic reverie of the 1980s. Use our ACB recreations of these revolutionary instruments to saturate your tracks with bold and beautiful temperatures and create a reality all your own.
SYSTEM-8 Synthwave Patches
With its distinctive green lights and futuristic look, the SYSTEM-8 is a perfect visual counterpoint for the synthwave genre. Under the hood, the SYSTEM-8's robust synth architecture draws on Roland's rich history of innovation, Synthwave patches like "Magic Dust" and "Power 5th" highlight the textural possibilities of this modern classic.
Has Synthwave’s extensive assortment of SYSTEM-8 patches whet your appetite for more retro madness? Fire up the JX-3P, JUPITER-8, or JUNO-106 to explore the collection's additional banks of '80s-drenched synths...and stranger things.
