Demystify The Roland System-8 Synth In This Video Overview

Roland's System-8 hardware is a powerful and unique instrument but with this quick overview video from synth expert Rishabh Rajan you'll learn to find your way around the key areas with a minimum of fuss. Taken from the full course Roland SYSTEM-8 101: SYSTEM-8 Explained and Explored, Rishabh starts by demonstrating the bank and patch selection areas before showing you the arpeggiator section. 

As well as the System-8 engine you also get the Jupiter-8 engine and you'll see how to quickly switch to that to make entirely different kinds of sounds. This synth is particularly good at making pad sounds, and of course there's the classic Super Saw as well.
