PROMARS Key

TRVALÁ LICENCE

Supersonic Compuphonic?

Cross-platform?PLUG-OUT?instrument for?computer DAWs and select Roland hardware synths.?

A sibling of the legendary JUPITER-4,?this rare and wonderful synthesizer from 1979 features an evocative voice with a thick, rich sound, and is increasingly sought after on the used market. Sonically accurate down to the circuit level, the versatile?PROMARS?plug-in cranks out big bass and lead tones with the unmistakable character of Roland synths from the era.?



Big Little Brother??

Initially designed as a kid brother to the JUPITER-4, the deceptively small PROMARS?married the stability and flexibility of microprocessor control with the rich sound of analog,?and was?one of the first?synths?with?onboard?memory. This powerful monophonic?instrument?boasted?fat buzzy leads and a powerful low end, proving big things often come in little packages.?

?

Otherworldly Tones??

While the JUPITER-4 featured one VCO and one sub-oscillator per voice, PROMARS?had?two of each. Users could detune them to produce a distinctive unison chorus effect, producing sounds?like a four-VCO synthesizer. It sounded positively huge, making it a go-to synth for fat,?growling?basses and searing lead tones.?

?

Hardware?Integration?

PROMARS?is?also?a PLUG-OUT synthesizer?that?can be?hosted in?Roland’s?SYSTEM-8, SYSTEM-1,?and SYSTEM-1m hardware synthesizers. This means you can work in your?computer-based?DAW?or perform live without a computer using the exact same sounds. You can even send sounds back and forth between the hardware and software,?and?use the hardware as a hands-on controller.?
