Learning the Roland System-100

A few weeks ago I showed you a system to "learn any synth" (https://youtu.be/JfJ9Dbjz6cs), and this week I want to put that into practice learning a synth I never touched before, the Roland System 100. In this video we follow simple synth logic to find out the basics of the synth, and then explore the weird unique aspects of it. We do some jamming on it, make some Euclidian Rhythms, recreate Ben Klock's Subzero bassline technique, do an avant garde noise jam, and create a polymetric minimal house track. A lot of adventures for such a humble synth!
