Analogue Solutions has opened pre-orders for the Series 700, a full-scale professional recreation of the Roland System 700 modular synthesiser.
The original System 700 is “a very rare and desirable modular synthesiser” that, per Analogue Solutions, “fetches over £150,000 on the second hand market” — when a full system can be found at all. The Series 700 replicates the design as closely as possible, keeping the look, layout and physical size of the original, and can be bought as a complete system or block by block.
The system comprises six preset blocks: the Main Console, Sequencer, VCO Bank, VCF/VCA Bank, Interface/Mixer and Effects. The Main block houses three 702A/702B/702C VCOs, the 708A Ring Modulation & Noise Generator, a 703A multimode filter, a 703E low pass filter, two VCAs, two 706 LFOs, a 709A Sample & Hold and the 711A Mixer/Reverb/Phasor/Tuner/VU module. The Sequencer block carries three 12-step analogue CV sequencers with pulse shapers, the VCO bank adds six more VCOs, and the Effects block contains a stereo phaser and two-channel audio delay. Block configurations are preset and cannot be changed, due to the internal patching between modules.
Almost every circuit was reproduced from the original schematics, with custom-made knobs and slider caps and custom-ordered switches and potentiometers; the only functional modernisation is a basic single-channel MIDI-to-CV converter, primarily for syncing the sequencer to MIDI. The optional 701 keyboard is slated to be ready as an extra in early 2027.
Buyers can start with just the Main block and add the other blocks over time — or use single blocks to fill gaps in an incomplete original System 700.
