Description

The Roland Cloud Promars is a nostalgic nod to the synth-heavy sounds of the 70s, recreated for the modern musician. This monophonic marvel is a digital resurrection of the 1979 Promars Compuphonic Synthesizer, revered for its robust and evocative voice. Emulating the powerful sound of analog hardware, Promars is crafted with Roland's renowned Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, ensuring every note carries the authentic warmth and depth that made its predecessor a legend.

Originally a companion to the Jupiter-4, the Promars set itself apart with a dual-VCO and dual-sub-oscillator design. This setup allows for a unison chorus effect, producing thick, resonant tones that are perfect for growling basses and searing leads. The Roland Cloud version enhances the original’s capabilities, with expanded VCO ranges, an advanced arpeggiator, and modern effects like reverb and bit-crushing. Whether you're crafting cinematic soundscapes or driving dance rhythms, the Promars delivers with precision and flair.

For those who crave tactile interaction, Promars fits seamlessly into Roland’s hardware ecosystem as a PLUG-OUT synthesizer. This flexibility lets you toggle between studio and stage effortlessly, maintaining the integrity of your sound across platforms.

  • Faithful software reproduction of the classic Promars analog synthesizer
