Critic Reviews

Roland Sound Expansion Series

soundonsound.com

Roland's M-VS1 Vintage Synth module is a standout in their Sound Expansion Series, offering a treasure trove of classic synth sounds with impressive multitimbrality and polyphony. While the module's editing capabilities are limited, the quality and variety of the vintage sounds—from Jupiter 8 to TB303 bass—are exceptional, making it a must-have for those seeking instant analogue synth gratification. The inclusion of iconic drum machine sounds further enhances its appeal. However, the lack of intuitive editing controls and uninspired design may deter users seeking customization. Overall, the M-VS1 is a compelling choice for musicians prioritizing sound quality over tweakability.
