Roland S-1 Tweak Synth

I don’t know how to ask this correctly…is it possible for fx-block to always be off when switching presets etc…something like lock param. on vst
This really pissed me off on software roland emulations, and it stops me from buying S1…I hate effects in Roland synth’s but I like their raw sound

Yes, GL,dr setting in the main menu (page 68 in the manual)

That’s a good one to know!

Recently discovered the manual mode which I really like. Would’ve been awesome to have global mode for that as well, or if a pattern could be recalled in manual so that you could improvise the sound while switching patterns

Can anyone confirm that these knobs will work on S-1?

Getting pretty tired of the stock ones, but i gotta be sure they will work before I ship em out overseas, thanks!

Thinking of upgrading as well, and was looking at Thonks tall trimmer toppers, but these do look classy. Did you see this post upthread?

For transparency: these are Moogs own knob kit for the Werkstatt :slight_smile:

These fit great, haven’t taken them off since. The Werkstatt’s a little annoyed they got reassigned :joy:

Here is a colored version


I mainly put them to see where the line is, color was just a bonus, and these ones kinda fit the style

Damn, this could make this little device much more approachable.

Now I just need to mark down the midi cc numbers to it (from digitakt) to have it be fast and easy to access specific parameters directly from the digitakt.

Thx!

I went extra colourful, I love the vibrant look of it now

Here is my setup of wee lads, there is also a J-6 that lives in its box because it’s far less fun.

what case is this?

It’s just a £20 small peli knockoff from eBay. It’s not a perfect size really, was hoping to be able to slot them in vertically but it’s too short and then it’s slightly too narrow to have them flat (it does mean I can fill the voids under them with USB and 3.5mm cables though)

It came with some pretend ‘pick and pluck’ foam that was only serrated on one side so it ended up a bit brutal. Works well for what I want though.

Nice, thanks for the peak inside!

beautiful!

where did you get those knobs?

Mine also has thonk knob caps! They definitely help out a little.

Does anyone know is there a seller in the EU for these? I don’t really order anything from the UK since Brexit when I can help it, but none of the usuals seem to have them e.g. Music Store, Thomann, Schneidersladen, Exploding Shed.

They seem to be available on music store after choosing a specific country

Thanks! Tried logging in but I’m still only seeing the Doeper ones which I think are too big for stuff like the Airas and some of my modules.

Oops, didn’t realize you meant caps not S1s
