The only thing synth fans really need to know about the Roland System-500 505 Eurorack module is that it puts the revered sound of the classic SH-5 filter section into your modular synth rig. It features a multimode filter plus a bandpass filter section, and using both simultaneously can generate some amazingly creative textures. Unlike the also-popular ladder filter design, the SH-5’s lowpass filter is known for growling resonance that doesn’t hurt your low end at higher values — that means your bass line stays rock solid while you modulate resonance. Whether you’re a fan of classic Roland synths or simply want a great-sounding filter module with flexibility, you’ll be impressed with the Roland System-500 505 Eurorack filter module.
