System-1 Patches
A bank of patches for the System-1 and System-1 VST.
Some of these are shown below in the plug-in screenshots, as is the patch list from the VST. A zip file is linked below, which contains a bin file for the plug-in and a set of patch files for the System-1. The patches are the same for both formats.
Patch List
Digi Bass
Cor Bells
Requiem
Slow String
The Patches
Both variations of the patches are contained in this System-1 zip file, along with instructions on how to install them. Enjoy:-)
NOTE: Installing these patches on the System-1 will overwrite any existing patches, so backup any patches that you wish to save before copying these to the synth. The VST patches will be loaded as a new bank, so should not overwrite any existing patches.

Thank you very much

You’re welcome. Hope you find them useful.

Excellent… thank you, some great patches 🙂
Can you confirm if the file names for the patches on the System 1 hardware have to conform to the factory pattern, or can you give them meaningful names as long as they have the PRM extension ? I’ve tried it with custom filenames and it doesn’t load them.
Daniel.

No problem, glad you like them. I think the files names have to match as I’ve tried renaming them like you and they haven’t loaded either.

Hey thx for your work would love to download the patches but it doesnt work…. a fix would be nice 🙂
Nig on 09 Dec 2018 at 11:00 am #
They should work, what problem are you having?
Actually, I’ve just noticed that if the page is https, then the images don’t show up tho’ the download link still works. Could you try using http whilst I fix it pls and see if that helps?

Hey I’m having trouble understanding how to make certain types of pads. I just got my System-1 yesterday and I’ve made a few suitable ones, but I was wondering if there’s any sort of tutorial on how to make more. I see YouTube videos from people who have made pads that sound terrific, but I’m left wondering how they did that. Does anyone have like knob positions and such to share on how to create pads? Please email me if necessary.

It’s been a while since I’ve done any patches on the System-1 as I tend to use the System-8 more these days so I don’t have any patch details to hand. However, what the System-1 does have that the System-8 does not, is a text file that contains the knob and slider settings for a patch. If you open a *.PRM file in a txt program, such as notepad, you will see a load of text like this:
OSC1_WAVE(0);
OSC1_COLOR(11);
OSC1_MOD(2);
OSC1_RANGE(2);
OSC1_CRS_MOD(0);
Where the number in brackets is the knob setting. So if you find a System-1 patch you like you can look at this and see how its parameters are set.
I know you said you’ve looked at some Youtube Vids, but I suggest you look at some of Geosynths’ tutorials for the System-8. You won’t be able to replicate the sounds completely, but the basics will work.

Will these also work with the 1m ?
Will the Promars pack work with the 1m?
Thanks

Yes, they should. If you try them and have any probs let me know.

Hello everyone. if anyone can help me please. due to an error of mine when updating the system all the presets of the factory roland system have been deleted. eh reset the unit and do not load do not exist. on the roland page there is the bank of the original presets and they don’t answer me. Someone would be kind enough to pass me a copy of the original presets please. I hope your answers or help thanks to all. regards

A factory reset of the System-1 will reload the factory patches.
Whilst pressing the MANUAL button, power on the System-1 and then press the ARPEGGIO button (it will be flashing). When all the LEDs light up power the synth ff and then on again.
ETA: If you do a factory reset whatever plug-in you have installed will also have its patches set back to default as well. If the plug-in is unregistered, it will be deleted.

How do I go from .bins to .PRMs? I have access to plenty, but don’t know how to convert / separate them.
Nig on 13 Feb 2020 at 6:24 pm #
Not aware of any way to convert them directly unfortunately. You would need to load the bin files in the System-1 VST, send them to the System-1 and then backup the patches to the PC. Copying from the VST will overwrite any patches currently on the Syetem-1, so remeber to back these up if you want to keep them.

I don’t think I’ve had luck backing up the patches to PC in .PRM and that’s the issue. I’ll try again. Thanks!

Does the System-1 contain a patch called “pluck key lead” or something similar?
Would love to see the screenshot of the settings. And see if I can match the sound with other keyboards.
In the Alan Walker Rig rundown at YouTube you’ll hear Jonas playing the patch:

Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards Mark.

There doesn’t apppear to be one for the native system-1 engine, but there is this one on the SH-101 plug-in, which will hopefully help
