One of the greatest advantages of the Roland Cloud SYSTEM-8 is its ecosystem compatibility.
Here is the elephant in the room. ACB technology is computationally expensive. The SYSTEM-8 is a heavy plugin. On a modern Windows PC (Intel i7/i9 or Ryzen 7/9), you can run a few instances comfortably. However, unlike lighter synths (like TAL-Uno or Dune 3), if you stack four or five SYSTEM-8 instances with full unison and effects, you will see your CPU meter climb. It is a trade-off: you are trading CPU cycles for that high-definition analog modeling. It is recommended to freeze/bounce tracks to audio once you have the sound design locked in.
