valskater « A good old synth! »
Published on 07/23/11 at 05:52- Keyboard 32 keys from an FA to an OD (about two and a half octaves)
- Monophonic
- The sounds are typical of a synthesizer, ie, unpredictable. The sounds that can modulate the Roland SH-101 are rather serious, and even then there is the possibility of transposing to higher octaves.
- There's a Pitch Bend (X, Y) adjustable pormento an adjustable one sequence and a ARPEGIO adjustable speed and "meaning" melody (ex: you can sequence DO-MI-SOL, and after play in the sense SOL-MI-DO)
- Works with a 9V or 12V adapter or with batteries (I do not know how, I just know they are very large and Cylinders)
- Possibility of adding a "grip modulation" to control pitch bend with an external control
- 1 Output, 1 Phones
- Outputs / inputs I do not know the value: "EXT CLK IN", "Hold", "CV / Gate = IN", "CV / Gate = OUT."
UTILIZATION
No need for a manual, this synth is very easy to use.
Of course, you have a multitude of potential given the number of adjustment possible!
SOUNDS
Analog sound.
To try to be clear, the sound of this synth can be used in progressive rock, it can be used as "Piano Bass" (that's what I did in fact, with electronic organ, and Hop, we go for the complete Doors!), one could even reproduce sounds at Daft Punk.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year now.
This is the first synth I have, and the only negative I have to proclaim is the mono ... I know, it's also a Minimoog monophonic and yet it is a great instrument, but the mono really limits us as to the total explotation of these little toys.
If I remake my choice, I rushed to a polyphonic synth.
Anyway, I will not complain, the Roland SH-101, I found it in the basement of a bar! :-P
