Purely synth keyboard at the time (plastic feel), with the typical wheel Roland: Pitch X and Supplements Y. .. I always preferred the double wheels from Yamaha ...
The machine has an output line (normal) and a couple of I / O CV / Gate (in Volt / Octave, like all the Roland analos).
No effect, no editor PC / Mac, no polyphony is a monophonic analog sythétiseur the early 80's. At that time polyphony cost you an eye and the integrated effects were only fantasies for dreamers ...
UTILIZATION
I never had the manual ... But I do not really see its usefulness ...
Editing is always easy: a button / fader = function. The childhood of art ...
on the other hand, question structure, it is still a relatively basic: an LFO, a noise generator (white), a single VCO, a VCF (low pass ... but only capable of swinging) and an ADSR envelope generator.
The modulations are quite simple: no way (from memory) to the ADSR on the frequency of the VCO, for example ....
But hey: this is a good little monophonic. But not enough to cut off an arm! O)
SOUNDS
For not too strong leads (no sync or detune yeah ..: .. a single VCO), low BBW and electro blips, there's way.
But it will not come out the big sound that kills.
However, even then, it was not designed for that. It was a little synth solo for the stage (with the "fretboard"!). So we can say that has aged well: it is quite usable for what it was conceived over 20 years ... You can not really say that of all the synths! O)
OVERALL OPINION
It's a good little bike pretty nice: I discovered the subtractive analog synth "real time" (while I was typing on a migraine Yamaha V50 passing sleepless nights out sounds awful). For that, it's cool ... But this is not a feature of the SH101: analos all of the time worked like that.
However, when I see the bargain price, I thought I was dreaming. For just € 100 more, there are other vintage CS15 far more interesting .... So mef ': € 500 for SH101, I think it's a small price to pay ... That's why I put 5: the power / price.
But I repeat myself: this is a nice little analog mono.
