Great Analog-Style Sound
Even though it’s super fun and
easy to use, the SH-201 is no toy when it comes to sound. With two
beefy analog-modeling oscillators onboard, complete with Roland’s
famous Supersaw waveform and resonant filter, this little synth can
blow down doors. It also comes with high-quality delay and reverb
effects for adding depth and dimension to the sound, an overdrive
control for adding a ripsaw edge, and an arpeggiator for instant
rhythmic motion.
Ultra-Easy Operation
This is synthesis
at its friendliest. The SH-201’s front panel puts every control
directly under the player’s fingertips in a logically positioned signal
path from left to right. No hidden menus, no nonsense. Just play and
move the knobs and sliders. It’s as simple as that. Students of
synthesis will love the ease and immediate gratification of the SH-201.
No other modern synth on the market is as fun, friendly, and inviting.
External Audio Input
Playing
the SH-201 from its keyboard is only half the fun. External audio
sources can be plugged into the SH-201’s external input (CD/MP3-player,
sampler,, etc.) and the sound can be twisted with the front-panel knobs
and sliders. Wave your hands over the SH-201’s invisible D Beam for
dramatic modulation.
USB Connectivity
The SH-201 can be
connected to a computer (Mac or PC) with one simple USB cable. Both
MIDI and audio can be routed through the USB port. A VSTi software
editor is included, which allows SH-201 sounds to be manipulated from
within a VSTi-compatible host software sequencer.
