Features & Specification
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.
