Roland SH-01A

CurrentReleased 2018

A Boutique recreation of the SH-101 monosynth using Roland's ACB modelling, with the original's single oscillator, sub-oscillator, noise and resonant filter. Unlike the original it can play four voices in poly, unison and chord modes and has a 100-step sequencer. It suits bass and lead players who want SH-101 sounds with CV/gate out to talk to modular gear.
