This only works for multitimbral instruments that allow you to pan the output. I only have one synth that allows me to do that and there's no need to since it has more than just a stereo out anyway.

I think Espen is right about the fact that a lot of modern synths are VST´s in a box. That being said. If you give that box a lot of knobs and faders, then your potential for a fruitful hands-on experience will be stimulated in a way that a computer with software cannot. I think it is nice when synths can do something that a software VST cannot. That is where the knobs and faders come in but above all the truly analog synths.

Thank you for your great DEMO!!I played the JT-4000 on the SH-4D. The SH-4D is excellent!!

I 100% agree. It's all about establishing a connection with the instrument. I recently got a D-50 too, and felt like a kid again on Christmas . This might be cheesy but I had a discussion with my piano teacher that our instruments are our pets. We establish that connection like a pet and take the time to maintain and service our instruments. I love coming home from a horrible day with customers yelling at me just being able to play and program my synths and escape to another world. I would never be able to compare that with a computer. I'm also a digital artist and am in school for a degree for Graphic Design. Artist mainly use digital art in photoshop on a Cintiq these days, but that will never ever replace a paper and pencil or a canvas and a brush. Feeling that connection with the line strokes on the paper. I feel there are a place for VST's and a place for hardware. I feel it's all about preference just like music. Some people prefer country and rap, some enjoy New age and pop. I feel like samplers like the Ensoniq Mirage, Roland S50, e-mu emax, Akai S1000 are relatively inexpensive ways to get samples from super high end synths but with a vintage flair and with having to stare at a computer screen. : )

Thanks for the review ! I'm not sure I understood the saving system: you can save the tones, the patterns, but is it possible to save the entire project with all the Tracks? It seems essential to me to be able to recall everything on stage

That is a great tip! You could also just use the SH-4d as your USB audio interface and send out a separate track for each of its parts. Admittedly that is only practical if you are using a DAW and not outboard hardware effects, but it may work for some people.

Amazing! Simple and good, like all great recipes.

When i try and play anything from oxi to sh4d, the sh4d displays "midi conmunication error", and "alert midi offline". Tried different cables. Have you ever experienced this?

Good one thanks

Thanks 🖤

Buena info, como siempre pero...como separamos los tracks a Out derecha e izquierda? Me quedé en stand by 😅 Gracias, un saludo👍🏼😜

Great sounds

Cool. Looks like this will be my first synth for my dawless system. Is it also possible to set custom modulations, like have the LFO control the pitch, or the velocity modulate the cutoff?

Rolland better, naturally!!!

I’ve been away from this synth for a while and this was a great refresher. Thank you!

can you put probability on trigs?

I like both! 👍🏾 I think the Juno X sounds better as I’m sure was the intention. I missed having a full keyboard, it definitely helps when brain storming. I’m glad I did not have to choose between the two. I bought the JunoX before the SH was released.

Synktakt has way better workflow Roland 4D has way better sound Personally i would pick Digitakt II and 4D. Highly versatile setup 📐.

I hook this up to my Roland MX-1 mixer

it is nice but a bit monotone, i think you should have others harmonic loops for varying, but it is nice...

Great video! How do you go about saving projects and keeping track of the sounds you’re using from the SH-4d?

At last some synthesizer music that is well......musical ! Nice jam which i really loved listening to.

Has there ever been an update ?

Gracias Malvinus por el tutorial! Un par de inquietudes. El preset "LD Deckards Blues Lead" no lo tengo en mi Iridium, en dónde lo puedo conseguir? Sobre el Roland SH-4D hay forma de guardar/reproducir como un preset integro modificable a futuro, que incluya por ejm los cuatro tracks que programaste en el tutorial? Gracias!

Record unquantized and more pcm samples acoustic guitar, violin, flute, and piano. Please 🙏 Roland

how rdo i connect a usb midi controller, as I want to play the synths on a actual keybed instead of those tiny buttons to play chords. Thank you

Do you need a usb drive to save scenes that you have created or can you just save the scene to the keyboard memory?

I can sadly assure you they do not care about end user requests.

Would you be able to run the SH-4D's sequencer at the same time as the Oxi one for potentially five more sequences?

Sounds like the 80's 🙃 Working on something like Kraftwerk meets blues (bass part) and a hint of Japan/Anne Clarck 😅 The SH-4d is one of the most fun aand best purchases I made and reasonaly priced too 🤠

I was going to say expand the PCM engine to include D50, JD800 and XV5080.

Keeping mine around just because it looks good on the desk, the presets are nice when I can find them to pass the time, got irritated with literally everything else about it, though I know there is more to this thing than I have the patience for.

Silence from Roland? Is there no chance to adress another direct channel to Roland?

Keep bumping into your videos 😅 Was wondering if the DX could do so but at half the price I think I go with the Keystep 37 (DIN midi in/out as CC). As for Reface had a look and listen to the CP, I'd prefer that over the DX in terms of sounds yet the midi capabilities make the DX a great option as well.

Is it the same sequencer as in the Jupiter X?

Sounds really nice. Are you happy with the Arturia keyboard? Thinking of getting Arturia or Akai, Arturia makes a better impression on me so far.

Hey, do you know how to program drums onto certain sounds?

Great clip but how do you change the sounds? Lots of issues with the manual online I've read with the MSB LSG PROGRAM CHANGE but its not exactly working via Logic.

One button recording

The SH-4d was never meant to be a groove box, so the first 5 points become moot when using an external sequencer. I have a System 8, amazing synth, but you wouldn't catch me dead using it's sequencer. The last two are big ones though, what's the point of line in if not for running things through fx? Also why isn't there a set performance save option already? Seems weird

Hello , thx for the tips, but I do not understand the random process, could you explain pls ?

I would love to have the ability to record the aux in via USB.

What about songmode?

Roland doesn't chase ghosts 😂They just badly remake their original classics and sell TR-808 themed sportswear. That said I own this device and I like it. All the things you mention would be welcome. Though for the requested software I think we'd be better off making our own in the community. I'm not quite sure they can offer the FX being used on the audio in, it might not go through the DSP.

Nice review after the hype is over. Very nice Groovebox and the current price makes it a bargain since there is nothing comparable (MC-101 is loaded with sounds but a nightmare to work with).

Great video mate. It is yet another example of Roland not developing their platforms fully. I love their stuff - but they always seem to miss R&D and BETA testing feedback. Some of your ideas are probably more "nice to have" - but the first few are really needed.

Good video. You hit all the good spots. Also more PCM sounds. Tons more.

I finally got frustrated enough that I traded in my SH4D for an MC707. I am very glad I did this.

Thank you! Great to see step by step as I couldn’t quite grasp the split from the manual. Everything but the octave + worked for me. Once the patch is save- shift and write, should the octave + be saved?? Thanks
