ROLAND SH 101 (SERIAL NO. 00002) DEMO

Here's a little demo on what I believe to be the second made Roland SH-101 Red monosynth.

Besides, the cool history from the owner, the SH-101 packs a lot in such a small package! It has a 3 Waveforms, PWM, LFO, Sequencer, Arpeggiator, and lots of CV input/output controls. It wa...

    I’m wondering what the Prophet 5 has that that 600 does not. Just looking at the panel I can see that it has a sequencer / arpeggiator as well as both oscillators having the triangle option instead of just oscillator b on the prophet 5. Seems like the 600 is perhaps a bit of an unsung upgrade.

      You don't have PW on the polymod section and some differences on the Wheel LFO section. Other than that very similar synths, function wise. I like the audio of the 600 more.

  • @anthonybennett3226
    @anthonybennett3226 Месяц назад

    Oh how I miss my J6. A fantastic synth that I had a lit if fun with. The Juno 6&60 were the first synths I saw and able to play back in the day. Just something about the way they looked and sounded to me. A friend got the Juno 106 really nice and at the time I was one of the first people in NC to get the Yamaha Dx7. What a complicated piece of stool sample synth but h those bell and electric piano sounds. Then I was blessed to grab a almost mint J6 in 1988 for $700 cash. That was a steal for a 3grand aynth. Man did I live that thing. The look, the sounds just push buttons move faders and turn knobs till I heard what I liked then store. I actually made it Mt main midi controller. Sadly I had to sell a few years later with marriage and a child in the way. But I would definitely lice to still have it in my setup now. Great video as it was nice to hear it in action again. Brought back alit if great memories 💯❤️🎹

    Love the JP6, great design, great panel layout. And so many features you miss on the Juno 106. The JP6 has a very distinct sound, being somehow cold but near at the same time. Blends very well with band instruments, without clouding everything up. Glad I own an MKS80, that can sound similar (but never identical, due to different circuitry).
