@NostalgicExplorer sold all my synth stuff in the mid 1990 s , picked up a boxed TB303 for $100 from a local pawn shop (sold 1000), mint TR909 garage sale $150 (sold it 1500) got my SH5 for $350 and sold it a couple of years later for $650... all Australian dollars, who would have thought.. i miss the sh5 and Alpha Juno2 + pg300 the most ✌️
I've never seen anybody demo stuff by literally just holding down random keys and wiggling random knobs. I guess that's about what I would do with a monosynth without MIDI LOL. But I'd at least try plugging an SQ-1 into the filter CV or something.
Hey I wanted to show the sounds of the synth, I don't know if it happens to you with monosynths, but just playing it you spend a lot of time enjoying just holding keys, and exploring the knobs, I wanted to capture that in this video. There is definitely the option of using CV, which I did for the song you are listening in the background and I promise I will hook some other synths and sequencers in the next video. Thanks for watching and supporting this content! :)
Roland has gone to shizzzzz now…here is the thing I remember that Roland started in England in the 70s but now everything says it started in Japan but I thought a Japanese company bought Roland in the 80s after the fail of the 808 303 909 but why in the world would a proud Japanese company call themselves Roland and why would they produce instruments in Italy none of it makes sense it’s a conspiracy I swear mandela effect call me crazy I’ve been into Roland’s vintage synths since the 90s and if u look at some the sh series and ace tone they are made in Italy it doesn’t make any sense but that synth is amazing and sounds better than all the gear now the ceo actually said we will never chase the analog ghosts of the past that guy needs to be fired their customer service is horrible and so is their pcm bs nobody likes them and if they do they are most likely a noob that’s never touched a Jupiter 8 or Juno 106
The S-1, which is the current state of the SH family, is very far from "shit". You're NOT correct. You're just not. Can you build something like the S-1, and have it sound as good as it does, then offer it for $200USD? Highly unlikely. I would also put big money, on you not being able to tell the difference between for example an SH-101, and an S-1, if blindfolded.
Not sure what you're on about. Roland has always been and still is a Japanese company. It was founded by Ikutaro Kakehashi in 1972. Previously he owned the Ace tone company. The "Roland" name was selected for export purposes, as Kakehashi was interested in a name that was easy to pronounce for his worldwide target markets. Kakehashi had the international market in mind right from the start. I don't know about stuff being produced in Italy, but it could be rebranded stuff bought out by Roland, but I don't know anything about that. All my Roland equipment says "Made in Japan".
Just about to watch... Just want to say thanks for your your efforts. Ive been watching more of your stuff lately. 👍
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you like this one, I really enjoyed exploring this synth.
It's kind of amazing the my AIRA S-1 is really the current state of the SH family. And it's very impressive for $200USD.
Yes, for $200 is absolutely amazing!
As an organist who owns an SH-2000 I have serious issues with your statement at 3:32 !
Arguments are always well received.
Reminds me of my long gone SH5 , so 😔.
What happened to your SH5?

What rules should he go by so its not random? Is there a standard demo order one should follow?
Nice fat and gritty sounds
Yes, for a first it's really nice. I enjoyed using it for this video. Cheers!
