Nice video! To share some info related to the autobend sync thing, the SH-7's oscillators are split into two parts: the octave processor and the waveform processor. They both use the same design, but the output of the former is fed into a T-flip-flop network that divides the generated pulse (also fed through a T-latch of its own) down to the required octave divisions, which is beneficial since the octave tracking done this way results in better temperature stability. The sync pulse from oscillator one comes from the raw output of the octave pulse generator, before the flip flops, and is fed into oscillator 2's octave pulse circuitry. Now because its fed into only that half of the circuit, and not the whole thing, my guess is you're hearing the the T-flip-flop stage clamp the frequency at those points, since the flip-flop is edge triggered, and will have more or less the same frequency until it receives the next trig pulse. This is also likely why the effect is more pronounced at higher ranges. Hope this helps!
This machine and it's other members of this Roland family are the most perfect looking and sounding synth's ever made. The way they look has not lost any single amount of attraction and they will be the best looking synth's till the end of time. I do not understand why Roland is not using this unbelievable pool of possibilities for their new products? There are companies who would spend millions to be able to have something like this in their line.
Not only do I now want an SH-7, more importantly (and attainably) I want to play synthesizers in general. I find your videos pretty inspiring generally Alex, but this one especially so. Thank you so much for bringing joy and enthusiasm to the internet in a way which I'm sure I'm not the only one to find so uplifting.
100% agree with you about this synth. It looks like SO much fun! What a shame it came out at a bad time. I'd love to have one. By the way great music too. What I like about your music is that it knows exactly what it wants to be and is unapologetic. That final track made me smile so much, remembering the glory days of synthesizers. I love this channel. 🙂
@@EphemeralProductions It's just that it's a synth that is comparable to the ARP Odyssey in terms of power and appeal, but the Odyssey was released in 1972 and the SH-7 was released in 1978, which was the same year that the first modern polysynths arrived. Interest changed overnight and the SH-7 just didn't fit. I talked about it from 11:48 if you want the longer answer.
I keep forgetting you have a complete System 100. I only have the 101 & 102. Jealous!! 🤣 SH-7 is the only SH I haven’t played, or frankly, heard a decent demo of. Until today. Thank you, as always for showing off the musical capabilities of your gear.
I am lucky to own the entire 100m and 100. Just need the 700. 😉 Yeah, the SH-7 is quite an un-Roland Roland, much like the SH-5. They captured their classic vibe just after this I think, which is what makes these early ones particularly interesting.
'... both use a 24 db or 4 pole resonant low-pass filter that uses ca3080 otas with with fat transistors as buffers. i don't know what i just said but for a second there you thought that he knows what he's talking about. i don't, i can just read'. :-))). brilliant, the funniest thing someone said on the internet for a really long time. great content, thanks a lot.
That first jam was awesome, the sample and hold bleeps morphing into a synthwave tune. If Alex Ball only did tunes he'd be a legend, the fact he talks about the synths and does humour and is so British that once he cut himself and bled tea is just the icing on the cake.
I thought you'd already covered every Roland SH synth in the observable universe... But here you are, yet again with another one! And, like all of them, it's another great and unique sounding synth! Roland was on fire back then.
Happened to have my headphones beside me so got the intro jam full blast. Awesome mate. What a cool synth! Love the sound. Congratulations swooping badger on your wonderful purchase!
I love it when you get new kit 'cause firstly we get to see it played how it was meant to be, and secondly I know it's in good hands where it will be taken care of and played with, rather than sitting in a museum.
great video, really enjoyed it. And not only the gear demonstration: I geniuinely think it's teh first time I watch a video from someone doing gear (or software or whatever) demos that actually has talent as a musician, the music you created with this is amazing!
Oh wow, I love the sound of this thing! I'm a chiptune guy first, and the demo tracks you've made here (especially the first two!) sound fantastic and *very* demoscene. The outro track sounds straight out of an Amiga game! So dang cool! Thank you for sharing this obscure piece of kit!
I had an SH5 many years ago. It was an incredible synth but I sold it to fund a Juno 60 in 1982, which I was somewhat disappointed with. Oh well. Happy times with the SH5 though.
Indeed rare. You are lucky, and so are we to see you with this in the studio now. I swear you are the only musician to keep the attention and mesmerize a goldfish. Great video and content about a great synth.
You can tell by these jams how this synth inspires you - I mean your demos are always great but these ones melted my face 🔥 clean off, no face only bones. I'm glad its yours forever.
Great synth! Thanks for sharing. There seem to be people who prefer the SH-5 over the SH-7, which I quite never really understood. To me too, this is a really unique beast…
The opening musical bit made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Wow! The world needs a full version (about 7 to 10 minutes will be ideal). Please!
Terrific segment as usual Alex thank you. Those early Rolands yeah. I never knew that the SH-1 and SH-7 shared a similar filter design to the System 700. This explains much about their popularity.
The SH7 was my favorite Roland SH synth when i bought the "A-Z" books in the beginning of the 1990. :D Everyone warned me that the filter sounded cold. Finally in 2014 I bought one... the filter sounds crap. :D But I like her, and she looks so hot :D
Well, it was pretty unobtainium already, but now that Alex Ball has reviewed it I can say goodbye to ever owning one unless winning the lotery. I still adore you and your channel, don't worry.
It's a thing of beauty and probably the pinnacle of monophonic synths, but as Alex says, timing was all wrong. Sad really, as it sounds incredible. So happy it founf a home with you, Alex
Alex playing a real synthesiser , made in a time when you really needed talent to get the best out of it unlike modern instruments and this man has talent.
Judging by all the RUclips demos I have heard of this, and especially this demo, this is my favorite analog synth that I have ever heard. I don’t know anything else like it.
You should really do something withe the "Demo 2: Remix Machine" The old Roland synths (including the older Jupiter 6) have a "sound" to them... a bit like the System 100 too but not quite. It's liquid to my ears. The old Moog and it's siblings have a more organic/natural sound to them, I think. Both are quite pleasant to my ears. Apart from that, I surely enjoy your demo´s and I am happy for you to get this old "classic". Cheers and keep up the good work that a lot of people enjoy and also use as a reference.
Uli, are you watching? One of these please? This is so cool. I remember hanging out in the music store, and playing all the new Roland synths, in the 70s. Man, those were exciting times, thanks for bringing back wonderful memories. Sweet music, and great video production. Best wishes for your continued success 🎶🌎☮
Alex is the man who will spend two weeks (at least) composing quirky and cool demos for a synth, and another 16 hours making flashing hand animations...
Seriously bro. I cannot believe you make the time to reply to a comment as innocuous as mine. I cant thank you enough for being so amazing. Ps. Got a green ms20, so im bias to the colour. 👍
Great video Alex! It showcases many of the small details in the SH-7 that make it a unique synth. Here’s a trick you really should try: put a mic in the external input, send the signal through the ring mod and apply some filter FM to it from VCO2. Now, play along on the keyboard in the same key as you sing. Instant robovoice!
How have I lived so long and not checked this thing out before? I just found out that this is the only mono analog I've ever needed! (Still love my 2600 though.) Your audio demos are creative and inspiring, Alex...top notch work! 🎹
@@AlexBallMusic a beefed up Odyssey perhaps, but it still sounds very Roland analog. Maybe I’m just a bit biased because I know what many of them sound like, but i hear a common sonic character in all the vintage SH, Juno, Jupiter, System-100/700, JX instruments. Even though many of them employ different oscillator and filter technology, they have a common presence (perhaps it’s “air” or “sizzle”). As soon as I heard the first lead sound in this video (1:06) I grinned and nodded, if that makes sense.
Just found your channel, and holy shit I haven't subbed so fast to a random in recent memory. You're so good at what you do, and very thorough in your examination and history of these underappreciated devices!
Coooooooool. You did it again with simple video tricks that kicked ass. It looks so ......????? Tweak me ?? Probably one of the coolest looking synths I have seen.
While the shapes of these waveforms may be “usual” they do punch a lot of character, especially the sawtooth. Something I cant find in todays crop of so called analog synths. Had I know this machine existed I would have purchased it long time ago. As always great video 🎉
I had one of these, first proper synth I really had. I basically threw it away when I got my Fairlight and I couldn't regret that more. We managed to get sounds out of that thing that I have never managed to reproduce with any synth or plug-in since.
I feel like your love for this particular model of synthesiser really shows through in the demos. They're always good, but it felt a bit different somehow.
I got that R is for Roland book with lots of beautiful photos featuring the sh7 and fell in love. My friends say ‘the sh5 has a better filter’ - they still don t remember that i hear with my eyes too. It looks sooooo good!
@@klinkskeSomeone is selling both?! The 5 has the interesting filter, filter routing and a great raw sound, but it's actually not quite as cool and modulation rich as the 7 in my opinion. Subjective of course. They both look absolutely stunning, yeah! Quintessential vintage synth.
Great video mate, remember when this synth came around 1978 and the guys at the local musicstore in Stockholm were amazed what kind of sounds I managed to bring out playing with it for 15-20 mins because they obviously didn't understand this beast ;-)
I was casually listening to Donna Summers classic hit I Feel Love then this vid autoplayed and that intro jam was just... perfect. Could've listened to 10 min of that!

Holy SH-7 !
I can't believe that I've never noticed that! Haha!
hahaha
Outstanding haha!

Best comment. Ahahahah!
This is THE most synthesizer sounding synthesizer I have ever heard. How was I not aware of this thing? ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I was coming to say the EXACT SAME THING!
Incredible mono synth!
I believe that title goes better with an OB-X
1970's synth personified - raw and beefy.
It is a super fat synth! Goodness gracious! All that sticky maple syrup!
@@ChrisCebelenski100% agreed. Experimental and quirky ❤❤
I sincerely hope people in the far future appreciate the way Alex is documenting all of these incredible machines, even if none of them exist anymore
Cheers. Yes, posterity is always on my mind with this era of tech.

That Demo 2 - Remix machine was very lit! Sweet stuff! :D
Epic sounds
2023 Roland plugged into 1978 Roland with 1982 and 1993 Rolands joining in seems to be the sweet combo.
@@AlexBallMusic I agree, Demo 2 really hit home with me.
Nasty green bugger. It looks like a tank's dashboard 😜
Haha! Yes it does.
I love how Alex just casually jumps into various old school synth jams.
Not only do I now want an SH-7, more importantly (and attainably) I want to play synthesizers in general.
I find your videos pretty inspiring generally Alex, but this one especially so. Thank you so much for bringing joy and enthusiasm to the internet in a way which I'm sure I'm not the only one to find so uplifting.

Not only informative but some great tunes as well. Alex is one of the few RUclipsrs that can actually produce great music.

I start my youtube days with Jawoodle and end my youtube week with Alex Ball. Thumbs all the way up!
i absolutely LOVE my SH-7. thanks for the video going to go play mine now.
It does sound amazing, but tbh Alex you make everything sound pretty bloody amazing.
The final little demo is such a damn joy. Exemplifies what you said about making sporingy boingy music!
Gotta love that Rare roland gear! Always premium videos come from big dawg Alex ball! I need one of these.
This synth is one of the best sounding ever made. Your jams on it make me realize how much impact it had on modern music.

Very unique sounding synth. Great video as always 👍
Im almost lost for words to relay how much i love the colour scheme. That two tone green. Same as system 100? Glorious.
Actually a different green to the System 100 (unless it's just that my units have aged differently).

Great video Alex! It showcases many of the small details in the SH-7 that make it a unique synth.
Here’s a trick you really should try: put a mic in the external input, send the signal through the ring mod and apply some filter FM to it from VCO2. Now, play along on the keyboard in the same key as you sing. Instant robovoice!
Great sounding synth! Reminds me of an even dirtier sounding SH-101 which is one of my all time favorite synths.
Discovered the SH-7 after buying my SH-5 some years ago. Liked it then and now even more!!
Like the video’s you make, keep up the good work!!

Nice gritty introductory bass. Interesting how much the dynamics on the bass changes depending on the speakers used.

They are particularly fat sounding.
The GAS never stops! Great vid!
Cherry Audio should make a software version of this. Thanks for the video Alex! You definitely deserved to snag that SH-7.
I'm sure they'd nail it and also make it polyphonic.
oh me oh my, I’ve stopped buying plugins but would buy the hell out of those

Great vid m8! The pwm on this synth is badass like nothing I have ever heard in my life. Perhaps the Jupiter 4 might come close?
Okay. I had no idea this was a thing, and I'm mad it took this long to find out about it. It's a delightful machine!
There were never many of them, it seems to remain largely forgotten. I was lucky to find out about them some years back.
