Nice overview. I have six boutiques and totally agree that the SH-01A is the best one. The emulation is nearly flawless. Purists will always claim every digital emulation sounds "nothing like the original", which is almost always a wild exaggeration, but there usually are differences, especially at extreme settings. However, in this case they really did nail it. It's amazingly close, and just like the original, it sounds incredible no matter what you do with it. This is one of the most useful pieces of gear in my studio. It finds a place in every track.
How in the actual HECK do you only have 90 subscribers?!?! 🤦♂️ Fantastic job on this comparison. Seriously. My favorite channel to watch synth reviews, tutorials, and 'tips & tricks' is loopop. But I'll tell you what; half way through this video I subbed with all notifications, about to checkout part 2 from you, and I'll be checking out your other uploads promptly. Really great info you choose to use in the video and especially the ending explanation. 👍 Thank you for the video. Cheers! -H.B.
Just bought a sh01A , and I’m very impressed with this synth it will be even better when my km25 comes .ive owned jp08 sold it to fiddly, ju06 not to keen on the sequencer but sounded great still sold it , I’ve kept tr08 and 09 they sound great and look great. Not overly fussed about 03 as it’s not quite there with sounding like the 303 it’s not got the liquidy acid fizz looseness that the 303 had, not fussed about d05 or jp03 .but sh01A is a beast it’s the only one the I look forward to using, as a previous RUclips subscriber said “it’s hard to make the sh101 sound bad” true true.... it always sounds good
The only issue I have with these boutiques is the noise you get when using usb so if you are using more than one then that noise can build up and its quite irritating. Its great that you can record via usb but when using live its surely an issue if you have several of these making that much background interference?
@@maccagrabme For whatever reason, I don't have that problem. I've heard lots of people complain about it, so I'm sure it's real, but in my case I have six boutiques and a System-8, all using USB audio, and they all have literally zero noise. They're all connected to powered hubs, but it could be down to the design of your computer itself. I'm using a late 2015 iMac. A few suggestions: Try a powered hub; if you already have one, try a different one. Don't bother with ferrite clamps on USB cables - it won't help (they filter out frequencies that are way beyond the audible spectrum). Finally, you have the option of using battery power even when connected by USB, which some people say eliminates the problem. In the case of the SH-01A, hold down the 7 button while turning on the power to force battery power mode.
Sh-01A is better deal than sh-101, but sound is not there original got something different in filter going on. So I suggest to get SH-01a then original even if sound is a bit to sharp I would say, but main thing is that you can clock it with other gear and thats big +
norman bates yes! Check the back of your Yamaha Keyboard for a MIDI output. Acquire a midi cable and connect the output of your Yamaha to the midi IN of your SH01a. Hope that helps!
How can we really know our synths are vegan though? I have got rid of all my animal based instruments (except one drum no one will take but I have someone interested).
I was here a year ago and today I still could never hear a difference in a mix! Video is great thanks once again!
TAL make a great SH101 plugin called the TAL Bassline 101 for Mac or Windows. Its extremely good, just like all the TAL plugs!

I had one in the ‘80s and thought it was the best thing ever.
Yeah Roland did a good job with this one, agreed!

i love my sh-01a...
great little synth...
This video is so cute and down-to-earth! Yes, agree, it's one of the best boutiques. Polyphonic! You're making me want to go buy another one too..

Have you tried the SE-02 yet?
redirishmanxlt lol don’t even get him started on that one
TB03 is Amazing

Well that just cost me 350 quid
Better than 350 squid!
Fellow vegan here! Great video thanks for making it!!
Awesome comparison! Subscribed! Can you provide a link or model number for the tilt tray? Thank you.
Thank you! The Model of the Tilt Tray is the Roland DK-01 Here's the link:www.roland.com/global/products/dk-01/
great review and comparison, thank you
you can only compare by playing a while set of riffs on one then the other. The originals often sound more fluid/warm. noticed that with the Ody's
thanks for putting this together -- hope your channel grows!
muy bueno saludosndesde tijuana
This piana is my favorite natural vegan synth.
Hahahahahhahahahahahahaaa!!! All (power) plant based!
Hey bro, how come I don't hear any difference between GATE keypress mode and GATE+TRIGGER mode ? Is it because i'm in poly mode?
AGREE!!! :)
thx, great vid!

really cool video! i love the Sh-01a so much i want to get a second one as well.
I've always wanted an sh101, maybe in the future.
Don’t bother no midi ,no usb, high maintenance and no difference in sound .....
Buy the analog Roland SE-02. Huge sound and it’s a mono synth too with more options.
Hi there. I'm new to this. I have a yamaha keyboard and i was wondering if it's possible to plug the sh01a to it and play my keyboard. Thanks.
norman bates yes! Check the back of your Yamaha Keyboard for a MIDI output. Acquire a midi cable and connect the output of your Yamaha to the midi IN of your SH01a. Hope that helps!
great man. thanks.

Enybudy Out there how wants my SH 101?
Yes!
no cv & gate was deal breaker
Damn it, you just had to go and show off the red one didn’t you ? - now my wallet is much lighter...
where is part 2?
which keyboard for the SH01??? how did you plug it in ? thanks
