Great Analog-Style Sound

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though it’s super fun and easy to use, the SH-201 is no toy

when it comes to sound. With two beefy analog-modeling oscillators

onboard, complete with Roland’s famous Supersaw waveform and

resonant filter, this little synth can blow down doors. It also comes

with high-quality delay and reverb effects for adding depth and

dimension to the sound, a saturation control for adding a ripsaw

edge, and an arpeggiator for instant rhythmic motion.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ultra-Easy Operation

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is synthesis at its friendliest. The SH-201’s front panel puts

every control directly under your fingertips in a logically positioned

signal path from left to right. No hidden menus, no nonsense. Just

play and move the knobs and sliders. It’s as simple as that!

Students of synthesis will love the ease and immediate gratification

of the SH-201. No other modern synth on the market is as fun,

friendly, and inviting.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USB Connectivity

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connect the SH-201 to a computer (Mac or PC) with one simple

USB cable. Send and receive MIDI and audio through the USB

port. Take advantage of the VSTi editing software that’s included

with the SH-201 to manipulate sounds from your computer, and to

save/organize patches remotely.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

External Audio Input

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing the SH-201 from its keyboard is only half the fun. Try

plugging another audio source into its external input (such as

CD/MP3-player and samplers) and twist the sound with the

front-panel knobs and sliders. Wave your hands over the SH-201’s

invisible D Beam and drive the audience wild!
