Roland SH-01A-RD

The Roland SH-01A-RD is a reproduction of the iconic SH-101 with Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology that recreates its sounds by faithfully replicating the actual behaviour of the original analogue circuits. The SH-01A builds on the great sounds and creative immediacy of the original thereby offering exciting new polyphonic capabilities, inspiring new performance features and authenticity. The 100-note step sequencer allows you to save and access 64 sequence patterns, ideal for any performance situation. Recall any pattern at any time, and use the iconic sequencer to control your modular rig, hardware synthesizers and software plugins via CV/Gate, MIDI, and USB.

The SH-01A now has four huge voices, allowing for more modes to expand upon the original’s sound palette. On top of the classic Mono mode, you can stack the four voices in Unison mode to add some punch to your bass and lead lines. Chord mode layers any four notes, and can be shifted up and down in semi-tone intervals. Poly mode allows for four notes to be played simultaneously, making the famous monosynth now capable of pads and chords.

The SH-01A adds 64 writeable patches that can serve as presets for different tracks or quick starting points for experimenting with new sound designs, making inspiration only a button press away. This unit takes portability and stage prowess to a new level as it is small enough to take anywhere, yet ruggedly built with sturdy knobs, metal-shaft sliders and solid silver buttons.
