Roland SH-101 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer | Reverb Demo Video

There’s an LFO and adjustable filter with a variety of tone shaping options, and a section for adding portamento and pitch bends on the fly.

Finally, there’s a built in arpeggiator and sequencer with external clock inputs for syncing, CV/GATE Inputs and outputs, and a CVB hold pedal. If you find one with everything in tact, you’ll also have the option to use it as a keytar with an attachable hand grip.

Roland synthesizers are so cool, every time reverb post one of this vids I enjoy them so much! I wanna buy them all haha

The classic BOC Roygbiv bassline was made with this, along with many of their tracks.

A few tracks on Sublime's self titled album use one of these for bass instead of bass guitar. They also used it on a few other albums to.

Square wave + sub + relatively short envelope + quite a lot resonance = perfect 101 acid bass for me

[EliahHoliday]

Why Roland won't do an analog reissue of the SH101 is beyond my comprehension.

[parsil]

It sounds just like the one in Kernkraft 400!
I wanna get one so bad.

When I think of that FAT analog sound, this is the first synth that comes to mind.

[untartelette]

Doesn't sound quite as good as the Behringer original though.

[SplotchTheCatThing]

Familiar sound...
Pretty sure I've heard this on many of Skinny Puppy's songs... old and new.
Also sounds a bit... Portal 2... and I always suspected that OST was based on analog synths.

6:00 ooooh, 5/4 :D

[humstrumbangtwang]

I have one of these synths but would like to have it serviced. Can you recommend anybody in the U.K.? Thanks.

I had two of these, the first one was dead, somehow the repair guy got Roland USA to look at it... they did something... claimed it was still dead, but I managed to get some of it to work, but it worked “wrong” (made some interesting sounds). Sold it off to someone that wanted a “broken” synth. Bought a second fully working one a few years later, it was great, but I had to sell it when my wife lost her job. Bills suck (and not just the NFL team from Buffalo.)

I distinctly recall wanting to form a band with my ex-sister-in-law (who played the piano and sang) and buying her this synthesizer to wear as a keytar so we wouldn’t need a bass guitarist. Too bad I only imagined it.

[dmomcilovic]

The dislikes here are because they recently paid over the odds for an original.

[ruffles]

If this synth has a mono output then why is there some sort of weird stereo image on the video? Would the video not have been better if you just let us hear the actual sound of the instrument without doctoring it up in post? Especially adding stereo spread to a bass synth, of all things. Christ.

[allaboutthatphatbass]

I feel like "stranger things" used this, even though I know the creators of the theme didn't use it, they could've, and it would've sounded the same

[ageshero]

Does anyone really want the boutique lines? people want the real deal right? the heck. why roland not on their ish?

[mosai]

god i fucking hate the 101's subosc and that everyone always has it on in bass sounds

[Matthewsavant]

One of the most overrated vintage synths of all time. A nice sounding very simple synth but not a $1200 nice sounding simple synth
