a reproduction of the iconic SH-101 synthesizer
The Roland SH-101 Synthesizer was introduced in 1982 with portability and affordability in mind, proving that big things can come in small packages whilst currently holding a massive space in the history of popular music. Simple to program and impressively flexible, the Roland SH-101 is among the "most enjoyable" synths ever, it was available in 3 different colours and could even be played like a keytar!
Featuring an inviting interface and stunning analogue sounds, the "101" made its way on to countless records through the decade's most popular artists, and is still a much-coveted synth by today's finest producers. The Roland SH-101 Software Synthesizer brings all the fun (minus the "keytar" hand grip and step sequencer!) of the hardware instrument to the desktop of producers everywhere! Just like all ACB-powered synths, the SH-101's character and spirit of fun are completely captured by this stunning recreation, available exclusively on Roland Cloud.
Capturing the OriginalNow legendary, the SH-101 was a monophonic synthesizer released by Roland in 1982. In contrast to the many complex synthesizers available at the time, the SH-101 soon became popular for its characteristic tone and simple one-VCO › one-VCF › one-VCA › one-LFO structure. A large number of artists found it quick to program and adept at bright unique tones and exciting sound effects. Thirty years later, the SH-101’s hallmark sounds continue to be searched for by electronic artists across the world.
SH EvolvedGo further than the original hardware with enhanced tone shaping possibilities and seamless DAW integration via AU and VSTi plugin interfaces. Full PLUG-OUT support allows you to use SYSTEM-1 as a dedicated controller and even use the SH-101 without a computer. The freedom of hardware. The flexibility of software. The sound of a legend.
