Vintage Synth Explorer

The Roland SH-09 is used by CABARET VOLTAIRE on nearly all of their tracks.

very stripped down synth, probably why it sounds so much fatter than anything else i've ever played with.

at the same time, its lack of features made me sell it.

Yes , the deep bass is actually phatter than the 101 and that is sayin' something!Three differences between these two that I have not seen anyone mention are 1) there is a switch that inverts the filter envelope , 2) There is a fader that delays the modulation onset( great for playing with one hand) and 3) there is a hold switch on the vca for keeping a note going without keeping a finger on the keys, useful for modulating drones and for using the external filter. The price these days is not nearly as overpriced as the 101s( less than half as much). So I saw these as a great companion or alternative. Of course if you have both you can hook them up together through cv/gate and have a super massive bass or acid sound.

what a cracker.make sure you spend a bit more and get one in reasonable condition to have a fighting chance of it lasting with you - lots of things can be or go wrong with them. much fuller and more organic sounding than yamaha cs 01 and darker than the moog rogue.no whare near as cool as cs 5. i like this synth for its sound,recommended..
