Roland SH-7

A very flexible oldie from Roland. Standard SH sound with lots more creative control and tweak-ability! The VCO's are a little different than traditional SH synths, they are syncable! There's also a mixer for all the audio signals which can be distorted for brash techno sounds. It's fun and easy to use but very powerful and perfect for screamin' techno sounds and effects! It features many new functions like an external audio input, a ring modulator, syncable VCO's, more waveform shapes, white/pink noise generators and sample+hold. It has been used by INXS.

Who the hell are Beatels?
Anyway, amazing looking synth. I have heard a Roland system 100 and it blew me away, so if the Sh7 sounds anything like it then wow!

I got mine in Tucson, AZ in the fall of '79. Wonderful machine. I added a CSQ-100 sequencer and a TEAC A2340SX 4 trac tape machine. I've kept them in perfect condition, they still work great and have been enjoying all ever since.

Keep Making Noise!

The one in Alberta is mine and won't be selling it for a penny less than 2k. So I guess I won't be selling it which is fine. Not sure why they got so hard to move all of a sudden as people have paid 3k plus shipping before.

Funny thing though, always thought mine was a later one as its the highest number I've seen listed but it is actually an earlier one from September 1978. Found out thanks to the Roland Serial number checker thing.

There's one here in Alberta right now for under $2k. Check the usual sites if interested - but rich for my blood
