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.

Sorry, I bought mine from Adelaide in 77, or was it 78?
Venue Music? Anyway, the SH7 was one misunderstood machine. 80's disco was so prevalent at the time that when the 6 oscillator machines became available..............
I had this synth as my very first one, back in the early 14th century. Anyone want to sell me theirs? Prepared to pay its' worth.
Yes, has CV/Gate out as well. In addition to CV/Gate in/out it also has trigger in as well as an envelope follower through the external signal input.
Does this thing output CV/Gate signals, or does it just receive them?
