ROLAND SYNTHESIZER SH-2

Analog monophonic synthesizer - 1978


 

   Playing this is heaven, it's one of the best analogs in my humble opinion. Of all the synths I own it is by far the fattest, silkiest and most beautiful sounding. It has 2 oscillators and a squarewave sub-oscillator. The filter shares the envelope with the amp which limits it a bit,  but even with this limitation it is just beautiful. The filter is great, not Moog-like at all, definitely a Roland sound.

   It's my favorite synth for bass, arps and percussion. I've also multitracked it to make strings and pads. Forget the bass-station, the nord, the virus... this is the real deal.
