ReplyDeleteI hate when companies like roland and korg reuse names from their older better synths like sh, juno,ms etc,,,,
ReplyDeleteI hate it when companies like Roland and Korg re-use terms like Oscillator and ADSR.
ReplyDeleteThey should call them new names, like 'Orange Crumbler' and 'WavyWave'.
demoing with a hip-hop version of duran duran's "save a prayer" kinda made me smile. flat, booring sounds, but a lot of features for the price.
ReplyDeleteActually it's a pretty good synth. Even though the architecture is similar, the sound quality is more solid & cuts through a mix a lot better than the JP-8000.
ReplyDeleteI thought the review was well written Peter. I think it probably deserves a Key Buy considering it's price and ease of use (no hidden menus), however sonically I thought it was a little lacking the few times I've played with it at the local GC. I think I'd need to sit down with it alone for an extended period of time before I could make a proper call, but my first impression wasn't as strong as the JP8000. I liked the JP8000 the first time I played it, so much so I picked one up. They sound different to me. The SH-201 sounds a bit edgier to me - more aggressive. The JP8000 more refined. The JP8000 also has cross mod. As for the review, I was surprised you didn't mention the ION! That would be a great alternative and personally I'd probably go with the ION, but... It's all personal taste. Also it's worth noting I wasn't that crazy about the ION's sound when I first played it but it grew on me. As for the SH-101 comparison, I don't see it. I know that's what they are trying to market, but a JX-3P with knobs and sliders? That I see, both in look and sound. Regardless, great review Peter. I had that sense of wow that's Peter! when I saw it well before this post.
