Roland SH201 v SH101 Synth Shootout--Gearwire Crosstalk #018
YouTube via gearwire. Via Music Thing. Tom of Music Thing says Gearwire is like Wayne's World for synths. I didn't make that connection until now. Funny! : ) You can see more of their videos here. You be the judge. Regardless, good stuff. Here's the Vocoder video they refer to.

ReplyDeletearrrrrgh
ReplyDeleteIt's apples & digital oranges.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the sh-201 reminds me more of the JX-3P. Maybe not as sought after as the SH-101, but Roland could have played the Madonna card with it.
ReplyDeleteI love the part of the video where the one guy asks about the filter modulation and then says, "is this... is this thing?" and then proceeds to push the filter mod slider. Classic.
I was in the music store today and played onw for a bit. I was impressed with the sound of the filter - it's really very good compared to most VA's.
ReplyDeletethe gearwire lads come across to me as being cheech-and-chong-level stoned. Maybe they're just like that all the time? For their sake I hope not. Surely the bong is just off-camera. Regardless of which, even when I'm stoned off my ass I apparently know more about synth architecture than these clowns do...
ReplyDeleteThat aside I give 'em props for doing live-action synth reviews and not being the manufacturer... very cool.. but get a clue, d00ds! I'd like to see more of this sort of presentation only with more competent demonstrators.
i think its great what these guys are doing, it seems that many people r new to synths, i just keep thinking everyone is like me with 24years or more synth tweakin
ReplyDeleteI just feel bad for the SH101 (not being given justice) and feels lucky for owning a SH101 with no chipped keys LOL
ReplyDeleteSH201 sounds thin tho...
I actually liked some of the sounds they got after the "now you ruined it" part. :D
ReplyDelete... sweet..
ReplyDeletemy fav part is when he says:
"so its only got a lowpass filter?
no actually its band-pass because its got resonance on it"
.. sweet..
Cool, i didn't know 101's have blenders built in! It should be titled Misinformation Crosstalk.
