Roland SH-1000

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details:
" This is a Roland SH-1000 synth. It is the first synth Roland produced and possibly one of the first commercial Japanese synths, which makes it quite a collectible.

It has 10 preset sounds and a synth section for creating your own sounds. On the synth section there are 9 synth selectors giving a range from 32' to 2' each of which can be combined for generating more complex waveforms. It also has a VCF and VCA. Effects include Vibrato, Tremelo, Portamento, Glide, Growl, Waw and Random Note which plays "accidental" random notes, interesting effect. There is also White and Pink noise. It's got pretty much everything. Spend a little time with it and you will be soon producing some very cool and unique basses, leads and weird sounds.

It has a nice rich analog sound and has some very interesting modulation features not found on the later SH models."
