Inside a Roland SH2 Synthesiser

via David:
"We had to replace the pot (slider) for the LFO rate as the speed varied randomly. Unfortunately we couldn’t find an exact match so the LFO now runs fast than it did before!

Now that it’s fixed, we use this synth a fair bit in our band, Destination Moon. Probably the most prominent use is in ‘Just Out Of Reach.’ This features the SH2’s white noise being filtered, with the filter cutoff modulated by the LFO in sample and hold mode. Meanwhile the bass guitar is played through the synth, so it’s filtered in sync with the white noise. Then we added violin and voice over the top, plus some whooshes (more white noise!) from an Alpha Juno.

If you think your readers might be interested in hearing this, they can download the song from

There’s no link to the download from the main part of our website, so this would be sort of an exclusive for Matrixsynth readers."
