Roland SH-7


via this auction

"Roland SH-7 - Roland's flagship monosynth. Mid range serial number with first revision oscillators and keyboard circuitry. The original silver/black rotary controls have all been replaced with high quality collet knobs. Note the 'one note - two note' switch that allows the SH-7 to be used duophonically. The original rotary knobs were designed to fit 6mm knurled shafts and the new rotary switches I fitted have a much smaller 1/8" shaft so new knobs had to found. These new knobs are aesthetically pleasing and have a good grip. The original smaller white slider caps on the five footage sliders have also been replaced with new Technology Transplant clones of the wider caps used in the rest of the instrument. A close up of the twin VCO section showing the new knobs and the state of the front panel. Some paint has been chipped off in places. The rear panel of the SH-7 showing the ample CV/gate and audio I/O. Twin ADSRs and a good collection of filter modulation inputs make this an excellent monosynth."
