"As you can see from the pictures, it has got custom wood fluro green case (it looks so flury because of the camera flash - in normal light it looks more normal greenish colour).
The synth and the case are not connected with each other (no screws or anything), so you can take the synth out any time and tune it or modify it even more ;-)
I am a really honest person, so I would say it's not the best quality, as it's DIY. I would personally give it 3 out of 5, thou I did my best =) I am not a woodman.
Now I will describe existing modification which has been done for this particular model:Starting from the left and going to the right:
- The black knob controls the amount of KEYBOARD (normally it's just one slider in VCF section, so additional pot is installed for easier and more deeper control over this parameter)
- Two 6.3mm inputs for VCF CV in control - in this particular photo I am controlling it with MC202 without any problems- The blue knob which gives you a deeper one way control over Cut Off Frequency + Resonance sliders in one package - In my opinion, it's the best mod here, as it makes this synth sounds completely crazy! Forget about standard SH 101 - it helps you create absolutely out of this world sounds, which you can use later for sampling.
Again from the left to the right:
- First black knob/Switch - gives you the ability to mix LFO waves together e.g. Square + sine, Random S/H + Square, Noise + Sine etc. Which allows you to synthesize even crazier sounds
- Second black knob controls the amount of a wave mixing
ALL MODIFICATIONS EXCEPT KEYBOARD AMOUNT CAN BE TURNED OFF WITH A SMALL SWITCH
SO YOU CAN GO BACK TO ORIGINAL 101 ANY TIME SUITABLE
I have found and attached an old-style ROLAND logo and a !warning! metal frame from Roland SH2000 on the back of the custom case
Unfortunately, there is one small issue which I have to mention:
The modulation wheel has got one broken spring
So it doesn't go back from the right to default center position by itself (but it goes from left to center!), so you have to move it back manually. Probably you can get a replacement from a nice guy Senso (Vintage Planet synth parts) if you really need it."
