via this auction"For the few that may not be familiar with the the unit, the SH-101 is a monophonic analog synthesizer famous for being a monster of a bass machine. Equipped with 3 separate wave forms, the square, the sawtooth and a dedicated sub-oscillator, the SH-101's mixer section allows you to mix in as much or as little of each wave to satisfy your inner basshead. The 101 is just as happy pushing out deep bowel disrupting sub bass as it is doing snappy funky rubbery acid type bass.
Or, silence all the oscillators and make the filter self-oscillate to create that subby 808 kick and then tweak all of its parameters to make it sit in your mix. Samples simply cant touch it.
You would, however, be making a mistake only thinking of the 101 as a bass machine. It is a full-on synth and as such can be made to produce deep evolving soundscapes, leads or bleeps and bloops (as they are technically known) and synthesised percussion, as well as the hardcore electronic sounds that will freak your cat out.
Within the manual, which is downloadable online, is a section with suggested settings for coaxing a wide variety of sounds out of the SH-101,... these include some of the usual things you'd expect to see such as electric piano, clarinet ,tuba, violin and vibraphone. The settings for making it self-oscillate are also there, but there are some odd sounds as well such as Machine Gun, Space Sound, and my personal favorite Funny Cat."
