EMS Universal Sequencer driving Roland MC-202 and SH-101

video upload by analogia pl

"One 'layer' of Universal Sequencer sequences the MC-202 and the other 'layer' is used to play the SH-101 live.

I don’t know what it is with EMS, but each time you get to play one of their quirky and unusual designs, you get a new kind of feeling — as if these sometimes bulky and obsolete electronics are very much alive.

Let’s be frank: there are a million simpler ways to play an SH-101 or an MC-202. But somehow, using the Universal Sequencer makes those classic synths feel completely different."

EMS Universal Sequencer externally triggered

video upload by analogia pl

"Let’s get nerdier. Someone asked if the Universal Sequencer can be triggered from the outside world. Of course it can! What I did here was a recording a sequence into the Uniseq that would play the MC-202, switched trigger to external, then recorded a sequence into the SH-101 and use gate out from 101 to externally trigger in of the Uniseq. It works like a charm."

Use any charging USB C cable to power/charge as it has a built in battery."

Pics of the inside below.

She ain’t gonna win any beauty contests, but she can kick your “I buy mint only” friends SH101’s butt any day.

Electronically perfect, cosmetically weird SH. It’s my fault…it was a UV-greened olive to brown gradient mess when I got it and I tried whitening the case and left it under UV lamps too long. You can see the original color on the battery door. While my process works wonders for keys and buttons, not so much for gray cases I guess. Oh well.

Despite the now quirky camo exterior, the electronics, rear case and keys are perfect. Power button is solid, no amount of wiggling and wobbling impacts anything. All functions were checked against another SH that I own (I’ve owned 4 and know them inside and out) and everything is spot on. All faders lubed with Deoxit F5, no crackles or jumps. There’s none of the dreaded battery leakage or other liquid damage present. It’s very clean, and as you’d expect sounds massive.

Properly matched PSU included."

10/12/25 Roland SH-101 + Peavey 1310 + Yamaha EM-100 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"Transposing a sequence on the Roland SH-101, with it’s audio output running though a Peavey 1310 delay, with one output panned center in the Yamaha EM-100 mixer, with the EM-100 internal spring reverb. The other 1310 output runs through another Peavey 1310 delay, which also runs through the EM-100, panned left, with spring reverb and a hotter impedance. There is also a little bit of stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978.

NTS:
13 mile run, Canadian jets, Italian parade"

Red Roland SH-101 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer: Serviced

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Restored vintage red Roland SH-101. New power switch, recap and calibration. Power button was replaced a few years ago. If you touch it while the unit is on you'll hear pitch wobble. That said, unit is tuned and holds absolute pitch from F1-C6. The filter and amp envelopes are calibrated as well. Sounds incredible. Recently texted with C batteries, works great

Two things of note: I removed the dust covers on both units in the transpose and LFO section. Personal preference. The red unit has a unique mod wheel that was modified by the previous owner to have a very satisfying mechanical 'click' when out the mod stick up to trigger the LFO. I've owned and serviced over a dozen 101s and never encountered another like it."

Roland MC-202 // Analog Vintage Synthesizer // BEAUTY!

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"This is the iconic Roland MC-202 from the golden era of analog synths... and this one is in beautiful condition!

The MC-202 was part of the Detroit, Belgium and Dutch house scene in the late 80s, early 90s. It's therefore becoming a rare unit nowadays, most units you find on the market were HEAVY used during those decades. Plus way less units were produced comparing to it's two fraternal twin the SH-101.

The MC-202 is basically a SH-101 with tons of additional sequencing features, CV in/out options, double sync etc... and a display! Its a gorgeous unit and it's sounds are all instant house music.

Important things to consider buying this beautiful unit from us:

No discolouration or faded teint of the outer shell like most units have!
Clean Battery compartment, most units had battery leaks in the past creating future problems on the boards, like also the case in many 606 and 303 units.
Display like new, most units have faded/watery displays.
No destructive devaluating mods have been done, no drilling in the case, etc."

Roland SH-101 VS My 101-VCF Noise Floor (and What to Do About It)

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025

Today a quick noise floor comparison of the Roland SH-101 versus my 101-VCF under no-input conditions. I've boosted the no-input signal condition by +6dB to emphasize what is happening. And what you can do silence the noise in Eurorack when you don't want it there. I'm hoping that in making this video that it will help discern what is normal behavior to be expected for the modules, and what is not."
