https://synthmania.de/2025/04/roland-...
"Standalone • VST3 • AU – for Windows & macOS
We’re excited to present our brand-new software editor for the Tubbutec SH-1oh1 Mod – the ultimate control center for all advanced features of the legendary Roland SH-101. With this editor, you’ll unlock the full creative potential of your synthesizer, right from your screen.
Why this editor?
The Tubbutec mod transforms the Roland SH-101 into a powerhouse – but many of its features are only accessible via key combinations or hidden parameters. This editor solves that: All settings at a glance, easy access, and perfect DAW integration."

video upload by SonicProjects
"SonicProjects OP-X PRO-3 comparison to Oberheim OB-X as well as Jupiter-8 and Prophet-5. Includes A:B tweaking as well as comparing cloned presets.
Setup:
Upper keyboard: Oberheim OB-X Rev.2 vintage built in 1980 equipped with 6 voices. The stereo output goes directly to input 1 and 2 of an RME Fireface UC which has very clean and neutral sounding converters. Signal directly recorded to disk.
Lower keyboard: E-MU Xboard 61 MIDI keyboard attached via USB to a MacBook Pro M1 2020 with macOS Ventura 13.4. The MIDI signal is driving OP-X PRO-3 which is hosted in Logic Pro. The stereo output of OP-X PRO-3 is directly recorded to disk.
Blue skin installed.
Parts:
00:00 A:B tweaking
10:51 Comparing presets
23:35 Jupiter-8
29:05 Prophet-5
Since no Jupiter-8 and and Prophet-5 were available this part of the comparison uses the excellent original factory presets recordings of Synthmania:
