Roland sh201 patch creation part1

Published on Oct 1, 2016 synth-love

"An exploration of the Roland sh-201 synthesizer. Includes the sh201 supersaw.

Various thoughts on the sh-201 (especially vs the jp 8000)

Short version, if you can get a JP-8000 there is little reason to buy the sh-201. However, the sh-201 is a great synth and not as crippled as it may appear. Nearly all parameters are accessible from the synth via various key combinations.

The sound is different with the sh-201 being a bit more raw to my ears. The JP-8000 sounds smoother. The sh-201 has a lot of aliasing on high notes. It did not show up in normal use but interesting for testing purposes. If I had to guess I would think that perhaps the sh-201 has parts of the audio path and/or dsp that are cheaper than the jp-8000. This gives bad sound in the high notes but actually makes the mid-range sound very nice and raw.

The envelopes seems tuned a bit strange - hard to get the right feel and seems to be a bit of dead space on the filter env amount slider.

It is very hard to come to a judgement on the sh-201 supersaw vs. the jp-8000. I have recorded some video to address this in particular.

The sh-201 distortion/overdrive is very useful but not like the jp8080 distortion. The jp8080 rack distortion is much more flexible. The jp8000 has no distortion at all.

The reverb is nice but I would take the JP-8000 chorus + delay over it. I feel I could get similar reverb elsewhere. The JP-8000 delay and chorus are special. The sh-201 delay can be made to give chorus and it does widen the sound nicely.

It is easy to double the patch memory by programming separate sounds for the upper and lower tone. I was not aware of an easy way on the sh-201 to make arbitrary pairings for splits and layers though.

The synth is very light. Construction seems ok - mine had an issue where the mod lever would activate itself and could only be fixed by a reboot. I only had the synth for a few weeks and did not attempt to fix it.

Also of note, the random and sample and hold LFO's are nice but slower than the JP-8000. I could not achieve a nice noise-lfo type sound with the fastest modulation."

Buchla Drum Samples - Buchla Music Easel - Free Sample Pack : Link in description

Published on Oct 1, 2016 100 Things I Do

"I'm bored and uninspired of late with all the drums sounds I have in my library so I've started to make some new custom sounds from each of my synths. As the Music Easel does not have a noise source I thought it would be interesting to share some exploration of drum creation using mostly the opto-gates and modulation.

My Free Sample Pack available from

I've also snook a few moments of preview from my new album which I hope to have out before the end of the year!

Hope you all enjoy."

"I didn't use the Tom Cat and the Volca Bass in an anlog only track yet, so here it is. I hope the audio turned out ok. This is the first time I used Ableton for mastering and I only had headphones available, so... fingers crossed."

Korg Minilogue - Some Custom Sounds

Published on Oct 1, 2016 AiynZahevSounds

"Hi guys & girls, it occurred to me that I never uploaded this to youtube, just some sounds I made when I had the Minilogue. Almost all raw, but when you hear it in stereo that's double-tracking or Ableton's delay plugin. As you can hear early on, the resonance is very strong, and the built delay is quite gritty and noisy. You can also hear how versatile it is with it's various x-mod and sync modes."
