Roland SH-101 SH101 Analog Synthesizer (1983) sound demo | Synth HQ DEMO & TUTORIAL

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Andy Whitmore

"This synth for me has been the biggest surprise. I don’t use it much as I have so many 'superior' synths – but in fact it blew me away. The sound is awesome – top quality – classic – such an easy synth to program & sounds great in a finished mix.

Vintage synth demo by Andy Whitmore, Roland SH-101 Analog Synthesizer from the year 1983 The SH-101 is a very nice synth with a great analog sound. The sound is deep and powerful. The SH-101 is perfect for very nice bass and lead sounds. The internal step-sequencer is pure fun.

Andy Whitmore started life as a top session keyboard player playing on over 50 hit records before turning his hand to music production. He went on to produce 14 top ten hits. He is a pro when it comes to synthesizers, and here explores the Roland SH-101 as part of a brand new series.

One of the most iconic synthesizers ever, Andy’s experience with this Roland classic dates back to the mid-‘90s, and he discusses the basics in his exploration of what makes the SH-101 so great."

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Luke Killen

"For something different. Today i've been pairing my old friend the G2 with the Cirklon. the G2 really does have fantastic FM capabilities, i've always loved making FM patches. In this performance the Cirklon sequences everything. The G2 has kick and Snare on A, Claps, percussion and hats on B, FM synthesis on C and FX and processing on D slot."

Published on Apr 10, 2020 K0MABA

"I performed using KORG Nu: Tekt NTS-1. The song is a chiptune with an Asian melody. Sequences and rhythms other than the melody were made by ableton live. KORG Nu: Tekt NTS-1 is fun to assemble,
You can get absorbed after assembling."

"Michel Waisvisz designed and built the very first Crackle circuit in the late 60ties together with Geert Hamelberg. This was simply a wooden frame with some print boards mounted rear-side up to be touched by the fingers. The circuits were ‘malformed’ oscillators that were very unstable and highly sensitive for finger connections. The Crackle circuit, as well as the powered speaker box, were battery powered to avoid hum and repeated exposure to dangerous electrical shocks. In 1973 Michel Waisvisz joined STEIM and started working on more touchable electronic instruments together with Peter Beyls, Nico Bes and Johan den Biggelaar, and by the mid-seventies they had created both the ‘Crackle Synth’ and the ‘Crackle Box’.

The Magnetic Fields recently used one in their album Love at the Bottom of the Sea. Swedish percussionist Sven-Åke Johansson carries one often and uses it frequently in recordings and improvisation. Mazen Kerbaj tours with one of the original Crackle synthesizers.

I used this once and it's been in the box since 2012. I have the pin that keeps the box closed in a baggie in the box. Get it, it's a cool little device."

"This AX80 is in MIGHTY slick condition. From the sleek black sides to the sharp retro fluorescent displays, this AX rocks.

The synth has been gone through and had two CEM3372 ICs replaced with new old stock ICs, keyboard contacts cleaned, power supply voltages inspected, all ribbon cables secured, and a general cleaning.
Included is a very rare AKAI branded soft case that would have been ordered separately back in the day. This is the only one ive ever seen and it definitely ties the whole vibe together.
