Roland SH-3A 44-Key Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/ Original Instruction Manual

via this listing

"Roland started producing some really unique synthesizers in the mid 1970s, and they were built to a very high standard and certainly have lasted. The SH-3A was conceived as a portable full function analogue synth that had bags of charter and shared much of the same architecture & functionality from the SH-5, SH-7 and even the System 100 etc, so we think this represents excellent value for money.

Background:

Our client purchased this Roland SH-3A new in 1975, so it’s a single owner machine that’s been in their possession for just shy of 50 years, and only ever been used in a home environment. This is a UK model, so 220~240v, and is hard-wired with a UK 3-pin plug which is stored in the compartment within the flight-case in the underside of the synth.

Servicing:

As mentioned above, Kent at KSR has just going the SH-3A a full service, so it’s perfectly working and sounding like a SH-3A should, and he commented that the synth is in beautiful condition inside and out.

Condition:

We rate this as in excellent all original condition, unmodified and complete with its music stand, lid and original owner manual, so very much a collectors grade instrument, that’s ready to play.

Documents:

Although we don’t have the original sale receipt from 1975, the synth does come with its original user manual."

Roland SYSTEM-100 MODEL 101, 102, 103 & 104

"This is a 4-piece Roland SYSTEM-100 set.
This is a rare item that is not often seen.

"The Roland SYSTEM-100 is a total system synthesizer released in 1975. By combining the Model 101 synth/keyboard (the basic unit) with an expander (sound module Model 102), audio mixer (Model 103), analog sequencer (Model 104), and monitor speakers (Model 109), it became the current The SYSTEM-100 is a total system like today's all-in-one workstations.
The SYSTEM-100 dramatically expands your sound design options with powerful oscillators and filters, plus modular patch capabilities.

Combining the features of the original Models 101 synth and Model 102 expander modules in the SYSTEM-100, the modular routing capabilities allow for unparalleled versatility and incredibly fat sounds to be generated. When paired with the Model 102 expander, two VCOs and two LFOs were available, and sample-and-hold, ring modulation, and noise generators all worked seamlessly in concert. Its sound quality is fat and shimmering, a great sound that sets it apart from lower-priced models.

SEQUENCER104 Sequencer Model 104 is a parallel 12-step, series 24-step analog sequencer. Up to 24 steps and 12x2 parallel connections are possible, and it can be used with CV-compatible analog synths other than the SYSTEM-100.

MIXER103 Mixer Model 103 is a 4CH powered mixer. Equipped with a spring reverb, it is a perfect match for analog synths. 

Disassembled and cleaned, slider contacts cleaned, switch contacts cleaned, POT contacts cleaned, etc., and other overall maintenance completed.

Roland System 100 Synthesizer - Ideation: Jazz Club 2035 #music #synthjam #soundtrack #synth #jazz


video upload by S R DHAIN

"The 101 keyboard provides a 4:4 bass pattern, courtesy of the 104 sequencer, which also provides some gentle modulation, which is increased later.

The 102 is in white shirt and black tie ( albeit loosened) and provides the synth clarinet. The 101 keyboard is triggering it.

The 103 mixer keeps them both together."

video upload by S R DHAIN

"The 101 keyboard provides the bass (with a little help from the 104 sequencer), and the 102 expander provides the synth piano.

The 103 mixer accepts the pair and adds analog warmth & flavour. Reverb is the only seasoning in the 103's cupboard."

"The mood has changed somewhat. The sequenced bass from the 104 to the 101 has been reprogrammed to reflect this.

The 102 expander dutifully provides the synth piano, and the 103 mixer is keeping it together."

The Roland System 100 Synthesizer - Ideation : Syntrail across the east


video upload by S R DHAIN

"The Syntrail carries on down the path, following this video : [below]

I reprogrammed the sequencer, and both lead and bass sounds to be reflective of the internal (mental & emotional) and external changes (climate, terrain, etc) that occur during a long journey."

The Roland System 100 Synthesizer - Ideation: 'syntrail across the east' #modularsynth #synthjam

video upload by S R DHAIN

"As the title suggests, it's a trek across (synth) lands & sands. The sequencer is consistently playing in non 4:4 time due to bank B's pots set to give it a twist in the timing tale/ tail.

the 101 keyboard provides bass duties (as sequenced by the 104 & transposed by its own keyboard) & the 102 provides the richly modulated Eastern- lead like sound, played from the 101's keyboard."

"Episode six of the second series of the TV program from Benge, made at his Memetune Electronic Music Studio, and the final episode of the season

The series explores his passion for vintage synthesiser instruments and studio gear and how he uses it on his productions and collaborations

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It is divided into the following sections:

LITTLE BLACK BOXES - A look at some classic rack mount synths of the 80s and 90s

SWITCHED ON - This second series looks at a type of synthesis based around the ideas of Cybernetics, which Benge calls CYBERSYNTHESIS

SYNTHESISER CLUB - A short musical demonstration of a synthesiser classic or three

COMMERCIAL BREAK - Some shameless Memetune shilling

PATCHING TODAY - A deep-dive into vintage modular systems and how to set up a patch on them, starting from scratch

VIDEO LAB - A look at old video equipment and how to create experimental visuals

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In THIS episode:

LITTLE BLACK BOXES - The Kawai k1m was a small desktop version of the K1 layer synth, introduced in 1988. Today I sequence it from an Atari ST running C-Lab Notator

SWITCHED ON CYBERSYNTHS - Patching it all together: after a brief section on quantising both pitch and time, I attempt to patch together all of the Memetune modulars (12 vintage systems!) in a giant Cybersynthesis monster patch

SYNTHESISER CLUB - Today, its more Yamahas, including a QX1 sequencer, RX5 drum machine, TQ5 FM synth module, REX50 multi FX, SY85 layer synth and a MT1X 4-multi-track cassette recorder

COMMERCIAL BREAK - Some adverts for Memetune related goodies, including the new Memetune Annual 2024 (sort of๐Ÿ˜)

PATCHING TODAY - Taking the wonky Roland System 100 for a ride

VIDEO LAB - In this episode we take the meme-mobile for a spin!

The Roland System 100 Synthesizer - Semi Generative Patch #modularsynth #synth #ambient #drone #100


video upload by S R DHAIN

"Modular & Semi Modular synths can be set to self-generate all kinds of effects, noises, and music. It can be both challenging and fun to program the synths to do this.

Here , the 104 sequencer is running at a very low clock speed and has a sequence of notes that are consistently chiming in on the 101 keyboard, which itself has the VCF & the VCA being slowly modulated by it's LFO.

The 102 expander has the sample & hold switched on to both pulse out a note trigger & slowly modulate its the VCF. My occasional interjections are to change the key of the sequence on the 101 keyboard & the 102's drone note; the 102's pitch is affected by the CV input from the 101's keyboard."

The Roland System 100 Synthesizer - variations on a theme ( Part 3) #modularsynth #synth #sequence


video upload by S R DHAIN

"Sometimes, one idea can lead to multiple variations on a theme. And many 60s, 70s & 80s Universal Studios t.v. shows utilsed this mindset with motifs created around the title music.

In Part 1, the sequencer was switched live to go from 4 steps to 8 steps. The basic time signature remained the same.

In Part 2, the sequencer's timing was being changed by bank B's pots. Noise was also used to add a drum part

In this third part, we're still hearing the same 8 notes, but the sequencer speed is being constantly changed by the sample & hold output from the 102 expander.

Note that the low drone pad is also being triggered from the same clock output, but without the lag to smooth out the ramp voltages it's firing out to the 104 sequencer; the speed of the melodic sequence ascends & descends accordingly.

Roland System 100 Synthesizer - Jamming with a multi - modulated patch #synth #roland #modularsynth


video upload by S R DHAIN

"The Roland System 100 allows you to create more sonic complexity than it initially appears to allow.

Here, the sequencer and LFO on the 102 are syncopated by ear, so there is more happening aurally. The 102's ring modulator is also being fed by the LFO for added sonic seasoning.

The 101's keyboard is triggering a slow LFO swept filter sound & is also transposing the sequence sent by the 104 to 102 in real time.

Towards the end, you can hear how the 102's sound changes as the different modulations are altered in real time."

The Roland System 100 semi modular synthesizer - playing around with the 'Being Boiled ' drum part.


video upload by S R DHAIN

"I think it should be de rigeur to make the being boiled drum pattern for every system 100 owner. It's like a rite of passage to ownership of the synth.

There's a tight sweet spot to get that thumping, meaty kick drum sound. Playing around with the noise options and filter settings on both units yields interesting results."
