RE: SH-101
The SH-101 is certainly analogue. It is a very cool synth, in many ways (IMO). It excels at bass sounds (that typical Roland bass.....it's no Moog). It is also nice for leads, although it's best use, for me, is as an acid bleep machine (patterns). It has a sequencer on board (100 steps, only one memory of those steps, and you can't edit the sequence......kinda tough, but good for experiments). Once you gets something programmed in (it loops), you start twisting knobs, and stuff and voila.....acid! It also has a "random" feature for the Modulation that is helpful in this use. There is also an arpeggiator....pretty cool, although basic. Remember, though it is MONOPHONIC.....as long as you know that. Prices, US dollars, are around $400 for the grey model, and a little more the red or blue.
