VERSION 0.1A NOVEMBER 2017 – PDF FORMAT A COMPANION GUIDE TO THE SH-01A MANUAL

This whole adventure began for me with the SH-101. My all time favorite mono synth. The synth that opened up so many doors for me. I wrote my love letter to the SH-101 and compared and contrasted various modern mono synths as comparable versions of a single oscillator, monophonic synthesizer for sale today and tried to share the spirit of just how deeply loved the synth is by me, and by many people. Little did I know that Roland had a modern version of their own up their sleeves.

I had to write a love letter to the SH-01A. Not as a replacement for my love letter to the SH-101, but rather as an addendum. There have been so many angry bears, so much criticism about authenticity. I love the SH-101. I think it remains my favorite synth (that and the Korg Mono/Poly) and nothing will ever unseat them in my heart. But I’d really like to see you try… I LOVE synthesizers. I love to play live. I love to share all that I know, and all that I can with anything who’s out there searching. When I began DJ’s covered up their records, and musicians lied about what synths they were using to make their sounds. Everyone was scrambling to get what little knowledge they could and make the most of it before “everyone else” caught up with them. It was the wild west… I don’t miss those days at all. We are living in inspirational times. Amazing machines are appearing out of nowhere every day. Pay attention, learn all you can, get your hands on these wonderful things, make music, and play live! This moment in time won’t last, and it may not come again…

LOVE.
