SH01A
The SH-01A is a compact reproduction of the Roland SH-101, one of the most popular monophonic analog synthesizers from the 1980s. A go-to peice of kit for creating fat bass lines, edgy lead sounds and spine-chilling effects, the sonic characters of the SH-101 have been revered by electronic musicians for over 30 years.
The SH-01A builds on the iconic sounds and creative immediacy of the original, but also takes this classic instrument into exciting new realms with new performance features, and polyphony!
