The Roland SH-101 is a compact analog monophonic synth that has been extensively used for bass sounds. The SH-101 is similar to the famous TB-303 though it lacks an internal sequencer. All parameters can be controlled in real-time via sliders and knobs.
Â
With no patch memory or built-in MIDI support, the SH-101 may seem outdated by modern standards, though the quality of its sounds far outweighs its technical limitations. More than a quarter century after it was first produced, the SH-101 remains one of the most sought-after hardware synthesizers for all genres of electronic music.
Â
Nic Endo can be seen playing the SH-101 in the White Heat music video.
