Product Description

Synthesizer Compact Pro Keyboard For musicians new to synthesizers, the Roland SH-201 is the most friendly and fun analog-modeling instrument on the market. ?Ultra-EZ front panel is logically designed to teach the basics of synthesis ?External input for manipulating external audio from CD/MP3 players, etc. ?Built-in delay, reverb, and saturation effects ?Arpeggiator adds instant rhythmic motion to sounds ?USB port for audio/MIDI connection to computer ?VSTi Editor software included for computer integration ?Invisible infrared D Beam controller Great Analog-Style Sound Even though it's super fun and easy to use, the SH-201 is no toy when it comes to sound. With two beefy analog-modeling oscillators onboard, complete with Roland's famous Supersaw waveform and resonant filter, this little synth can blow down doors. It also comes with high-quality delay and reverb effects for adding depth and dimension to the sound, an overdrive control for adding a ripsaw edge, and an arpeggiator for instant rhythmic motion. Ultra-Easy Operation This is synthesis at its friendliest. The SH-201's front panel puts every control directly under the player's fingertips in a logically positioned signal path from left to right. No hidden menus, no nonsense. Just play and move the knobs and sliders. It's as simple as that. Students of synthesis will love the ease and immediate gratification of the SH-201. No other modern synth on the market is as fun, friendly, and inviting. External Audio InpuT Playing the SH-201 from its keyboard is only half the fun. External audio sources can be plugged into the SH-201's external input (CD/MP3-player, sampler,, etc.) and the sound can be twisted with the front-panel knobs and sliders. Wave your hands over the SH-201's invisible D Beam for dramatic modulation. USB Connectivity The SH-201 can be connected to a computer (Mac or PC) with one simple USB cable.

This review is from: Roland SH-201 49-Key Analog Modeling Synth Keyboard Workstation/ Synth

It arrived in perfect condition MUCH sooner than I had expected :-)
The unit is great, because it is so light weight, it feels like a toy but don't be fooled this thing has some heavy wieght tones!
I am as novice a synth player as you ever find yet I am able to navigate this board fairly well, only having to refer to the manual for specific info and only infrequently.
Overall experience, *****!
