Great portable synth!

By John B.

I love the sound and form factor of this synth. My favorite of all the boutiques. I recommend using it with the optional keyboard attachment.

Make your music production soar with the sleek and sophisticated Roland Boutique SH-01A Synthesizer Module, a modern reinterpretation of the legendary Roland SH-101. This innovative module brings the past into the present with Roland's proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, meticulously emulating the original's analog circuits to capture the iconic sounds and idiosyncrasies that have captivated musicians for generations.

Experience the sonic versatility of the SH-01A with its array of soundscapes, from deep basses and piercing leads to atmospheric noise and intricate sound effects. The addition of new Unison, Chord, and four-voice Polyphonic modes takes the original's iconic sound palette to new heights, offering a breadth of creative possibilities.

The built-in sequencer is a nod to the original's creative potential, now enhanced with the capacity to save and recall 64 patterns, ensuring that your musical ideas are never lost and always ready for performance. The easy-to-use arpeggiator, with its three playback modes, note hold, and transpose switch, adds dynamic movement to your compositions.

Integration with your existing setup is seamless, thanks to the CV/Gate output, which allows for control over modular or vintage gear. The SH-01A also boasts a variety of sync options, including internal and external MIDI, MIDI via USB, LFO clock, and trigger input, making it a versatile hub for any electronic music environment.

With 64 writeable preset patches, the SH-01A invites you to dive into sound design, offering a solid foundation for both preset recall and experimental exploration. The advanced LFO with new waveforms and an extended clock rate range further expands your creative toolkit.

The SH-01A is not only a powerhouse of sound but also a beacon of durability, featuring a high-quality construction with a metal front panel. Its portability is unmatched, perfect for mobile music making, whether powered by batteries (4 x AA) or USB. When paired with the K-25m Keyboard Unit and other optional Roland Boutique accessories, the SH-01A transforms into a compact, integrated synthesizer.

Available in limited-edition red and blue colors reminiscent of the original SH-101, the SH-01A synthesizer module is a testament to Roland's commitment to authenticity and innovation. Whether on stage or in the studio, the SH-01A is designed to be the centerpiece of your electronic instrument setup, delivering the timeless charm of the SH-101 with the advanced capabilities today's artists demand.
