Roland SH-4d Compact Desktop Synthesizer

The Roland SH-4D synthesizer puts an array of synthesis and sound-design tools at your fingertips. With 11 high-quality oscillator models, you can craft classic analog tones or futuristic digital sounds. The hands-on panel gives you intuitive control over parameters for tweaking presets or building sounds from scratch. And with its lightweight, compact design, the SH-4D is equally at home in your studio, on stage or on the road. 11 Oscillators Provide a Universe of Sounds Whether you're looking to recreate vintage synth sounds or break new sonic ground, the SH-4D has you covered. It features 11 oscillator models, including analog classics like the SH-101 and JUNO-60, along with digital waves and noise. With multiple oscillator slots, you can layer and combine different models to make dense, evolving pads or searing lead sounds. And with up to four notes of polyphony, your creations will sing in full harmony. Perform and Record Patterns on the Fly The built-in pattern sequencer makes it easy to build up loops, rhythms and textures in real time. Select a tempo and time signature, then simply press record and play notes on the keyboard or use the step input buttons. Motion recording captures filter sweeps, LFO changes and other sonic manipulations as you perform for dynamic, emotive sequences. With 16 tracks and extensive editing options, you can create and combine patterns into full compositions on the SH-4D. Sculpt Your Sound With Powerful Effects To polish your tones and add depth and dimension, the SH-4D includes a range of multi-effects like chorus, flanger, phaser and delay. Use the dedicated EFX1 and EFX2 knobs to dial in the perfect amount of each effect, then save your settings to a patch for instant recall. A 3-band equalizer helps you shape the tone to suit any mix. And with reverb, your sounds will have a lush, spacious quality whether performing live or recording in the studio. Take This Desktop Synth Anywhere Despite its robust synthesis engine and hands-on control, the SH-4D has a lightweight, compact design that's perfect for gigging musicians and producers on the go. It features an aluminum chassis, sturdy knobs, and buttons and wooden end panels for a premium feel. And with stereo 1/4" outputs, a headphone jack and MIDI In/Out, it integrates easily into any live or studio setup. Power it via the included AC adapter or 6 AA batteries (sold separately) for total portability.
