  • stop fkn bitchin you little children !!

  • Very useful!

  • @TMAT09 That's what I am told. Hey you are good at this.

  • @TMAT09 And you must be the worlds greatest psychic.

  • gotta love the supersaw :)

  • 2:26 is so nice

  • Great sound I am going to have to hunt for the setting to get some of those sounds LOL

  • What were your settings for the patch at 2:07?

  • Nothing I've heard inspires me to make music. Very weak unfortunately, Roland have gone backwards with this one.

  • this or the new gaja?

  • @offroadrc or the JP-8000 ? hehe

  • @stormshadow2100 yes that's a great synth to

  • @offroadrc Well i have both the sh-201 and the cool JP-8000 .

    I loaded my JP-8000 with the amazing Vengence soundsets :-)

  • Nice sounds!I wanne have one!!!

  • muhahah great man :D

  • Got one a few weeks ago. Got a question. I´ve bought a secondhand sh-201. I can only load the patches from the sh-201 librarian and editor. I can´t get sounds out of my synth without using the librarian or editor and I don´t want it to be stuck on my computer! can someone give a detailed instruction?

  • @NielsLP Did you try it out b4 u bought it,or was it an online buy?Only time it won't make any sounds is if you have both osc1and osc2 set to EXT IN.I cant think of anything else besides the other basic stuff, having an incorrect connection to an amplifier.Well, there's the possibility that it's broken,but I hope that's not the case.

  • ive got the r3 and the sh-201. they compliment eachother very well

  • maybe you are just a lousy musician

  • True, most of the sounds being used sound like ones I've heard from VST presets before. I looked it up though because there's an amazing band called Abandon All Ships! that uses this synth.

  • Can this synth do Tom Sawyer sounds?

  • Don't know whay u mean by T. Sawyer sounds.

  • The growl sounds that you hear in the opening and chorus, and the lead sound played in the famous synth solo.

  • 1:22 WAS SO BEAST xD

  • 0.55

    remind me sysiphus by pink floyd.

  • thanks, man. this is really helpful.

  • they should have kept the chorus from the jp-8000

  • meh just use a mini kp or something!

  • So what do you mean ? R u saying that this guy is using Reason to make these sounds ? Or are u saying you can get these sounds in Reason ? Of course u're going to find them in Reason, if this is what u mean.

  • Comment removed

  • You can make nearly any sound in any good synth - thats not the point. If you don't know the point, don't comment on synthesizer videos. Thanks.

  • djomer, base your judgement on your own experience and NOT on what others, who might be complete idiots, tell you. This synth is used by well known artists and bands. Just an example, Madonna and Milk Inc. use this "kids" synth. Besides, this is NOT a $ 3000 synth and nobody claimed it was the best out there.But for $ 500,what are you expecting ? A Prophet or Virus ?

  • Basicly you can make all virtual analog synths to vst....

    But no, you've heard wrong. Glhf finding a vst that is just like the sh 201.

  • djomercohen, I can say from my unfortunate experience that this synth is a huge piece of shit and downloading a vst would be better than buying the sh 201. Now I'm stuck w/ the god damn thing cuz I was the last person to realize that it is the worst synth ever built.

  • that sucks, well i just got a virus ti2 :).

    good luck by getting a normal synth, if you cant afford it than buy something from display at the store, you can get it for half price and in good condition in most cases...

  • Terrorizzzm, why do you say it's a piece of shit?

  • plastic keys, plastic knobs, flimsy boring keys. You also can't get too many sounds out of this thing. Don't get confused like I did, its an analog MODELING synth which makes it merely a computer w/ keys. You can do WAY more w/ a VST. The D Beam is stupid and gimmicky. This board is not worth $600, I found it for $400 but its not even worth that. The arpeggiator is a joke and you can't do anything interesting w/ it. I am a noob and this thing isn't even for beginners, its like a kids toy.

  • What the fuck were you expecting?Ivory keys?This isnt a piano.Almost all synths around $1000 have same key quality if not worse.Plastic knobs!!Maybe u're expecting steel knobs and top quality for $600.Talking about toys,go see a microkorg and see its shitty short keys. "merely a computer with keys".Well hello,all digital keyboards ARE nothing but computers with keys,UNLESS they're real analog.Yeah,this synth doesnt have enough presets.

  • but u can make hundreds of sounds still.Roland released 400 sounds made that way.Yes,it doesnt have sounds that other synths have but thats why there are different synths out there.VSTs almost always are better than cheap synths with their big number of sounds and tweakings.Want a good synth?Then spend a couple grands at least.

  • And the arpeggiator, well, believe it or not the SH has better arpeggs than many other comparable synths.Besides, you can make ur own using the software that comes with it,something other similarily priced synths cant do.

  • synthesizers were and will always be a computer

  • @niteowlsam, don't knock the microkorg. It's a pretty damn legit synth for a small as it is and as low as the price is.

  • @residentevilrulz First, anything the size of a remote control and keys the size of pea shouldn't really be called a synth. Second, people always knock the SH for no damn reason other than being a Roland SH. It's like only Korg can make synths. Maybe if the MK was like $ 100 brand new it would've been worth it. Sure it has a couple of good sounds but you can download a million better sounds for free

  • @ Terrorizzzm,

    Though i think other people have already said this. Almost all keyboard are made of plastic, synths and otherwise. Saw a Yamaha with wooden keys or something, it was weird. Being an amateur with synthesizers can actually make you not understand 1/4 of the true potential of it and cast it aside as junk. They're tricky instruments. It's like saying your first guitar is boring 'cause you can't shred on it on the first day.

  • roland's digital era: kick ass juicy filters, bland oscillation action.. when will they start making more jupiters

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • where is the piano sound came from???i can't find it in my sh 201.....where do you get that?

  • i couldn't either for the longest time. you have to sit and mess with it for a while. my sounds are all on different numbers so i couldn't give you the right sound. just find the sound that sounds like a sitar and change the oscillators, you need two at once. i need to make a tutorial. hahaha.

  • 1:22 sounds sexy

  • nice patches!

    made them all yourself?

  • how do u make the patches.

    im a noob. and thinking bout getting the 201 :S

  • @lkb94 sorry this is late. but: you basically just start with a basic waveform or initial patch, and then work your way down the board tweaking the knobs till you have the sound you want, it just takes a little bit of time to get used to creating your own sounds.

  • 1:15 sounds like Mama - Genesis

  • anyone know how this compares to the jp 8000?

  • Comment removed

  • SICK! how much is that thing worth?!

  • Nearly $600...

  • damn! thats cheap for that beast of a thing i shall have to get one

  • alice spooner from hadouken uses this keyboard

  • what are the sounds at 2:31 and 3:38

  • Comment removed

  • hm,are theses your User patches?

  • will this be good for Italo Disco?

    If you dont what Im talking about search Proxyon-Spacehopper.

    Thanks to who replies.

  • This just is a splendid instrument with a lot of cool options.

    Something that should also be pointed out for the newbies to making their own music - it can function as a USB soundcard with full ASIO and all that. So you dont need a seperate soundcard to get proper recordings, and it also works as a controller for VSTis. So with this, a DAW program like Cubase and download some free VSTi and you got a complete studio really with all the most important functions. It's more awesome than you think!

  • if it had FM you wouldve just sold me

  • @MarctheDarc Hey Marc,how do you think the SH-201 compares to the R3?It seems every body's crazy about the R3 for some reason.I personally wouldn't bother with anything less than 49 keys even if it has the sounds of a Virus.You seem to like the SH a lot and just wanted to see ur opinion on the R3.

  • @niteowlsam Make no mistake, the R3 is a good and solid synth. The Korg MMT sound engine inside it (same as EMX-1, Radias and MK XL), is a work of genious. I prefer the SH-201 though. The interface is much more straightforward - 1 knob 1 function (almost). Where with the R3 you flip through screen-menus. The SH-201 is built to sound close to an analog, and the filter is brilliant, so on raw synth sounds, it's unbeaten. Where the R3 has a bunch of PCM samples like piano and so on, as a strength.

  • @MarctheDarc Thanks for replying.I know u have an SH and I have 1 too but it's always good to see someone talk good of this synth.Some people make it look as if it's the worst synth ever made,UNJUSTIFIABLY I wanna add.Ive come to realize that this synth wasnt made to be like the R3.Its a VA.I didnt really know much about synths before buying mine.I'm in love with its looks and the super saw.

  • and the 49 keys. I'd never buy anthing less than 49.I know the R3 has some really good sounds but I have a couple of really good soft synths and they have more sounds than I can ever need or use, especially for a beginner.And like u said,the SH has a big advantage over many others,and that it has no menus to dig thru.

  • @MarctheDarc I agree... I'm using CC#'s in my DAW to reduce the load on my R3 menu-knob twirling hand. But the SH-201 sounds awesome....

  • @MarctheDarc What? It also acts as an ASIO interface? I knew the new Gaia could do that, but I wasn't so sure about the 201. Since I Just ordered an sh 201 as a studio instrument I now have one more reason to look forward to the delivery date.

  • @dudewhosaysarrh Yeps. Works like a charm. It can also do CD-quality recording from the RCA inputs - just note that the internal soundgenerator and RCA-in doesnt track as seperate inputs in the DAW, so if you do an audio recording of both at the same time, it will be placed in the same track/audiofile.

    You cant really go wrong with the SH-201, although i'm liking quite a few of the new features on the Gaia SH-01 too - just too bad that they didnt include the feedback-osc.

  • @MarctheDarc Hooorray! I received my sh 201 at last. The store I ordered it a couple of weeks ago, didn't have any left it stock, so I bought one off ebay, used but almost in mint condition and 220 bucks below the regular retail price for a new one. I spent nearly all day playing and tweaking sounds -pure bliss.

  • @dudewhosaysarrh Congratulations! Sounds like you made a pretty sweet deal to boot ;-) It just is a sweet synth. If you didnt get a printed manual for some reason, i recommend downloading the PDF from Rolands homepage, the parameter-control section towards the back is pure gold! There's ALOT of extra tweaking features to be found beneath the surface. And tweaking this synth is worth so much!

    Looking forward to seeing some uploads mate ;-)

  • it's not analogue

  • Its the patches the person made/came with it not the synth.

    Much better than Alesis Micron you can make really good sounds with SH201

  • might be a dumb question... but does the SH-201 have oscillators to make your own synths on? or is it all presets to be downloaded and modified?

  • No you can make your own patches with quite a lot of oscillators to choose from.

  • awesome. I'm buying this then

  • I bought mine last week & some of the sounds you can get out of it are sick! £428 is average price.

  • i got mine for £350 go on gak website

  • Ya, it has two oscillators. If I recall correctly, each oscillator has 7 waveforms: triangle, square, (I forgot what it's called, maybe an asymmetrical square?), sine, saw, supersaw, and noise.

  • And fb osc

  • its a 3x oscillator

  • No it's not. Two Oscillators. I'm looking at mine right now.

  • you can layer 2x2 osc´s so there are 4 ;)

    but you are right just 2 osc´s

  • Ahh, I see what you did thar...

  • yeah but you can dual layer them

  • I love the sound at 1:12

  • This is a wicked demo! Showed me everything I wanted to know! You've just saved me from buying the MicroKorg XL! Thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • realmente es un jugete solo eso!

  • Suena Bien pero los sintetizadores Roland ya NO son los de antes, incluso el SH-101 està mejor construido, un vst suena igual o mejor ke èste juguete, yo me lo comprarìa si estuviese mejor construido y tuviera la fuente de alimentaciòn interna como los sintes de antes... es un aparato para ser vendido a 200 dolares no màs.....y es chino!!!!!

  • does enyone knoes if its drums sound on this keyboard?

  • Nope. It's a purely analog-style synth, so no samples.

  • This is a badddass synth, i HIGHLY recommend it. I've had mine for a while, but recently bought a MiniMoog Voyager. I still use this for pads, as it is polyphonic. If you play around with it you can get it to sound pretty analog and phat.

  • how did u make the first patch? i'm getting mine in a week

  • me too.

    So, did you get it? What do you like it..

  • plz mate tutorial for 2:40 , and personal message me when ur done and if u do it :) thanks

  • NICE! Started off playing "Something inside so strong." beautiful song!

  • I really love it...

  • Parece un juguete pero con un gran sonido.

  • im buying one now i cant wait to have this great sound added to my band :D

  • whats the song at 125???

  • oops. I meant 0:45 but the sound at 0:41 is cool too.

  • The crystal wind sound at 0:41 is great.

  • waht things do u need to hook up 4 the synth?

  • very nice demonstration man, I just purchased one of these as my first synth and its nice and easy to learn on, I'm just struggling to get sounds like you have there...and they way you play is very good

  • You can down load most any sound path from your computer into your 201, it's set up for that kind of thing. Read up on it more through your users manual.

  • will those patches play when its not plugged in?

  • boiola!!!!

  • CHLOPIE NAUCZ SIE NAJPIERW GRAC

  • Nice demo. Interesting electric piano sound at the beginning.

  • If you are a guy, cut your finger nails god damnit!

  • 1:25 is so cool

  • what's the max number of OSC's on this?

  • it has 2 osc knob things but I believe you can layer up to 4.

  • Thanks :)

  • oh shit ladies calm down damn, you have i think over 20 different user banks so you can make alot of custom sounds, i played it, its so easy, i love this thing

  • Hey fuck you TeachBhride it was just a question. I just got mine today and I am still trying to make that laser sound at 1:51.

  • if you dont know shit about synthesisers dont post comments !!

  • How many sounds can u make with this, like on your own?

  • The word "SYNTHESIZER" printed on the front panel of the sh201 kind of gives you a clue ?!

  • Um now that I have one i guess its safe to say that it can only make around 900 unique sounds you fucking retard.

  • Did i hear some FM going on? Can you control FM amount with envelopes & do a DX type thing?

  • I Can't wait to get mine! :D

    Although i have to wait until i'm old enough to get a job, or wait till xmas xD

    But cool video! :D

  • i love mine. nice video

  • doesnt hold a candle to the sh101

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • thanks..i was curious to see what kind of sounds this thing had.

  • yamaha those are all presets

  • I want to know if it has a touch sensitive and after touch and if it has one, can you turn it off ??

    Thanks

  • yes and yes

  • how to create the first sound you play?

  • have look on my video and tell me if it's worth to buy this roland as additional instrument to my music ...

  • nice work, i get mine in two weeks!
