You can save the scene in the synth's itself

@@malvinusmusic thanks for the reply. I tried it before but I must’ve done something. I’ll figure it out. Thank you sir.

@@earthhuman5448 how do you know It?

@@Xanaduum never tried so far but I think it's possible, I wanna try ASAP, thank you!

Yeah It reminds the 80s, you're right, and yes, SH-4d Is worth the price

Thank you, I agree!

The presets are very nice, and the ability to have four synth tracks plus rhythm is useful. I can live using it as a sound bank with an external sequencer, as it is aimed to, but I hope Roland will eventually release and update. Thanks for coming, cheers!

I know for sure that Roland is watching my videos, but I am not in touch with someone at Roland. I do believe they'll do what better matches their goals, unfortunately I don't know what they are...

I agree, the video was meant for those who have a Reface and want to use it as a controller. If you're in the market for a controller, there are definetly Better options at a better price. Thanks for coming, always a pleasure!

Sorry I don't own the Jupiter X, so I can't tell you about it. Maybe in the future I Will test the Jupiter X, who know? Thanks for tuning in!

Hey Mate, Arturia is my go-to keyboard when it comes to play synths on my desktop. Akai has nice key-action as well, but I can't tell you which one tò buy, it's all about your preferences. Anyway, I use Arturia solely for the keys, I don't like/use It for the other features like arp or seq. Hope that helps, cheers!

@@malvinusmusic Grazie mille. It is just for desktop use on the SH-4d with maybe another purpose later on. Mini keys can be fine it is just a bit of getting used to. Becomming a desktop man 😅

What do you mean?

@@malvinusmusic Sorry! was tired and clearly wasn't clear enough. You know how some sounds have drums that play when you play. is there a way to make your own?

@@ManOfJupiterMusic yes, watch the video where I show how. Check also: th-cam.com/video/6iJZP34WHBE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ohJOCby5D4rasQFo

You can change only user sounds, not the factory sounds. More videos about it coming soon, thank you for stopping by!

@@malvinusmusic Its incompatible with Logic Pro 11 & the one before it. I guess no refund. Can provide screen shot if need be. I'm using a Mac Mini M2 from 2023. Guesing no refund - will have to talk to my bank which is so frustrating.

Thank you for stopping by!

You are right, I often say SH-4D is not a groove box as well. I also made videos on controlling SH from external sequencer. But since it has groove box functions, why not have better ones? Thanks for your comment, really appreciated!

As you can see at 4:03, put some trigs (in the video I put them on 1, 5, 9 and 13) then go in the pattern edit menu (shift+pattern) and scroll to the play mode item where you (I go by heart, don't have the machine in front of me) can have forward, reverse, etc., select RANDOM and listen to the result. Thanks for stopping by!

@@malvinusmusic Thank you very much for your quick feedback.,Understood ! I'll try this soon. I thought that, as on other machines, it was possible to add random notes directly. . Thanks again for your videos which are a treasure trove to help us discover this machine.

@@gordtanner8332 It would be great as well!

It's a controversial issue. Some people ask for it, others wouldn't know what to do with it. But if there was, it would still be a useful thing, at least for some. Thanks for sharing!

A third-party editor/librarian would be great, but as far as I know there isn't one at the moment. What I'm hoping for isn't necessarily an update from Roland, but at least a formal response to these requests. Thanks for stopping by!

@@user-jy3io4iz2p thank you Mate, I do love this machine, cheers!

@@malvinusmusic Am actually contemplating selling the TR-8s (CR-78!) and get an SH-4d (new). The TR-8s is great but in retrospect I'd gone for the SH (was not out when I bought the TR-8s). Had the MC-101 but didn't like the interface at all.

@user-jy3io4iz2p although I love SH-4d, TR-8s is a whole other things, I suggest to sleep on it

@@malvinusmusic Sure, I am thinking about it and looking at current used prices for thr TR-8s is what got me here 😅 Wish the MC-101 had the interface of the SH-4d. The real step back would be losing the CR-78, combined with 808 and 707 my favorites. What I do before even putting up for sale is use the item a bit and see if it I can live with it or let go. Bought the TR-8s few years ago when it was €579 so that makes it a little easier but that CR-78 🥲

An update... The SH-4d I want but keep the TR-8s at first and see how that works out. Thanks for the advice to have a sleep over it 🤠 You seem to be a more sensible than impulsive person. Saw you're from Italy (been to Ventimiglia, Como and Milano) and want to visit Toscane 😎 Grazie mille from Paesi Bassi 😃

@@ranzee I collected the wishes of the network, let's hope Roland listens to us this time, thanks!

@@osands absolutely, PCM sounds are too few! Thank you!

@@wendelynmusic I understand you very well 💚

Afaik the octave Is saved with the patch... Let me know if it works!

nah trig conditions are also a must.

@@suffpapst thank you for your comment!

@@osands It the CPU is aready exhausted I don't need it. Buy an Elektron ;).

@@malvinusmusic 128 steps, pattern chain or better arranger, count in, metronome, tones with pattern save which is currently a nightmare with all that time waste and accidental overwrite, and CPU optimizations! But I do get sometimes phenomenal sounds and grooves. Using only part 5 (drums) can get you outstading drum loops. It's a great addition already. But I use that material and continue in a DAW of course.

@@suffpapst all good points! I agree that SH-4d is a great sounding synthesizer, but I do believe it would become top notch in its price range after these updates! Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely, It is a synth after all, I would like more sounds as well! Thanks for your comment!

@@SonicVibe thanks for sharing!

@@SonicWalkerMix third party editor/librarian would be also great!

@@JonManness yes!

Agreed 👍

@@agh8459 I'd love if SH-4d was class-compliant!

If Roland tells us what can and can't be done, we'd be happy. I mean, if there are hardware or cost limitations, we ask Roland to tell us. I think Roland will eventually answer to the community, it owes them. Thanks for your detailed comment!

@@antikytheramechanism7909 I think they will know much we care from the likes and commenta this video will get and eventually they will have lo listen 💚

Sure!

@@DecibelDisorder thanks for stopping by!

@@inductor5479 in Italy we say: hope is the last to die... Yeah other filter models would be great!

You're right, it's time to take action and officially ask Roland for the upgrade that all of us SH-4d users deserve. I'll make a formal video very soon to forward to Roland HQ. Thanks for your request!

Es un juguete realmente bonito, ¡gracias a ti!

@@unclerm thank you Mate!

@@sykromsmile6303 thanks, very appreciated!

@@markfennah4322 anytime Mate! Thanks for sharing!

I took advantage of a very convenient offer, it was a bargain, but yes, Iridium is quite expensive. Thanks for stopping by!!

Thank you Mate!

Thanks!

@@malvinusmusic how ya liking the digitakt 2 ?

@SonicVibe I like the 128 steps, the sampling features are now better and make me want to sample more than with the OG Digitakt. I like the improved memory space and the use of kits as well. All in all I kinda like it, even if I am more a Syntakt guy (at the end of the day I like tweaking more than sampling)

@@malvinusmusic yeah syntakt seems like a great machine especially for the extra midi channels

@@SonicVibe Digitakt II has 16 tracks that can be either Audio or MIDI

@@lyh1 that’s where Oxi One comes in handy ;-)

Absolutely, you can use any sequencer depending on your needs, thanks for stopping by!

@Digiphex as far as I remember yes it will, but check it out because I no longer own the Juno X and I can’t check by myself

@@harleycoltman2759 MPC is a nice choice as well!

@@leolansbergen7013 yes, a MIDI controller with scales facilities makes your life easier. Thank you for your kind comment!

Good question... It depends on what you need in the first place. If you need poliphony I would go with SH-4d. If you are more a performer guy, I would go for the Syntakt. Thanks for having me!

@@fillmac7320 Gracias!
