  • In this video, Chris Cline does a deep dive into the Roland SH-4d, a powerful desktop synthesizer module that combines the vintage, analog-style sonics of Roland's classic synthesizers with cutting-edge digital synthesis. With 11 oscillators, multitimbral sequencer, 60-voice polyphony, modulation matrix, Visual Arpeggio, and innovative D-Motion control, the SH-4d offers a vast range of sound design tools for both groovebox players and synthesists. Join us as we explore the features of this instrument and discover the immense scope of possibility it offers for music production.

    So Roland gave us 11 oscillators, a sequencer, polyphony, modulation matrix etc for a price lower than Drumlogue! I know it's not a drum machine but anyway

    I think it sounded very acustic. But maybe because of reverb effect. Anyway it sounds good.💪

      Better yet,make it chainable, that’s just a firmware update! I’d buy another one in a heartbeat! As far as multiport, that’s possible with a mult and a variety of cables. I never understood why Roland, Korg or even third party doesn’t make a stand alone unit to do that! Not everyone has Eurorack!

    Im really trying to like this product but tbh, I find the sound uninspiring. Also Roland have been a little bit disingenuous / cryptic when stating the units maximum polyphony/voice count.
    If you have a three Osc Synth, holding down a single note on most units will qualify as one voice… but not with this. Each Oscillator is considered to be voice so if you use the 4 Osc Machine and hold down a 3 note chord, that’s 12 voices gone.
    Roland can keep it.
