    I love how they put a second filter in there just for the riser feature 😁 It's a total no-brainer. Best compact synth release so far this year. Mine arrived 2 weeks ago. Can't stop jamming around with it 🔥🎶

    The internal battery actually isn't hard to replace. It's a separate item in the device and uses a reasonably standard connector and capacity. It's very similar to what people put in small robots.

      I have the T-8 and E-4 and am not concerned about the battery. If they fail, I will try to replace. If that doesn't work, it looks like they can still run on AC power.

    The S1, along with the SE-02, are my budget killer-synths from Roland over the past years. No need to spend tons of money on a Juno X or Jupiter X if you can have this much character from a small device. but maybe thats just my opinion…

  • @UrbanGarden-rf5op

    An important finding, if you’re a Logic Pro user.
    Since Roland doesn’t seem to know this (May 2024),
    I will post this through my favourite electronica TH-camrs.
    Having owned the S-1 for about 5 minutes I began thinking about
    how I could integrate it into my UA/Logic Pro set up.
    USB-C connection to the Mac.
    First try resulted in the S-1 taking over completely, no access to UA.
    The Roland “support” site said that it wasn’t possible to use it with multiple audio interfaces!
    Accepting the challenge I created an Aggregate Device in the the Mac’s Audio MIDI set up,
    with the UA as master device.
    Let there be audio!
    The MIDI part was a brain twister though.
    Audio still working fine when I started the S-1’s internal sequencer.
    But no MIDI triggering the S-1.
    Double checking the MIDI setting on the S-1 revealed
    that I had adjusted the chorus, Cho, mistaking the o for a zero.
    The correct parameter is called CH.
    Why it wasn’t already set to channel 1 is anybody’s guess.
    Cool box, lousy support site, as usual.
    Roland, please fix your extremely slow and unhelpful site
    Thank you for sharing a helpful video.

    1. Mix In signal processing. The sognal isn't processed just goes through and is mixed dry (can't use S1 as an effect pedal with guitar or other sound source);
    2. Pan in general settings and/or delay (like ping-pong delay).

      ​@@sonicstateMy current mini rig is now T-8, S-1, and J-6 at it's heart, being processed with a few additional outboard effects, and assisted by an 1010m Blackbox for sampling. BB gives me additional percussion, and everything else. I'm hooked on these little monsters. Really would love to see some more Roland synths re-created in this great miniature AIRA ACB form! All of mine have Roland color-coded Thonk slim caps. They feel so much nicer than stock, and look fantastic for cheap! Everything that's not color-coded, I did in the medium gray caps. I think there is a picture of mine all capped, and in a row, on my channel.

  • @EnochDark
    @EnochDark ปีที่แล้ว

    As a long time fan of SH, sure I want one but as others have questioned, should I sell my SH-01a that cost 2x? My original thinking was to pass over the new Roland "Volcas" that I already have covered with other Aira or Boutique gear i.e. TR-8, TR-08, VT-3 and again the SH-01a...
    This line of thought lead me to purchasing only the J6 since I somehow skipped over the others.
    Running into the same dilemma when considering the SH-4d when I think about the fact that I've basically got everything in it, just in multiple boxes. Also that I've already got an Elektron Syntakt...

      The J6 just doesn’t have enough knobs to make it more tweakable. It would have to have a lot of menu diving and extra shift functions.

    the reason sh101 is great is because of it's form factor and playability, sure cool it's great about the 4 voice poly and other new stuff, but you're missing the point of the original synth with this miniature bs. Here comes the barrage of hate comments:

      Totally agree! I thought the boutiques were too small already. I like their sound. But the form factor and the cheap polyphony are deal breakers for me sadly.

      fair point. I ordered a S1 but changed my mind and returned it . Got a SH-01A instead (which I actually owned previously and sold about two years ago). Couple of reasons: SH-01A is more sexy to look at. More hands on control, tho still small, less menu-diving. More true to the OG 101 in terms of the range of sounds, which for me is a good thing.

    Disappointing it's only 4 voice polyphonic (should be at least 6). Also disappointing that there's no modulation matrix nor way to link the many control parameters to an LFO. Other than that, seems pretty good.
