Thanks for sharing this. I got a used Roland SH-4D and agree with you that the core sound engines and functions. I ran across mainly complaints of the sequencer and the save function not having a global save. But these issues have not been a problem for me with other synths, I just need a very basic sequencer to do some arpeggios, and like to mix and match with different parts being saved.
I liked it a lot, it's quite versatile, a real all in one box with familiar sounds and new capabilities. The workflow is pleasant, I didn't find it too much menu diving! Knobs are not the best and feels a little bit cramped, but sound wise I really enjoyed it. Too bad Roland hasn't updated it this machine in a while, but it works great! Cheers!
i bought one when it came out. its been really cool but is stale as hell with no updates in a year and a half. i really like sending midi/audio/power over one cable.
Yeah... I've used it a bit more, it's cool and "easy / fun" to dial in. But it feels a bit like vaporware from Roland side, which is a shame, cause this machine has real potential. It is what it is :D doesn't make it a bad product, but it's a pity! Cheers and thanks for watching!
Depends... It really depends on you and how comfortable are you gain staging and afterward mix. The easiest form to work afterwards I would separate rhytm from rest. I for example nowadays always work with everything in a 2buss (master) file. and then mix it and process it. 5 years ago I wouldn't even dare to do it this way, nowadays I embrace it even more just recording the full mix in one stereo stem. Nothing like trying and seeing what you can do with both ;) Thanks for watching!

Yeah :D I like the SH-4D. This one was a loan... since then I kept thinking about it ahah. I have to get one second hand good deal ;)
Thx a lot for all the tips !!
You're welcome!
Hi😉 What is the name of the instrument that you have under Roland?
Hi! That is the @oxiinstruments OXI One sequencer, which I use to sequene everything in my studio! Thanks for watching!
@@AThousandDetails Thank you very much👍☺️
I'm going to buy this Roland sh-4d synthesizer. Is it a good synthesizer? Is it worth buying? ☺️

excellent stuff. can I ask how you would advise recording the rhythm parts? onto one track in the DAW or separate tracks?
