Roland SH-4d Review // A Synth Groovebox with Vintage Vibes

My review of the @rolandglobal Synthesizer SH-4d including sound comparisons with the vintage Juno 106 and the SH101. The SH-4d is the latest synth from Roland, and includes a 5 track sequencer, including 4 synth parts and a rhythm track.

The big USP here is the interchangeable oscillator models. We have 11 types including the SH-101 and Juno 106 plus loads of analog modelled waveforms, PCM, wavetable, ring mod, cross FM and one where you can draw your own waveform. VERY COOL.

The interface has a distinctly vintage feel... the synth engines aren't over complicated, with easy hands on editing of the main parameters, and a very intuitive approach to digging into the details keeping menu diving to a minimum.

A groovebox for the synthesist!
