I have an SH4d and I find it to be an excellent synth module. The groove box aspect needs a few firmware updates but is ok. I’ve been a Roland fan boy since using Juno 60s etc when they were new. This reminds me of a less colourful JD800 in some ways. Mine is definitely staying, MC101 is going as it was much harder to understand. Each to their own I guess.

Exactly why I use release day reviews to get a handle on features and UI and later ones like this to get a handle on actual use in its music making potential. Let’s face it even Loopop couldn’t hide his lack of enthusiasm about this box that sullies the name of such classics as the SH-2. I’m expecting the Gaia-2 to be on your show almost as fast! Another hobbled Zencore engine with no wavetable/sample import, and only two EG’s. Roland you need a new market research team. Another outstanding video. Your work ethic is amazing.

I was waiting for this episode, and I knew the Sh4D was going to get roasted. It's a good job the case is black, because any other colour would be charred black after this going over by 'your man Florian' who can smell weakness in an audio tool from 300m and will exploit it without mercy. But here come some paradoxes. Paradox 1 is the killer jams he gets out of it here, with some cone destroying bass tones and genuinlely interesting techno shenanigans. Paradox 2 is that I own one, and despite agreeing with all of its faults here (and some extras you didn't even mention such as when you motion record on any filter setting and then go to the tweak the filter later and get an almighty mess), I use mine loads. It's a wannabe groovebox which does not make the grade, it's a wannabee tone box which does not make the grade, it was thrown together on two rainy afternoons in Roland HQ using the sweepings from the floor of all the other synths they were doing, but I'm keeping mine because it does a job!

@@minimal3734 depends on what type of music you want to make gear choices differ, yes this is not a deep synth but if you check house and techno tracks this has got every sound in it straight to the point and you can tweak it how ever you want. So its a synth that will take you fast if you know where you want to head at. Unless you want to go experimental or want to make evolving ambient sounds yes then you will need other synths which has got so many lfos, oscillators,muators etc. With my repect I think Roland made a good entry and intermediate level multitimbral synth. 😇😇🏄‍♂️💥

So yesterday, with hard earned cash burning a hole in my wallet and a need to release some G.A.S. I ventured out intent on buying the Hydrasynth desktop (space dictates), after an hour noodling on the ASM I felt zero love for it all (contrary to what all the synth reviewers are saying about it), so I turned my attention to a neglected and overlooked SH-4d nearby, after twenty minutes with it I parted with my cash and left the shop grinning like a goon. Spent the whole day with it and couldn't be happier. Moral of the story, 'only your ears and fingers can relieve your G.A.S.'

Well covered . So many synth reviewers went gaga over this , and it seemed too good to be true . Your honest take on the gear is moist appreciated . Hybrid zencore hardware that can't use zencore samples is a double whamny for a dawless guy , looking for a groovebox with sample record (not import). Why doesnt anyone make a TE PO-33KO with more memory , a powersupply, midi in, great polyphony and cv out ? Oh. Wait . I think Uli is working on one .
