Mathew Jonson Presents His Synthesizer Favourites: Roland SH-5 (Electronic Beats TV)

[@AlexBallMusic]

Always enjoy Mathew's demos. Just very natural and informative. Don't own an SH-5 but have recorded with one and it was a lot of fun.

[@AlexBallMusic]

... actually by coincidence got to borrow an SH-5 a few days after this comment. Tried out Matt's LFO 2 trigger trick. :)

[@matthewy393]

Mathew Jonson always comes up with the best sequences when demoing synths

[@CommissionerManu]

Hell yeah, I keep coming back to this demo to listen to that sweet sequence morphing through all those amazing sound variations. I want a whole song based on this sequence!

[@kadenelisha4175]

I guess it's kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

[@sub-jec-tiv]

This. So many channels, if they program anything they just program in like, a major scale or something. Which is so unhelpful.

[@RaffRobinson]

That square at 2.44 and PWM, gowd it’s like a punch and caress in your face at the same time 🥹

[@troyjlandry]

I could watch him all day!

[@electricpineapplemusic7125]

im lucky enough to have one of these

[@PostQuantumWorld]

Many thanks - amazed by the super rich tb-303 sounds. Best video I have found on the sh-5.

[@stevieh7322]

Lovely to see & hear you work the SH5 to bring out its best, Mathew! I had 3 of these back when they were around ('77 to 82-ish): two were linked together to make a single monster and they were really something. The only thing that I was disappointed in was the oscillators: they were rather invertebrate, particularly at the bass end. The minimoog proved it. But the pulse width, ring mod and all the switchable combinations of the SH5 were incomparable. Thank you for showing it off!

[@Niele160]

Man this synth really wows me. That sound is absolutely impeccable.

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

This is definitely one of the better quality introductions of the SH-05, very informative and with very good sound examples, good work.

[@ChromosomeSyndicate]

One of the best ? I think just the other way 😢

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

@ChromosomeSyndicate I didn't even know that "one of the better ones" had already risen to the rank of "the best".

[@diegobelinque1347]

Thank you Behringer

[@twangya]

One of my favourite synths xxx

[@Kkidzz]

The early Roland’s are killer percussion sequence machines: Random S&H LFO noise source with their ultra tight and fast envelopes....f’ing heaven.

[@ElectronicazMusic]

Wonderful! Bleeptastic absurdity and beautiful tones.

[@frasersimpson3914]

this sequence is so enjoyable to listen to for the duration of the video. thanks mat!

[@macros303]

This synth sounds insanely phatt!

[@spazkong]

Sounds really really nice. Even to my limited hearing capabilities

[@leozebiosthor6242]

Definitely my favorite reviewer on youtube! #Legend

[@chimonlam7537]

beast of a synth!

[@LouisSerieusement]

I sincerely love all your content but so far those series are my favourites

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

We are just nice guys who love gear and music 😚

[@gbrl_cyber]

Super dope sequence!

[@dep1001]

Another great vid! Love this series!

[@sounds5383]

Incredible synth.

[@OmarBonifacino]

Very great sound

[@autoy]

That ringing square sound from the SH era is something else entirely. Can't really be done with other synths.

[@obey_is_not_my_thing]

i'm pretty sured that everything mathew touched becomes magic and it's just normal af to him and he didn't realize that!

[@_sl3600]

Well, he does _magic through music_ .

[@Autotross]

Wow, this thing sounds amazing, great demo!!

[@georgegeez8708]

Checking this video out to further convince me to buy Behringer's future version of the SH-5. Sounds very good to me.

[@maurettiditroifa9685]

Great content and video production! ❤️

[@MarkCisOfTheLoonieLeft]

Definitely has that sound, can't say I'm a fan, for some reason never liked Roland mono synths from the 1970's but loved the juno 6 and their other 1980's polys though.

[@je7647]

İ had sh1000 İt was v good

[@richreaves1792]

That sequence though....

[@CommissionerManu]

I keep coming back years later, it’s still ssooooo goooooooooood!

[@OmarBonifacino]

Nice friend

[@DeathByDinSync]

my fave sh

[@ringtangting]

The vocal like sounds from this synth are bonkers.

[@DaEVOthefreak]

The MS-5 mine!

[@XPJV]

Synthetic machines does great demo.

[@atommachine]

this is great , i have 101 102 which sounds a bit like it. would love one of these though. good vid.

[@christ5826]

they are so good bro...the system is a lot fatter like huge walls of sound, the SH5 is a bit more of a strange more bizzare array of sounds, I play my buddies system so understand the diffs as I have an SH5

[@alieustiansamateh6401]

Yoda of the synthesizers 🌌

[@OffworldRecords]

The triggered accent effect is dope

[@ianpreece6391]

Eat Static used to have an SH-5 called "the alien" and now I see why!

[@christophertroy5197]

What are you sequencing it with?

[@housebrigade]

Bass station 2 is so underrated

[@SlashnKashmir]

I use SH-100 (VST version) and it is monster.

[@ianrobbins]

What about the ports on the back? Wasn't there one labelled "computer"?

[@delta-9969]

Is the sound at 15:12 just 2 detuned squarewaves?

[@christianloving235]

Is it possible to use the portamento function, when triggering externally? :)

[@mmrva]

Synth is great but sequences are the thing here.

[@techno4ravers967]

has Mr. Jhonson got Marionette from this Synth?

[@OffworldRecords]

That was an SH-101

[@sinikoncar7838]

Now compare this to the shit Roland makes these days...

[@1776adb]

At that rate, a keyboard is just for show.

[@mitsanut5869]

Why am I not excited hearing these things?

[@russ254]

this is a good question. probably lots of us are real cork-sniffing synth addicts, coming here with a love of related synths like system 100m. for us, this is like riding as passenger in a car on a race track with a race car driver next to us.

[@Towly263]

Surprise! No Boutique ;)

[@ismaserrano]

Aaaand... this is a good way to take a brilliant Roland SH5 bassline --> soundcloud.com/ethan-poe/mathew-jonson-synth-favs-roland-sh5. Free download!

[@Samplers]

Nice vid! LPF is 24dB/oct, not 18.

[@AguaMineralNatural]

Y 6db high pass and 24 low pass plus a bandpass

[@edsavage6214]

15:39 that sounds a lot like a 303 !

[@johnnyallenaah]

What’s is he using to sequence the synth??

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

johnny allen he mentions a midi to cv box so maybe a Kenton and a computer.

[@AguaMineralNatural]

Cirklon

[@dubdoodle7191]

Alot of cats 40+ yrs ago with one of these + Revox RTR made serious coin for movie effects, etc. Now it's just a rich kid's noise etcha sketch.

[@ntrsnofficial8328]

Always a big show with high price instruments . if you are good you make music with a playtoy casio . all the rest is snobish

[@wellurban]

Sure, you could snarkily dismiss it out of hand...or you could pay attention to this thorough exploration of a synth with a unique architecture and learn sound design techniques you could creatively apply to more affordable instruments.
