Roland SH-4d | A Desktop Powerhouse

[@rootofgreatness.]

Carefully explained, thank you Oliver. SH-4d deserves a place in any production studio. It is that spice you need to spice things up or that place you visit so you can spark an idea and get back to your creative bubble. As we give it time and appreciate its capabilities, we will reap huge benefits.

This is the most professional video I've seen on the SH-4d. I've had mine for a little over a month now and love it. I wish you all the success in the world for your channel Oliver. I hope you do more videos on this showing how to get the most out of it.

Yeah, so professional it comes off as marketing copy. 🙄

Good review

[@twiglet2214]

Great review,thanks Oliver i think i can find a space in my studio for this !

An excellent machine... made even better now that I sequence it externally from the Korg Electribe ES2. Why would I want to externally sequence the Roland SH-4d from the Electribe you might (not) be asking? Well, because the Electribe has a song-mode and can externally sequence up to 16 devices. So now I can pattern-chain my SH-4d via the Electribe! While I don't really do tutorials, I'm sure watching several of my videos might actually be of some help to at least showcase what can be done by syncing multiple synths and grooveboxes via midi... and maybe some of you will dig the jams.

Very nice overview

[@333_Tarot]

Not a single bad sound from Roland. Were some updates promised?

[@JonManness]

The SH-4d is the shit and its effects can sweeten anything you create on it. Let’s hope Roland continues to update it!

[@Necrobot777]

Song-Mode would be nice.. though I now sequence it externally from my Korg Electribe ES2 because the ES2 has a song-mode. I have to stop using shimmer-reverb. It's becoming a crutch! Cheers from the land of Delco!

Excellent vid 👌

[@edoardomazzeo93]

best review, perfect scheme about the futures like oscillator section. continue in this way

"The PCM model offers a vast selection of sample-based sounds". There's 53. By comparison I believe there are hundreds (4 banks of 128? 256? of PCM partials) on the MC-101 and MC-707.

[@Necrobot777]

I was eyeing up the MC-707 but was scared off due to the menues and overwhelming number of options/samples. I hope my videos prove that at least I don't need 12000 PCM samples to make mental fucking jams. However, I do need to be able to have my own samples. Just not banks and banks of them. I think you will agree that I have made excellent use of the Korg Drumlogue's whopping 32mb of storage... one or two of the 53 PCM samples from the SH-4d (I mostly just build my own synths and prefer the lack of menu-diving), and the Polyend Play for all 'dialogue-based-samples'. Full disclosure: my wife stole my MPC and started using that. So now, because we are using the MPC, I guess I can't claim to be DAWless anymore. But before that, every finished track was DAWless... and only created using the Drumlogue, SH-4d, Polyend Play, and occasionally a Behringer Edge, Korg Electribe and Volca Sample2. It is possible!! Though the Drumlogue was not intuitive for the first few weeks. Now, I would not trade it for the world! We just gotta start doing some shows. Anyhoo... Cheers from the land of Delco!

[@Geekraver]

I was mostly just trying to point out (obviously not successfully) that this video is full of hyperbole. It’s more hyperbolic than Roland’s own marketing material.

[@ennayanne]

​​@@Geekraveryeah this guy sounds like a Roland advert "it's not just an instrument, it's a gateway to endless sonic exploration" script was either written by someone in marketing or he's never seen a synthesizer before

I have one is a Beast !!!!

👍i LoVe ! 💙⚪❤

[@mrwylan]

Why don't you talk about the limitations of this device? - Menu diving ... - Missing song mode ... - No touch sensitiv keys - Storing a pattern and sounds is solved independent ... altering a sound will brake existing patterns - D-Motion - when will you ever have your hands free to move your synth? - Do not expect any feature update from the manufacturer But the Synth is still a part of my setup! I enjoy the sounds I can design so straight forward.

Are you trying to get a job at one of the keyboard manufacturers? These videos come off like ads.

[@7177YT]

11 minute ad with extra bland corporate prose. :(
