Authentic And Polyphonic
The SH101 was one of the most icon synthesizers of all time, so why not have on with the capabilities of modern technology added to it. The SH-01A is a miniature recreation down to circuit level of the original synth but has become polyphonic boosting its original monophonic capability to 4 voice polyphony. The original sound remains but with the added boost of more notes the sound only gets better!
On top of the classic Mono mode, you can stack the four voices in Unison mode to add some punch to your bass and lead lines. Chord mode layers any four notes, and can be shifted up and down in semi-tone intervals. Poly mode allows for four notes to be played simultaneously, making the famous monosynth now capable of pads and chords.
Pattern Sequencer
The SH-01A offers an extended sequencer capability. the original limitation of the SH101 playing one sequence back at a time has been resolved with the SH-01A. Now you can save and access 64 sequence patterns, perfect for any performance situation. Recall any pattern at any time, and use the iconic sequencer to control your modular rig, hardware synthesizers, and software plugins via CV/Gate, MIDI, and USB. Let the SH-01A be the heart of your electronic instrument setup, on stage or in the studio.
