Roland has released numerous legendary synthesizers in the past. The newest member of the line, the SH-201, combines Roland’s state-of-the-art technology with an incredibly easy user-interface. This guidebook will give you many tips for creating classic synthesizer sounds on the SH-201.
A typical synthesizer will have a signal flow-chart similar to the one pictured below. To start, let’s understand the fundamentals. Oscillator ( ➝ P. 9 ) OSC This is the basis of the sound, where the waveform and pitch are selected. It is indeed the heart and soul of a synthesizer .
You can start playing the SH-201 as soon as you turn on the power. Go ahead and play the keyboard while adjusting the volume with the [MASTER VOL] knob. SH-201 allows you to store the timbres (sounds) you have created. These stored timbres are called patches.
The OSC determines the waveform and pitch, which becomes the source of the sound. This is the heart and soul of a synthesizer. On analog synthesizers, it is called the VCO (*1) . The VCO is a sound generator capable of changing frequency through changes in voltage.
The sound signal generated from the OSC is processed through the filter, which can emphasize and reject a selected frequency range. The filter can affect and change the sound’s brightness, boldness, and more.
The sound signal generated in OSC and processed through the FILTER is amplified here. The AMP also controls the attack and decay of sounds. Press this button AD R S When the key is struck, the hammer pounds on the sound source (string) and the vibration of the string reaches a peak immediately.
This is a sound generator capable of producing low frequencies. On analog synthesizers, it is also called LFO (*1) . To understand the LFO effect, let’ s select the basic patch [PRESET D-8] once again. Vibration of Frequency (OSC) Vibration of Timbre/Sound Vibration of Volume (AMP) Vibrato (voice, violin, etc.
The newest feature of the SH-201 is the EXT IN (*1) , which is a major evolution from prior analog synthesizers. When devices such as portable digital music players are connected to the SH-201, various effects can be added to the music being played.
Choose “PRESET D-8” . The sawtooth wave is selected. Since bass involves low frequencies, turn the [PITCH] knob on the OSC section all the way to left, and set to (-12). Now the sound is lowered by 1 octave. T urn the [CUTOFF] knob on the FIL TER section all the way left and set to (MIN).
Choose “PRESET D-8” . The sawtooth wave is selected. Press the [WA VE] button of the OSC1 section and select the SUPER SAW . T urn the [PW/FEEDBACK] knob of the OSC1 section to the “one o’clock” position. T urn the [CUTOFF] knob in the FIL TER section all the way left to (MIN).
W e’ve just talked about the brightness of sounds, and how they are determined by the shape of their waveforms. But how are these waveforms constructed? It is commonly known that waveforms are composed of a combination of sine waves.
