Roland SH-4D Synthesizer
Meet the SH-4d synthesizer, a desktop synthesizer with a hands-on workflow and in-depth synthesis tools for designing the sounds of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Create spontaneous musical moments with 11 OSC patterns, a multitimbral pattern sequencer, extensive effects and plenty of polyphony. And with a packed panel, dynamic controls, motion recording, and more, you can create evolving sounds and compositions as fast as ideas come. Equally at home in the studio, on stage or on the road, the SH-4d is an incredibly versatile synthesizer that unleashes inspiration from the moment you turn it on.
- Eleven OSC models cover everything from vintage analogue and classic PCM tones to cutting-edge digital textures
- OSC models include the new SH-4d native engine, Wavetable, Cross FM, JUNO-106, SH-101 and more
- Four independent synthesizer parts and a dedicated rhythm section with total polyphony of up to 60 voices
- Rhythm section with selectable waveforms, powerful synthesis controls, layering options and more for each instrument's individual sound design
- Fully loaded direct access panel with 32 knobs, four sliders and a huge array of buttons
- Top-level interface workflow reconfigures the LCD display and panel controls for Model or Performance mode to eliminate menu diving and creative slowdowns
- Dedicated filter, amp and LFO sections with comprehensive controls
- Advanced matrix to modulate multiple assignable parameters
- Push-button keyboard with more than two octave range for independent music creation
- Multitimbral sequencer with 128 patterns, real-time recording, two step input modes and motion recording
- Probability and sub-step per note settings for notes and rhythmic parts in patterning sequences
- Unique D-Motion and Visual Arpeggio features for creating performance effects with the SH-4d's physical movement
- Extensive built-in audio processing with MFX for each note plus global MFX, reverb, chorus, delay and more
- USB-C audio/MIDI interface and 5-pin MIDI input/output
- Clock input for synchronization with modular synthesizers and other Roland gear
- Stereo 1/4-inch audio outputs and headphone jack
- 3.5mm stereo audio input for mixing other synthesizers
- Rugged portable design powered by batteries or USB-C
Number of Keys: 26
This instrument has 26 keys, corresponding to 2.5 octaves, offering flexibility and an extended range of tones for various musical applications.
Polyphony: 60
The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.
LFO: Yes
An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.
Envelope: Yes
The Envelope filter gives you precise control over the dynamics and shape of the sound. This filter provides greater flexibility in adjusting and customizing sound characteristics, enhancing the overall quality and expressiveness of the performance.
Oscillators: Yes
A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.
Pitch Bend: Yes
The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.
Modulation: Yes
Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.
Sequencer: Yes
The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.
Arpeggiator: Yes
The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.
