| Description |
RARE ROLAND SH-5 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER
The SH-5 is a very advanced and classic monophonic synthesizer rivalled mainly by its successor, the SH-7.
The SH-5 has just about two of everything. There are two analog VCOs with triangle, ramp, square and pulse waveforms. The VCOs can be modulated by the LFOs or the ADSR envelope gen. There are also white and pink noise generators. The two LFOs include controls for rate, ramp, reverse ramp, triangle, sine, square, delay, and a Sample+Hold feature. The two VCFs include a multi-mode hi-pass, low-pass, band-pass filter with cutoff, resonance, keybd, env sensitivity (AR, ADSR or preset) and modulation (ramp, sine, square, s+h) and a second band-pass filter. The two VCAs are AR and ADSR envelopes which can be triggered by the sample+hold, LFO #2 or an external audio trigger input.
Extra features include the standard SH-type Mixer section with 5 sliders to adjust noise, VCO1, VCO2,
ring mod and an external signal. Each of these 5 signals can be individually sent through the VCA, the
low-pass filter, the band-pass filter or both. The SH-5 even has stereo output with panning controls in the
VCA section and portamento! The Ring Modulator alone is enough to wet your appetite for this synth. A
serious analog mono-synth with lots of flexibility for creating serious electronic and dance music.
