Hello all, I have an issue with my new sh-4d that I’m curious whether it’s an unique issue to my particular device or is common to others…
If I power my device to a powered USB computer hub or direct to the computer in any combination I can hear a grounding hum – the only option I’ve found that I can get the hum to disappear is to power the sh-4d with batteries or a USB power bank… which is fine, but when I’m working with the sh-4d in the studio, it would be better to power it with a constant electrical source which I have not figured out how to do without the hum which shows up…Read More4 Comments-
Yes it’s a common problem when powering synths from the PC USB port. I have experienced it with my Roland SH-4d and T-8, and the Uno Synth Pro. As @kpatzsc said, it’s best to power separately if you can. I’ve also seen people recommend using a USB isolator so maybe worth having a look at something like this… https://hifimediy.com/product/usb-isolator/

Polyend have released the Tracker Mini. Looks cute. No pads or jog wheel, but has more sample RAM and bigger CPU, and can handle stereo samples. I’m interested but it’s $700 (same price as the desktop version) which honestly seems a bit pricey to me.

He didn’t actually seem to be all that impressed with the Tracker Mini, but nice to have some more demos finally. Seems like it’s been a long wait on this one. I do agree with what he says about the filter. I don’t know what it is about the Tracker but I never think it sounds that good when used with my other gear.

You need to update the group name with the S-1 Tweak Synth 😉

Any opinions on the Roland S-1 Tweak Synth if I already own an SH-01A? Anyone own both? Which do you prefer?

UNO Synth Pro X has been announced!
Paraphonic digitally controlled analog synth with 3 variable waveshape oscillators, 2 analog filters (with 2/4 pole, LP/HP), 2 LFOs, 3 envelopes, Modulation Matrix (16 slots), 3 effects slots with choice of 10 effects (5 delays, 2 modulation FX, 3 reverbs), 64 step sequencer, and an arpeggiator. 256 available preset slots.
Loads of videos on YouTube from all the usual channels, but thought this one showed the sound off particularly well.

Isn’t pretty much the same synth engine as the UNO Synth Pro but double the price? More knobs but still shared controls for the oscillators, envelopes and LFOs so not sure what you’re really gaining.

Agreed. I just watched the official IK Multimedia video and it’s basically the same synth with a different skin. There are some improvements though, like AC power and USB-C but nothing that would justified more than double the price. I reckon the price will come down though in a few months.

Strangely I’d not heard of the Oxi One before, but this video has got me interested. I struggle to use several Elektron sequencers at the same time so this could be the answer.

I’ve ordered one, should be here before end of the week. I think it will be a good match for the SH-4d, or maybe the Digitakt and a few boutiques 🙂

Received my Oxi One sequencer yesterday, just testing things out using the Roland T-8 (connected via USB-C). Works well so far, lots of button combos to learn though! Big thanks to Liam Killen for his original video.

This is a common issue on many of Roland’s USB powered synths. AFAIK, you could try a USB isolator cable, or use a separate USB power supply like a phone charger to power the SH-4d, and use DIN MIDI instead of USB.
