I’ve been reading the manual and I can’t see a way to reverse a drum sound in the Rhythm part. Does anyone know if there’s a way to do this?

Oh that’s a shame. I don’t have mine yet so was hoping it was something I’d missed in the manual. Hopefully they’ll add this in a future firmware update.

I stand corrected! I just experimented more and some of the sounds (but not all) do go into reverse when Layer 1/2 Course Tune is set from +24 to +48.

That’s awesome, thanks for rechecking this! I’m always using reverse cymbals in my beats before a drop etc. so glad you can do this! Can’t wait to get my SH-4d!!

Looks like Roland have updated Zenology to v2.0. It doesn’t look like the synth engine has been upgraded (it’s still the same Zencore synth engine under the hood) so this is just a UI refresh and some additional presets. It does look like it might be a bit easier to navigate. I also noticed they updated Roland Cloud a few days back, might be time to take another look.

This looks like an interesting combination. I see the firmware has been updated recently. I wasn’t really interested before but the new features in update 3 have got me wanting to try one. Is anyone using one in their dawless setup? How are you using it? Do you use the DJ mode or is it just a gimmick?

It looks like fun, but seems far too expensive for what it is so I wouldn’t back it myself.

How much will it be? I don’t see any info on price.

EZBOT on what he believes is the ultimate Elektron performance setup. I personally couldn’t handle that many Elektron boxes at once! 😅

I think he mainly uses the Octatrack as a live looper and effects box, but yeah, any more than two Elektron boxes I find too much to manage especially in a live situation.

The new Perkins HD-01 sounds amazing and looks like it’s knob per function and built like a tank, which is perfect for jamming and live perfomance. Anyone thinking of buying one?

Looks and sounds great, but a bit pricey for me!

Looks like it plays nice with the Elektrons

![Profile picture of eatsleepsynthrepeat]()
Yeah, looks massive though next to Digi’s

Sounds good! Loving the industrial vibe. I can see this being great for live performance, more direct control and less menu diving than the Elektrons. The delay sounds really good too. Does anyone know if it has automation or parameter locking?
-

Yes it has parameter locks

I would look that happy too if I had just been sent a Perkons HD-01 for free! 😂

I know there aren’t many people with the Sh-4d yet, but I wondered if anyone who has it already has tried sending or receiving program change messages (PCM’s) with other gear?
I can’t seem to get it to change patterns at the same time with most of my other gear. I’ve tested it with the UNO Synth Pro, Digitakt and Syntakt so far but it always changes one bar late. It seems to work well with the Roland T-8 though and both change patterns together in perfect sync, but I guess that’s because they are both made by the same manufacturer. Has anyone else had any success?

The Elektrons don’t seem to send the PC message until the pattern has actually changed, which means which ever machine is receiving the message still needs to cue up the next pattern resulting in it changing pattern one bar later.

This makes sense, but then why does my UNO Synth Pro change in perfect sync with the Digitakt but not the SH-4d? Wouldn’t this indicate that it’s a Roland issue?
-
![Profile picture of eatsleepsynthrepeat]()
It’s probably because the Uno synth is changing to a new patch and not a pattern (sequences are saved with each patch) so it changes immediately. Whereas the SH-4d is a pattern-based machine so it needs to cue the next pattern after receiving the message.

Can the Roland SH-4d sound like a TB-303?

Obviously not going to sound identical not being a clone, but it sounds pretty good and has the right vibe 😎

I’ve preordered, can’t wait to try it but it’s not coming until May! How did you get yours so quickly?
-
![Profile picture of Alex]()
I was just really lucky I guess. I saw a store that had one in stock just a couple of days after it was announced and quickly placed my order. It came the next day!

I took a look at this for you and unfortunately I can’t find a way to reverse drum hits on the SH-4d. I know you can do it on the MC-101 and MC-707 by increasing the key offset to +24 but there’s no way to do this on the SH-4d. I tried increasing the pitch to maximum but it doesn’t reverse the sample. I thought that maybe there would be some reversed drums in the Rhythm PCMs but I checked and there isn’t.
