SH-4d Tip: The FAT parameter doesn’t seem to be available directly for the Sync and Ring models, but strangely you can still choose it as a modulation source in the matrix. Can be useful for fattening up the sound as these models don’t have additional oscillators to be used as a Sub.

Here’s a demo of the wavetables in the Roland SH-4d. At the end I play one through the shimmer

Anyone thinking about getting the new Roland SH-4d? It looks pretty good, better than the MC-707 is some ways (more immediate, more direct access to parameters, less menus).

I’ve been eyeing this one to replace (or supplement?) my JD-Xi. I really like the SH-101 and Juno-106 models in videos I’ve seen. There’s plenty of effects, a more powerful sequencer than the Xi, it runs on batteries, and sound editing is a LOT more accessible. As for replacing the MC-707 with it, the SH-4d is marketed as a multitimbral synth rather than a groovebox and it doesn’t have pattern chain or song mode, so that’s something to consider. It also doesn’t have any ability to load user samples and the PCM waveforms are limited. But, limitations aside, it looks like a great…Read More

While I think it’s a shame they didn’t add any song capabilities or chaining, I think as a multitimbral synth it looks and sounds amazing. I’m really tempted to buy one but might wait until it’s available to the public to get some user feedback. For example I noticed that not one of the demo videos showed it changing from one pattern to another. They all stopped the sequencer before choosing another pattern. I’d like to hear how in performs in this regard, e.g. does the release and effects tails get cut off when changing patterns. Also, how well does it respond to program changes from…Read More

The shimmer reverb sounds great! Do you think the mini keys will be too small for Bella to be able to play though? 🐱

The Sync model at least can be replicated in the SH-4d model, so you could gain Fat and other features including additional oscillators that way. I don’t know if there is ring modulation available in the SH-4d or 3d models (I don’t have my synth yet).
