Common Roland SH-101 Questions
How do I sync my SH-101 to other gear using MIDI?
The SH-101 does not have built-in MIDI. You'll need a CV/Gate to MIDI converter to translate MIDI clock and note data into signals the SH-101 can understand via its CV/Gate inputs.
How do I save and recall patterns on the SH-101?
The SH-101 sequencer does not have any memory for saving patterns; patterns are lost when the unit is powered off. You must manually re-enter the sequence each time or record the audio.
How do I transpose a sequence while it's playing?
Use the bender lever or the transpose knob on the SH-101. The transpose knob allows for semitone adjustments, while the bender lever provides more nuanced pitch shifting.
My SH-101 is outputting a weak or distorted sound. What could be the problem?
Check the output level knob and ensure it is not set too low. Also, check the position of the VCF modulation sliders, as extreme settings can cause unwanted clipping.
What is the significance of the sub-oscillator on the SH-101?
The sub-oscillator on the SH-101 generates a square wave one or two octaves below the main oscillator, adding significant low-end punch and depth to the synth's sound.
