From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roland SH-1000, introduced in 1973, was the first compact synthesizer produced in Japan. It resembles a home organ more than a commercial synth, with colorful sliders and simple functions, yet it produced decent bass and lead sounds that many professional musicians sought after. Although it has limited capabilities, with 10 simple preset voices, the SH-1000 can be manually tweaked around to create new interesting sounds. However, there is no user program memory available, so a musician would have to remember settings. Its effects include white and pink noise generators, portamento, octave transposition and a random note generator.
