ROLAND SH-1000 Analog Synthesizer 1973 | HQ DEMO 

thanks!

The delay/echo makes a big difference to the output. The one I had was only hooked to a Roland amp with revo, I couldn't afford the echo systems of the day. Sold it for an electric piano so I could go back to playing chords.

thank you!

Roland's first Roland even ;)

indeed. you don`t. get one of these old machines, take it into service work (if necessary) and hook it up with a digital, noise-free fx-machine (a cheap one will do like the nux "cerberus"). welcome to the real world, neo. :)

it's a tough question... actually I like a lot of synths, there is no "best synth"

Theres nothing to setup, it doesnt even have midi....

Jordy Simons So? Great instrument to solo on! Or multitrack! People did make music on it back in the day, no reason you can't now.

Had one for a few years back in mid 80's. Was a ton of fun to play with. Now I wish I had kept it.

Says the first synthesizer, yes an analogue drum machine is a synthesizer but wouldn't usually call it that.

Yo tengo un Korg X3 y un Yamaha B200. No los vendería ni muerto. He descubierto sus características y veo que son increíbles, sobre todo el Korg. Siempre pienso que antes de deshacerse de un equipo así hay que investigarlo lo más que se pueda. Ojalá me lo hubieras vendido a mí... XD

locos, lo que es emulator, roland, korg, y algunas casio, son joyas , jamas se deben vender, o al menos vender a un bajisimo precio

no, the SH-1000 was played with additional effects (see video description).

They are almost all a little different. SH1000 diode based ladder filter SH2000 the moog clone SH5 multiple filters SH2 BA662 same as earlier Jupiter 4 SH101 IR3109 the Juno filter, more 80's smoother sounding to name some, they all sound pretty different ... SH1000, SH1 and SH2 are my favs

you could say that from an electric guitar as well...

Drew Kane depends what went wrong with it, usually if you take it to someone they will charge a small fee to look and diagnose the issue then go ahead to fix it after they speak with you about the full cost

Yeah, but how much is a "small fee" for this sort of thing? I dont want to get ripped off by some scumbag keyboard tech.

Drew Kane well this scumbag tech would tell you where to go if you turned up with that attitude. How bout you learn electronic engineering and do it yourself then tell us what you would like to be paid for your services so you can eat and have a roof over your head.

At least I may add, the fx is also Roland ;-)

@@AnalogAudio1, Great! You make any old crap sound like the top end gear! I love your videos! Keep it up!

he never used this, although it is a great monophonic synth.

+Almir Rogerio da Silva No Jarre, but Vangelis use this synth

Guillermo Moran That's what I thought ... Jarre or Vangelis, now you enlightened me.

I too

Did you really expect a multi FX section with delay, reverb in a monophonic synth from 1973 ?? :-D Back in the day effects were added in the mixing process, and they were all analog, big and expensive... I wouldn't say a synth is useless without effects. You could anytime add your own and much better ones. Back in the day, synths were like vintage cars or vintage mixing consoles: they had less features, but the really important ones. And if you were a good musician (not a noisemaker), you could do great music with it.

+Ari Ahrendt how impressive would sound the finest electric guitar pure? Without any treatment like effects or amp? ;-) Well, on most recordings, synthesizer were equalized and mixed with effects in the studio. It's also the case with voices... The FX alone would not sound that good :-)

I think this is the best sounding synth demo I've found on youtube. Even if part of the overall sound came from the DEP-5 effects unit attached, it's still fantastic sounding [ and playing.! ]

I made some kind of piece of electronic music to show you an example of what can be done with the SH1000 in hands of a musician. In my opinion that's the purpose of a demo video. And I felt like adding these effects.
