As someone that travels for a living, I’ve been searching for the perfect travel size groove box and this checks almost all the boxes. I just ordered one.

@malvinusmusic 4 месяца назад

You won't regret, thanks for tuning in!

@russellyoung6498 6 месяцев назад

Got to agree with you there mate. I have spent many happy hours with mine, and there's always something new! Appreciate your work.

@malvinusmusic 6 месяцев назад

Hi Russell, yes our SH-4d is great, thanks for your kind comment, as always, cheers!

@guyboatman6133 6 месяцев назад

I honestly bought this machine for one sound, a flexible poly warm pad sound to stack on my Nord electro. There is just something about having a dedicated hardware synth that software can’t replicate (although it comes close). I love mine! It truly is a great machine. Thanks for your videos!

@malvinusmusic 6 месяцев назад

I agree. The sound, the pots and sliders, everything comes in handy for making good music. Thank you for your comment!

@domeniquexander_ 5 месяцев назад

great 🔥 order mine tomorrow. This thing sounds so good. really cool video. New Abo 🤙🏼🙂

@malvinusmusic 5 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot, have fun with SH-4d!

@wendelynmusic 6 месяцев назад

I love mine also. The more I use it the happier I am having it. There a some flaws but I am really hoping many of them will be fixed with updates. I just love it.

@malvinusmusic 6 месяцев назад

You are right, "happy" is the word. Playing this machines makes you happy. Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate!

I been waiting for a piece of gear like this, I'm a newer music producer and I'm still learning. This seems to be a great box to help generate ideas and learn track composition. I don't understand the hate toward this device. Looks great to me.

@malvinusmusic Месяц назад

The hate is because of some flaws regarding the groove box functions but if we look at It as a four parts plus rhythm part synthesizer, as the writing on it says, we all can almost agree it is a nice sounding machine. Love it too, thanks for stopping by!

@duketranslucent3rd 3 месяца назад

Nice overview, thanks! I've heard it said that the sound design is a little limited/shallow, which isn't surprising given the price point / sheer weight of features the box offers. It's still a great buy nonetheless.

@malvinusmusic 3 месяца назад

It's all about the price point compared to the sound and the ease of use it. IMO it's a great deal. Thank you for stopping by!

@rexcellencemagee6729 6 месяцев назад

I bought this without knowing anything but the specs on Sweetwater. 60 voices with a Juno and SH-01. This IS my favorite synth and I have Kronos, Nautilus, Integra 7, Motif, many Behringer 12 140 hps of eurorack, all of the latest Dreadbox. The point is, it’s my favorite! I would like to see an app made for it though!

@malvinusmusic 6 месяцев назад

Although I have many other gears as well, It Is my fav too. Agree, top notch instrument!

@VJFranzK 10 часов назад

5:10 Yeah! Audio In should have EFX on it. We need it for Vocals and such.

@malvinusmusic 9 часов назад

Absolutely!

@shinezacharias3118 Месяц назад

Cause I have tr8s, and what was in firmware update, Arpeggioter can use all Synth parts like 5 arp

@SonicVibe 6 месяцев назад

it's one of my favorite grooveboxes i have ever used not sure why it gets all the hate yes id love to use it as a fx box on audio in but i think you do have triggers and param locks ya can record automation. The jam at the end was great synthwave ish

@malvinusmusic 6 месяцев назад

I think it is disliked little precisely because it is simple. People like complicated things, lol! Thank you for your kind words!

@SonicVibe 6 месяцев назад

this makes sense agreed @@malvinusmusic

@orielsy 3 месяца назад

I don't see multiple outputs. How do I split the audio to put an effect pedal on a specific channel/voice?

@malvinusmusic 3 месяца назад

Thete are no separate audio outs. To have separate channels you have to use the USB audio feature of the SH-4d so that you can put the FX in your DAW

@VJFranzK 10 часов назад

Is there an easy way to Fade In certain drums? but not others. (I keep thinking 4 sliders are good, but why not more?)

@malvinusmusic 9 часов назад

You can fade in drums with the Model knob. Just uncheck the drums you don't wanna fade in and you're good to go. AFAIK there are no other ways.

@Trollgaldrer 6 месяцев назад

My only complaint about the machine is the weird save functionality. If I use the same sound on several different projects but with minor adjustments on each I have to save as different sounds to keep the settings on individual tracks. Really annoying!

@malvinusmusic 6 месяцев назад

I get it. I use tò think that, at the end of the day, It"s just one more click if you let it unrenamed. Thanks for your comment!

@Trollgaldrer 6 месяцев назад

@@malvinusmusic Yes, it is just a minor annoyance. It really is a wonderful machine, I absolutely love it, it has given me so many hours of fun and enjoyment. In my opinion it is the best piece of gear Roland has produced in many years, it is so versatile.

@hdslave 5 месяцев назад

This has plagued hardware groove boxes since the beginning

@shinezacharias3118 Месяц назад

if i dont want to use the drum track can i change to another synth

@malvinusmusic Месяц назад

Absolutely

@shinezacharias3118 Месяц назад

Thanks for replay

@trickfall8752 Месяц назад

Boss Roland seem to be against updating the firmware on their products, but IMO the SH-4D could go from very good to fantastic with some tweaks. One thing I don't think you mentioned as a con is the saving system which I personally find antiquated and annoying.

@malvinusmusic Месяц назад

I am actually not annoyed by the saving system, although it might certainly be better, I agree. Maybe I will make soon a video about this topic

@holografik3327 6 месяцев назад

you have polyphonic probability , ratchet and rolls , different sequencer modes ( forward / backward / ping pong & random ) and automation (not exactly plocks but close ) so sequencer is not a slouch !

@holografik3327 6 месяцев назад

you did mention the lack of effects on audio ins , but the fx tools is huge : with one insert effect per track plus one global fx and one global + delay + chorus +reverb and one master compressor and EQ and one dedicated eq per track ! this is cool

@malvinusmusic 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely! SH-4d is a beautiful sequencer. I meant only that it',s not as Deep as the Elektron. Thanks for stopping by!

@VJFranzK 10 часов назад

3:27 what's that weird sound? its like QBert noises

@malvinusmusic 9 часов назад

I don't remember but yeah, very weird!
