The Roland SH-4D Synthesizer is a powerful desktop sound module that includes eleven OSC (oscillator) models spanning vintage analog tones to cutting-edge digital textures. As well as the new SH-4D native engine, the synthesizer also features a range of models including classic Roland gear such as the JUNO-106, SH-101, and more.
Utilizing four independent synth parts, complete with a multitimbral pattern sequencer and onboard effects, makes the SH-4D a sound design powerhouse. Get hands-on with your sound design using the extensive control panel and advanced modulation matrix with 32 knobs and four sliders providing in-depth rein over all major functions and parameters. Shape your tones using the dedicated Filter, Amplifier, and LFO sections, and create rhythmic patterns using the sequencer with real-time recording and motion recording capabilities.
Building on the design of previous Roland Sound Modules, the SH-4D features a button keyboard with a two-plus octave range. Visualize your waveforms and settings using the built-in LCD display, accompanied by a four-button navigation control for toggling between sounds, settings, and parameters. You can even control performance effects by physically moving the SH-4D via D-Motion and Visual Arpeggio. Take your sound design a step further utilizing extensive onboard sound processing and a range of analog connections, including a built-in audio/MIDI interface and 5-pin MIDI I/O.
Eleven powerful OSC models (including classic Roland models): Incorporating the best of both worlds, the SH-4D includes both vintage analog models as well as cutting-edge digital textures, allowing you to tap into the warmth and grit of analog oscillation and the versatile nature of digital oscillation. As well as the new SH-4D native engine, the sound module comes equipped with a variety of different models, including classic Roland gear such as the Juno-106 and the SH-101. It also features both classic and modern-day models, including Wavetable, Cross FM, PCM, Ring, Chord Drawing, and more. Comprised of four independent synth parts, the SH-4D can process up to 60 voices of total polyphony (dependent on the OSC model voice settings), allowing you to create powerful multi-layered sounds. Create everything from aggressive bass tones to pads and soaring leads with the wide range of controls on offer. Shape your sound using the dedicated Filter, Amplifier, and LFO sections, and a Rhythm part with selectable waveforms and individual sound design per instrument for advanced users.
Advanced control panel with modulation matrix: Designed to optimize your workflow, the SH-4D’s comprehensive control panel features 32 rotary knobs and four sliders, as well as an array of buttons for navigation and more. Taking inspiration from classic Roland modules, the SH-4D includes a button keyboard with a two-plus octave range so you can play notes directly from the synthesizer. You can navigate between sounds and settings using the four-button directional controls (up, down, left, right), and toggle between settings, functions, effects, and parameters using the LCD display. One of the most unique features of the SH-4D is the inclusion of D-Motion technology. This allows you to create performance effects by physically moving the synthesizer, translating your movements into modulation and more. You can also modulate multiple assignable parameters from the advanced modulation matrix. Creating melodic rhythms using the Visual Arpeggio, which provides instant visual feedback, showing you how your notes are being affected and arpeggiated.
Multitimbral sequencer with 128 patterns: Roland is renowned for their iconic sequencing capabilities, first pioneered in early drum machines from Roland and taken to the next level with the SH-4D. The multitimbral sequencer allows you to sequence more than one timbre at a time, allowing you to create multi-layered patterns that can be changed on the fly. With 128 patterns at your disposal, the SH-4D is well-suited to live performances as well as studio work, allowing you to create ever-evolving sequences and even full-blown songs. You can also input your notes in various ways, such as real-time recording, two-step entry, and motion recording for added versatility.
Extensive sound processing and built-in audio/MIDI interface: A sound designer’s dream, the SH-4D provides extensive sound processing functions with MFX (multi-effects) for each Tone, allowing you to texturize sounds, add depth, or experiment with timbre. It also has global MFX in the form of reverb, chorus, delay, and more. You can also use the SH-4D alongside your favorite DAW or a variety of MIDI instruments thanks to the built-in audio/MIDI interface and 5-pin MIDI I/O connectivity.
Compact design with a range of analog connectivity: Portable and powerful, the SH-4D is perfect for musicians on the move or in the studio. The compact design makes it suitable for portable sound creation, with the SH-4D capable of being powered via batteries or USB-C hub power. The rear of the synthesizer features a range of analog connections, including a headphone jack, stereo 1/4-inch audio outputs, and even a 3.5mm stereo audio input for incorporating external synths such as the AIRA Compact or Roland Boutique range. You can also synchronize your MIDI/modular gear using the clock input – great for creating powerful synth rigs.
