Released in 1982 and sold throughout the mid-’80s, Roland’s SH-101 is a classic analogue monosynth with a broad and lasting mass-market appeal.
On the one hand, its simplistic and approachable design masks a surprising level of versatility, capable of producing punchy basses, biting leads and rasping acid lines. All of which contribute to its status as a longtime staple tool within dance music.
