Roland SH 101 Synthesizer Owner's Manual
Below you will find brief information for Synthesizer SH 101. The SH 101 is a monophonic synthesizer with a 32-key keyboard, a built-in sequencer, and automatic arpeggio function. The SH-101 can be used to create a variety of sounds from basic to complex, including a variety of waveforms, pulse width modulation, and filter options.

Uncompromisad sound can be obtained by mixing a waveform from the VCOI À or Mill, Noise and the signal from the SUB Oscillator. The built-in seguencor allows automatic playing of up to 100 steps. The Automatic Arpeggio function allows automatic: playing simply by pressing à chord, Transposition to any key 15 possible by the Tramposé function, The Pórtamento Mode selector switch includes he AUTO position, In this mada a portamento effect is produced only whit you are playing in a legato manner.
