ROLAND SH 09 Analog Synthesizer 1979, HD DEMO

(c) 2022 by AnalogAudio1 The Roland SH09 is a great little monophonic analog synth. With only 1 oscillator, a wide range of cool sounds are possible Quite simple design, but the basic sound is excellent: the fast envelope, the PWM in combination with the sub oscillator makes that magic Roland analog sound happen. Quite interesting features as S H, noise generator, 24 dB filter, ADSR, external signal input (with its own input level slider). The sound architecture is very similar to its successor SH101, but the SH09 sounds more like the earlier Roland gear from the 70ies. It really shines when controlled by a sequencer, it has some fantastic percussive sounds. Built like a tank, high quality hardware, easy to repair. I played the Roland SH09 with reverb effects from the Lexicon MPX500 (in the intro) and delay effects from the Korg SDD3000 (right channel only). On the left channel you can hear the synth dry. At 3:15 it gets groovy with the Roland TR606
