Description
Roland's SH-4d desktop synthesizer is a powerhouse production station built to unleash musical creativity. With 11 oscillator models and a multitimbral pattern sequencer, you can design sounds spanning musical genres and craft layered compositions that evolve over time. Extensive effects, including reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser and distortion, provide the sonic versatility to shape your sounds. And with 128-voice polyphony, you have the freedom to create complex patches with rich layers.
Diverse Oscillators Shape Your Sound
The SH-4d's 11 oscillator models, including analog, FM, wavetable and virtual analog types, give you a palette of tonal options to build the sounds you imagine. From earth-shaking basses to ethereal pads to searing leads, the SH-4d has you covered. With dedicated oscillator, pitch, filter, amp and LFO sections for each timbre, you have the control to craft your personalized sounds.
Pattern Sequencer Constructs Evolving Compositions
The SH-4d's multitimbral pattern sequencer allows you to create rhythmic sequences, basslines, arpeggios and melodic passages that develop over time. With options to control gate time, velocity, motion sequence and more, your patterns can become dynamic performances. Chain up to 64 patterns together in a song to build fully realized compositions. The sequencer also syncs to external MIDI clock so you can integrate the SH-4d into your DAW-based productions or hardware setups.
Perform and Record Expressive Gestures
The SH-4d's hands-on panel puts essential controls at your fingertips to facilitate an intuitive and spontaneous workflow. Dynamic knobs, sliders, switches and pads respond to velocity and aftertouch, allowing you to perform expressive gestures that can be recorded as motion sequences. Two assignable ribbon controllers provide an innovative method of manipulating sounds in real time. Everything about the SH-4d is designed to transform your musical ideas into reality.
Take Your Synth Anywhere
Compact and portable, the SH-4d is a synthesizer you can take anywhere. Whether crafting sounds in your studio, performing on stage or creating on the go, the SH-4d is your creative companion.
