Step The STEP Model provides step-based LFO modulation to produce dynamic movement within tones, from rigid, classic analog step sequencer-inspired phrases locked into the groove to experimental soundscapes with curves, swells, bleeps and bloops. Harmonic HARMONIC is for rich, layered sounds with a classic drawbar organ layout. Prime for creating essential house bass tones, bell-like chimes, deep pads and powerful organ sounds with hands-on control of four harmonically tuned drawbars. PATTERN CHAIN for streamlined, hands-free performances and songconstruction, made smoother still with the new SYSTEM-LEVEL FX. SYSTEM-LEVEL FX options make it possible to have consistent reverb, delay, and chorus settings across all patterns for cohesive mixes in the studio as well as uninterrupted pattern switching while playing live, maintaining effects tails. QUICK OVERWRITE for saving tone and pattern data with one swift action, minimizing time spent in the menu and preserving creative momentum. UNDO/REDO function now supported up to 10 times for worry-free experimentation when creating sequences. Keep a happy accident or revert back to your previous state! New SUB-STEP options allow for off-grid note entry, shifting synth and drum hits behind-the-beat for looser grooves and even greater variations when paired with probability. Extended MIDI control with improved program change implementation as well as new options for which MIDI data is transmitted to external devices. All the Models in one box Eleven OSC Models put a diverse range of sound-making power at your command, from vintage analog synths and PCM-based sounds to cutting-edge digital tones. There's a flexible drum synthesizer too, with rich tone-shaping capabilities for creating custom kits from scratch. Classic Inspired by legendary Roland SH synths, the SH-4d OSC Model lets you build thick vintage analog-style sounds with up to four different waveforms. Or choose the SH-3D Model, which swaps an extra LFO for the fourth part. There's also a jammable Chord Model for creating complex chord changes with single notes and simple slider movements. Future Craft crisp modern textures with the two-operator Cross FM Model. Develop complex morphing tones with the powerful Wavetable Model. Or use the Drawing Model to design your own waveforms and build sounds never heard before. Modulated Fashion bold metallic textures with the Ring Model, which offers deep sound-shaping via crossfade parameters, waveshapes, tuning and more. And with the Sync Model, it's easy to create oscillator sync tones with evolving harmonic richness and powerful envelope control. Legacy SH-4d also comes loaded with influential voices from Roland's historic past. Create classic analog flavors with the authentic sounds of the SH-101 and Juno-106 Models and anchor your tracks with the PCM Model and its large selection of sample-based sounds from Roland's deep library. Rhythm The dedicated rhythm part features 49 preset kits and 64 slots for storing your own. You get 26 instruments in a kit, each with up to two layered waveforms, dedicated EQs and a slate of synthesis tools for shaping sounds to perfection. Sonic explorer SH-4d puts everything you need for professional sound design at your fingertips, with instantly accessible controls and a clever, dynamic interface that lets you work at the speed of your imagination. Fully loaded panel Craft tones and perform in the moment with 32 knobs, four sliders and a massive array of multi-function buttons. The LCD, sliders and buttons automatically reconfigure their functions to follow the selected mode, eliminating menu-dive roadblocks that slow your creative flow. Grab-and-go synth controls Whether building tones or creating patterns, the Filter, Amp and LFO sections are always ready to shape what you're working on. The ladder filter offers multi-mode operation with interactive drive and resonance, full envelope control and an independent high pass filter to instantly tighten any sound. The Amp section provides ADSR and quick level adjustment, while the deep LFO section features numerous waveform types, fade, filter, pitch and more. Build sounds fast The dynamic OSC section puts the most important creative parameters within easy reach. Shape sounds from scratch by starting from a clean slate, or call up preset and user tone libraries for each Model and begin tweaking from there. Enter the Matrix With the powerful Matrix section, you can use LFOs, envelopes or external MIDI sources to modulate Model parameters. Easily set assignments by grabbing knobs and dive deep into detailed settings via the intuitive menu structure. Music that moves Among its many tricks, SH-4d features built-in motion sensors that allow you to pick up the synth and tweak sounds with physical movements as you perform. Use D-Motion to control two assignable parameters for the X/Y axis. Or call up the unique Visual Arpeggio to shape note patterns via fun interactive displays. Multitimbral sequencing The SH-4d sequencer is always on hand, ready to transform your sound ideas into compact loops or extended compositions. The tactile interface works in tandem with your sound design moves, making it easy to discover new tones and textures as patterns play. With up to 60 notes of polyphony, you have enough power to realize complete musical ideas in the box. Inspiration engine SH-4d offers rapid-fire Roland sequencing with four synth parts and a dedicated rhythm part. Use two different step recording modes to enter up to eight notes per step or realtime recording mode to capture playing as you go. Fine tune note velocity and other settings with detailed list editing, and manipulate patterns with reverse/random playback, first step/last step and other powerful performance features. Mix and mute In Pattern mode, SH-4d's OSC section and LCD transform into a mixer for finessing levels and arranging on the spot. Control part volumes, muting and panning and view effect send levels at a glance. When you're not in Pattern mode, you can mute/unmute parts and individual pattern steps with quick button presses. Motion recording Drop into realtime recording to capture knob and slider movements whenever you're ready. To refine your motion moves, record another pass or open the list editor and start tweaking. If you want to start over, you can easily clear all motion in a pattern with one command. Tools for surprise SH-4d provides lots of additional ways to infuse your creations with color and detail. Set probability amounts per step to invite unpredictability and add sub-steps for flams and ratchets. And along with the Visual Arpeggio feature, there's a traditional arpeggiator to capture moving note patterns as you record. Massive effects SH-4d is filled with renowned Roland effects to frost, finesse, rough up or mangle your tones and patterns. Using focused controls and dynamic menus, you can quickly call up effect types, adjust parameters, set send levels and more while creating and performing. MFX to the max Each sequencer part has a dedicated multi-effects processor with 95 effect types to explore. From filter, drive and lo-fi effects to delays, pitch shifters, phasers, flangers and the famous Juno chorus, you're sure to find what you need for any style. Global color SH-4d includes shared chorus, delay and reverb effects with send controls for each part and top-level buttons for fast on/off access. There's also an MFX processor for the pattern output, plus a system EQ and compressor for fine-tuning the overall mix.
