Renowned for its raw vintage tone, the SH-2’s dual VCO plus sub-oscillator configuration dishes out devastatingly fat basses, edgy leads, and wild effects.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eParty Like It’s 1979\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn the late 1970s, synthesizers were undergoing a significant transition with the development of polyphony and onboard patch memory. As the world’s synth manufacturers raced to develop these new technologies, Roland launched a seemingly basic monophonic synthesizer—the now-classic SH-2.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eThe Place for Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eReleased around the same time as Roland’s pioneering JUPITER-4, the SH-2’s functionality was conservative by comparison. But its configuration of two VCOs and a sub-oscillator essentially gave it three VCOs, making it capable of extremely fat and warm analog synth tones. To this day, many synth aficionados feel it produces the most earth-shaking, bone-rattling synth bass sounds of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003ePlug In Your Own SH-2\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe SH-2 software leverages Roland’s deep knowledge of the original units to faithfully capture every fine detail, right down to the interaction between the individual circuits. Everything has been reproduced exactly, from the self-oscillating VCF to the attack and decay characteristics of the steep envelope. The original’s unique harmonic makeup and pitch wavering are present, as are behaviors that occur only in analog circuitry, like the subtle effect on tonality when parameters unrelated to the actual tone are adjusted. There are even some new features that were not available on the original:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eVCO range is expandable to 64' for ultra-deep bass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo ADSR envelopes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModern effects: reverb, tempo-syncing delay, and bit-crusher\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuto-bend with support for reverse actions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTempo-syncing arpeggiator\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eHardware Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe SH-2 also supports Roland's PLUG-OUT format for extended operation with Roland hardware synths like the SYSTEM-8 or the smaller SYSTEM-1. Transfer sounds back and forth between the hardware and software, and PLUG-OUT directly to the hardware synth to create a standalone SH-2 that goes anywhere and doesn’t require a computer. You can also use the hardware’s knobs and sliders for hands-on control when the plug-in is hosted in your DAW.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAC OS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperating System: macOS 10.14; macOS 10.15; macOS 11\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHost Application: VST 3.6 compatible; Audio Units V2 compatible; AAX compatible\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCPU: Intel Core i5 or better; Apple M1 chip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRAM: 4 GB or greater\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHard Disk: 100 MB or greater\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisplay Resolution and Colors: 1,280 x 900 dots or higher, 16.7 million colors or greater\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOther: You’ll need Internet connectivity to authenticate this software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINDOWS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperating System: Microsoft Windows® 8.1; Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHost Application: VST 2.4\/3.6 compatible; AAX compatible\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCPU: Intel Core i5 or better\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRAM: 4 GB or greater\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHard Disk: 100 MB or greater\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisplay resolution and Colors: 1,280 x 900 dots or higher, 24 bits Full Color or greater\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOther: You’ll need Internet connectivity to authenticate this software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Roland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450744303719,"sku":"161350","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/roland-sh-2_161350_1_c9d68fe8-9097-4a14-ab07-3baeb0c3ed9f.jpg?v=1787094344","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/roland-sh-2-key","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
