Roland SH-101
 Analog monophonic synthesizer

The Roland SH-101 is a classic analog monosynth from the early '80s.

It came in grey, red and blue.

It features one VCO (plus sub oscillator), an arpeggiator, and a simple sequencer.

A great feature is the auto-portamento setting.

Capable of excellent sounds.

There are plenty of  Roland SH-101 "acid", techno, electronic and wacky sci-fi FX on the Internet, so here are the original 40 factory patches which sound GREAT actually, and quite realistic in many cases ;-)
