Feature:
The D-Beam is cool. Everything is useful.

Quality:
Well made, seems sturdy.

Value:
Very good value for a beginner synth.

The lights on it are cool. It's light weight.

Haven't had to use it.

Feature:
some very interesting arpegiators, along with the basic ones. for me, the only feature for this that i don't use is the built in recorder. everything else is perfect.

Quality:
overall pretty sturdy. making it a little more heavy duty wouldn't hurt. i constantly play shows with this bad boy, and no problems yet.

Value:
if i could go back, knowing everything i know now about keyboards and synthesizers, this would still be my number one choice. i bought this for a little under 500 dollars... best spent 500 dollars yet.

Desirability:
very impressive layout. keys feel great. my first synth, soon to be paired up with a microKORG.

Sound:
sound quality is amazing. despite only 32 presets and 32 user patches, the flexibility of this machine is ridiculous. couldn't ask for anything more.

Ease of Use:
couldn't be easier. my first thought when i saw this was, "where's the screen?" i went ahead and bought this without a clue on how to play or use a synthesizer. this machine taught me everything i know about synthesizers. as far as creating sounds, everything is perfectly mapped out for you right on board. very simple. best synth out there for beginners, in any price range.

Support:
haven't had to deal with roland yet. right now i can't save any new sounds i make, but my guess is that the save button is just stuck. no big deal to fix. the manual gives a lot of helpful pointers too.

Overall:
i plan on using this powerhouse until i can't use it anymore. at that point, i'd get it fixed. if it couldn't be fixed, i'd buy a new one.

Put the fun back in synthesis!

For musicians new to synthesizers, Roland announces the most friendly and fun analog-modeling instrument on the market: the SH-201. For synth pros, the SH-201 will remind them of why they fell in love with synthesizers in the first place. Simply, the SH-201 is a blast to play! It sounds great too, thanks to such features as Roland's famous Supersaw waveform, resonant filter, saturation control, and more.

Great Analog-Style Sound
Even though it's super fun and easy to use, the SH-201 is no toy when it comes to sound. With two beefy analog-modeling oscillators onboard, complete with Roland's famous Supersaw waveform and resonant filter, this little synth can blow down doors. It also comes with high-quality delay and reverb effects for adding depth and dimension to the sound, an overdrive control for adding a ripsaw edge, and an arpeggiator for instant rhythmic motion.

Ultra-Easy Operation
This is synthesis at its friendliest. The SH-201's front panel puts every control directly under the player's fingertips in a logically positioned signal path from left to right. No hidden menus, no nonsense. Just play and move the knobs and sliders. It's as simple as that. Students of synthesis will love the ease and immediate gratification of the SH-201. No other modern synth on the market is as fun, friendly, and inviting.

External Audio Input
Playing the SH-201 from its keyboard is only half the fun. External audio sources can be plugged into the SH-201's external input (CD/MP3-player, sampler,, etc.) and the sound can be twisted with the front-panel knobs and sliders. Wave your hands over the SH-201's invisible D Beam for dramatic modulation.

USB Connectivity
The SH-201 can be connected to a computer (Mac or PC) with one simple USB cable. Both MIDI and audio can be routed through the USB port. A VSTi software editor is included, which allows SH-201 sounds to be manipulated from within a VSTi-compatible host software sequencer.
