This 4-part multi-timbral synth uses new Wave Acceleration Synthesis to deliver up to 32 voices of fat synth waves and entirely new waveforms. There's also a full complement of knobs and sliders — plus analog-style drums, DSP effects, and a killer arpeggiator, giving musicians desktop access to a range of stunning synth sounds at an unbelievable low price.

Roland SH32 Synthesizer Customer Review
Feature:
There is nothing here I would demand, again, at the low price. I think you get much more than what you pay for.
Quality:
It seems very well built, and I have no reason to assume that it should not work as designed. The appearance of it either looks a bit retro, or a bit dated, depending on your point of view. The knobs all seem decently robust, and the sliders feel a bit thin and fragile, but nothing feels like it will break off in your fingers. Again, at $200, well above par.
Value:
$200? Game over...
Desirability:
Not really concerned about the looks at this price. And in all honesty, the look at any price...
Sound:
This is my first ever hardware synth. I have been using high powered software for several years - Reason, Reaktor, Tassman, Absynth, etc. -so I cannot compare it to much more expensive units, but at the price I paid for it, $200, I feel like I am getting away with something. If your first impression of this unit is via headphones, you will be a bit let down, as I think they cut some corners there to keep the price so low, but as soon as you plug it into a better amplifier and speakers, that

"Fantastic value, fantastic sound"
Truly a unique little (emphasis on little -- this is a miracle of compactness!) synth. Excellent, rugged design. Waveform variations for all the classic analogue synth waves plus spectrum and noise provides a _huge_ VA sound palette. 35 built-in efx in Insert effects unit, plenty of reverb, delay and chorus variations in Send efx unit _plus_ ability to route 'em parallel or serial. Classic Roland synth filter (does it self-resonate? hell yeah, screams like a banshee!), JP8K-style env control with sliders, smooooth oscillators (NO they are not multi-samples, don't care what FUD others are spreading, they're wrong), incredible glitch and industrial capability with noise and spectrum oscs, sub-osc for massive bottom end, arpeggiator is fully editable with 88 factory styles, all replaceable, really a full-scale 32-step step sequencer, all incredibly easy to use. Fantastic built-in TR808-style drum machine to boot, full drum sequencing abilities alongside synth engine with NO load on the latter.
Just amazing, check this one out!
