only that you will need a midi/CV converter to use it with software, but there are also software options which utilize your soundcardMarkA wrote:Hi guys, i'm just about to purchase my first hardware synth, a roland sh101, is there anything I should know beforehand? Steevio I know you have at least one, any recommendations?

make sure all the sliders work without noises or dead spots, replacements are hard to get a hold of now.
Couple comments:
The Virus is still relevant. I like the sounds I get from it, plus, its more hands on than most soft synths.
The P08 is an excellent synth. Just takes a little getting to know it. The haters probably didn't spend the time. To compensate for its lack of bass, and because I also play bass in like, a band band, I got the new Taurus, which is deeeep.
Never really got the whole vco vs dco thing. THey both sound good, if you use them right.

I have a recommendation - don't be a dumbass like me and sell it after you got one:) there is a website that sells SH101 partsMarkA wrote:Hi guys, i'm just about to purchase my first hardware synth, a roland sh101, is there anything I should know beforehand?
