  2. Roland Sh- 201 Virtual Analog Synthesizer System

The Roland SH-201 is a discontinued 49 key,[2] 10-voice polyphonicvirtual analogue synthesizer introduced in 2006 by the Roland Corporation. The SH-201 was discontinued in 2010. At the NAMM 2010 show Roland introduced its successor, the Roland SH-01 Gaia.

Features[edit]

The SH-201 is equipped with two analogue modeling oscillators (four when in Dual or Split mode), a multi-mode filter, ring modulator, and it allows routing an external audio signal into its own dedicated filter. Real-time controls feature 29 front panel knobs and sliders, assignable pitch/mod stick and Roland's infraredD-Beam controller. The synthesizer also acts as a USB audio interface for digital audio workstation recording.

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. May 19, 2013  This is the demo of our freely downloadable Vacyd soundset for the Roland SH-201 virtual analog synthesizer. Download the patches from here: https://archive.

The modeling and layout of filters, envelopes, oscillator types, and mix options are similar to the JP-8000. Notable differences are that the SH-201 offers more polyphony, oscillator choices, LFO routings and comes with computer software for more in-depth sound editing, patch librarian storage and DAW integration. The name SH-201 is derived from Roland's classic SH line of analog synthesizers, all of which were designed to be portable and simple to program, while the number 201 was chosen to reference the popular SH-101 which was also cased in plastic. It is also fully Windows and Mac compatible, connecting through a USB cable. MIDI and audio can be sent through the USB port.[3]

The data files for Omnisphere are stored in your STEAM folder. When you update your patches or soundsources, you are updating files in your STEAM folder, which was created when you originally installed Omnisphere. Your STEAM folder is located inside your Spectrasonics folder. See the instructions below to find your Spectrasonics folder. Jan 23, 2016  If anyone else has the problem, you have to create a shortcut in the Spectrasonics folder on your main drive directing Omnisphere toward the STEAM folder on your external drive! Create a shortcut to the STEAM folder and move this shortcut to C:ProgramDataSpectrasonics. Also don't forget to rename it to 'STEAM' instead of 'STEAM - Shortcut'! Omnisphere 2 won' t select steam folder.
