Free Roland SH-4d 2.0 update: new oscillator models, pattern chaining

Amidst the flurry of gear news last week, Roland quietly made their SH-4D synth newer, for free. You get two new oscillator models, pattern chaining, new system-level effects routing, off-grid sub-step entry, and more. Here’s what’s new:

Roland SH-4d polysynth: 11 models in one knob-y box with tons of extras, drums – and motion

Roland has built one packed instrument to celebrate 50 years of the company’s synths. The SH-4d sports eleven synth oscillator models in one box – from SH-101 and JUNO-106 to new cross FM and wavetable synths. But it’s still hands-on, battery-powered, and costs US$649. And there’s a twist, literally: D-MOTION motion control means you can pick up the synth and play it by moving it around.
