Alot of people use the 101 for 303 acid bass (funny but true). I highly recommend this synth. However, for about ?100 more you could pick a Pro-One or Mono-Poly. The P1 and MP are in a different league in terms of girth, dirt and versatility. Forget minimoogs.....go for P1's every time.

Any one heard of Joy Kitikonti, writes more on the tech/trance stuff..
The track Joy Energizer is a complete egsample of what the sh 101 can do icon_smile.gif

Its by far the best synth for full LFO efx..

He is just loco.

Anyways; I do like those sh101. If you pick up a SH101 be sure to get the mod-grip aswell and you got a really nice live synth.

For some reason thou, i have never looked at the SH101 as an bass-synth, i look at it more of an lead-type of synthesizer with some really nice tweaking-capabilities.

EDIT: HC -> I've heard about the same thing - a friend of mines owns a SH101 that works perfect but if he touches the power-button it goes out of tune. On another forum a member from Roland answered the question that the powersupply (or something equal) had an design fault (or something similiar) however you could always order a new one that works fine and they are really cheap. In sweden they would cost 70:- SEK ($10) for a new power-supply.

Alot of my friends that got minimoogs doesn't got this problem at all; just let the analogue warm up first before you play.

Gopal; Bah. Just because you are loco doesn't mean your music is bad. post a clip - i'd like to hear some mate

I will post a clip when I have written something I'm proud of. Everything sounds like 2 dimensional shite so far. I think I'm more of a producer than a composer, but I'm crap at that as well so far.

I sold my last analogue synth 2 years ago and i got rid of all vintage synth
bullshit that i stupidly collected over the years. About SH101 i must admit
that it was one of my favorite ones, very good filter and phat oscillators.
Today it worth between $250 to $350 depends on condition, and i highly
recommend to buy a midi>cv converter from PhilReese or Kenton.

@Tomer=Trance,
Today the price of SH101 in Israel is around 1500nis, i know that some
people may ask even 2500nis for it, but i don't believe that anyone
will really pay more than 1800 for it.
