I know this demo is years old, but it’s STILL the best presentation of the 101. Thank you for providing a *variety* of sounds, rich with character. That’s the #1 thing every other demo gets wrong...most presenters use the saw only, open the cutoff ALL the way, close the resonance ALL the way and leave the release on for too long, resulting in an annoying buzzy patch that grates on one’s eardrums. The 101 is capable of so much more and you expertly & naturally captured that range here ❤

This is the most useful synth demo for me in the whole of KZfaq.

What I really like about this video is it's authenticity. Not just another fake 'I like this synth because' video. You can tell by how he moves his hand over controlls that he really uses this synth a lot.

I've never seen someone take something so simple and go this deep and creative with it

This is no presentation, it's a MASTERCLASS, wow. My toes were curling through most of this.

I could watch him work away all day, his methods are so inspiring. He‘s really a true master of the craft

My favourite 101 presentation on KZfaq. I've had one for about 6 months and learned loads of tips and ideas from this. Many thanks!

The best demo of a Sh on youtube, so inspiring! Love it

He is one of the greatest electronic music producers. Even if he only shows a synth, it needs about 2 minutes and you can here that it is him. I am so glad to have heard him play live so many times. Thank you man!

I´ve had mine for 26 years...still this guy comes up with new stuff to do with the little beast. Thanks :)

Just stunning. This guy really know how to play those controls. Sort of free flow jazz improv for synths. I really want one of those boutique 101s now, just stunning sounds. Definitely the best 101 presentation on You Tube, this guy is a synth master.

Watching him move his hands around the controls is truly therapeutic.

Great video! Just got mine back after it being on loan for nearly 10 years. Got it serviced and sorted. Sounds utterly wonderful.

What a superb demo. Mate of mine used to have one of these and, judging by the sounds coming from his room, he had no idea what to do with it.

This video is f**king amazing. Thank you for existing.

This is standing on the shoulders of giants, techno style. Utterly brilliant stuff. Many thanks Matt!

This has blown my mind. Nice one man. Great tour of the gear and you really added context to the demo.

this is still so good...after all this years

Without a doubt the best demo of a synth I’ve seen to date on KZfaq. I was lucky enough to own an SH101 for a few years back in the late eighties and boy I wish I’d had this level of tuition back then! Respect to Mathew.

This is how you demo a synth!

Wow I learned so much from this video! Thank you! You are amazingly talented!

THIS: "Sometimes you'll think you have the right amount of triggers... you didn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯." I love you, SH-101.

That was mighty fine.Really enjoyed it. I don’t have the original,i have the 01a and am glad it gets your seal of approval.

Hands down the best tutorial on a mono synth EVER...BRAVO.

High class demo! This guy knows what he’s doing. Top!

Up most respect to this guy. I have learned so much in these 20 odd minutes. Great video.

The two coolest things about the SH101 IMO are (i) every bit of it is great: great sounding VCO, great sub, great sounding VCF, really good curves on the envelope, superb interface; and (ii) the simplicity of it - one osc, one env - means you can really play it. This video shows off these features brilliantly. As for the secret about using the trigger input for accents...that is seriously inventive. I've owned this synth for about 10 years and it never occurred to me to try that.

One of the most inspiring videos I've seen in a good while.

Dude @9:10 you gave me the chills! I used to own it back in the days but never came that far. Really amazing!🙏🔥❤️

Excellent video -- many thanks!

nice review of the SH-101! Love his work!

This tutorial is AMAZING wish they made more like this its perfect! It shows you how to use an SH101 artistically and technically :) really enjoyed this very inspiring thank you!

Masterclass! This was SO helpful. Thanks man.

Dude, you have given me faith in true performance synthesis. I told myself if I saw one more clueless knob twiddler demo I would punch my fist clean through the computer screen. My knuckles thank you.

Man, that is one hell of an amazing synthesizer demonstration. It’s great to see somebody with authority, confidence, and skill show how it’s done. Thanks!

One of the best tutorials i have seen,, had a SH101 and a 202 in 90s, you have sold me on getting the SH01A for my MX1, and a Behringer mS1 ... WAHO

fantastic concept! please do more :) also kudos to Mathew Jonson!

He is simply the best at live Techno,, and getting a room going in my experience. I heard him live first in 2006, Raw Fusion, Miami WMC's. Good lord (there are videos somewhere), that was comparable to the Sex pistols first show (if you ask me).. Then at HPC in Tampa in 2011 or 2012, more of a DJ set, but he might have had a synth too (I was a bit out of my tent). He is so good, positive, and has always been super nice to me and the surrounding fans. And now, he is apparently a fantastic teacher.

No more Favourites Matthew! I now own JX-3P AND SH-101. Thank you x

This is great, I have had one of these for like 35 years and it has been gathering dust as I found I just could not get enough out of it. I just got 're-triggered' by an external source :-) Great vid!

Oh yeah, Mathew Jonson! ✨❤️🌟

so glad i chose to watch this over one of the 10 minute demonstrations of this synth

This video for me "Sealed The Deal" for my purchase of the SH-01A. Thanks!!!!!!

Thanks to ppl who organized this such a great 27 mins

Very Co ideas! Really really astonished! Thx you made my day!

Mathew made a video that made this already simple synth even more approachable. Thanks for this and just in time since the lower priced Behringer clone with MIDI is being released soon. (Also the Malekko MC-202 clone). 2018 is looking to be a good year for synths.

I knew you looked familiar! Boiler Room Berlin, Midnight Operator. I wasnt there, but I watched the video. You and your brother (i assume he's your brother) were amazing!!! You guys really know your stuff. Just watching you guys work is as mesmorizing as your music. This is really cool how you are showcasing your favorite gear.

Nice one. A fellow Victoria BC boy, known Matt since day one. Talented and cool person. Rock on Matt. His brother Nathan is great too.

This video really shows off the greatness of the 101, and really the greatness of all great synths. It is not just the raw sound of the oscillator, or the filter, or whatever... it has always been how the entire package comes together as a whole. The 101 is an inspiring instrument. It has exactly the right amount of stuff, in the right places, sounding the right way, to be rad. Very few other synths pull that off. 80s Roland were on another level.

who were the ten people who gave this a thumbs down? Seriously? Amazing demo, Thanks Mathew

great inspiration. Thanks for sharing that

Thank you Mathew!

The 101 was my first analog. I will never sell it. Ever. They are so fun and versatile.

Finally a review by someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, and you can hear the difference in the variability 👍🏻

Overtones with keyboard tracking of a resonating analog filter... THANK YOU MATTHEW !!!

Wow Thanks alot it Helps the simplicity how you talk about it.

Watching this helped me understand my Intellijel Atlantis in a much better way! What an amazing demo :)

Ohhh I'll be humming that tune all week......

Amazing Demonstration! 😎

Now that's what I call 'playing' a synthesiser

This man in PROFICIENT on the synth, wow, I'll have to try out some of the tricks now, wow

Now i know how Folding Space and Decompression were crafted.

Great producer, super creative and a very humble person!!! :)

well, this video pushed me to get sh101 boutique or b-ringer ms1:), it simply amazing how you squeeze the synthesizer to over-reach it's potential!

Wow I actually feel like I learned something instead of hearing an interesting sales pitch! This is awesome.

Ahh so that’s how he made typerope! True art this... great video

Awesome way of presenting an awesome instrument!

Mathew the Groove Master this video is a work of art

Some people just operate synthesizers, and some people actually _play synthesizers!_ Excellent video/demo/lesson!

Great stuff!

I have been doing this all wrong... Amazing vid!

Excellent!

Mathew is a True Master!

I had one in the ‘80s and thought it the coolest thing ever. The PWM sounded great!.

This is amazing !

Just been listening to his new ep now!

Thanks for this im using the sh101 and TB303 to help me get they acid sounds like ferry tayle and aly fila tracks

This one is inspiring 👏🏼

this is just beautiful!

Very well presented and inspiring tutorial. Thank you all.

Nice Video. Awaiting Part 2 ...

Wao love the arppeggio you just have made for a track

He plays it like a Dj scratches. Love it

Hands down the best and most inspiring 101 video I’ve seen.

Absolutely great 😀 !!!

Great musician, great synthesiser👏👏

Man, I've been a 101 chaser my whole mature musical life. From just coming over to electronic music and worshiping the early titans who used it. Didn't know what synth it was, but loved the sound. Then to pursuing it in vst form in my own (poorly funded) work. But that raw tone... simple synth, but the tone is so fertile, it inspires play that ultimately finds all of the unique sound making abilities, that are not immediately apparent on the face of a single osc synth with a few sliders. All that to say, I've got to hear the Behringer, because that sound may be achievable by me for the first time. I really hope they did it.

Absolute MASTERCLASSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! really nice shit !!!!!!!!!!

This makes me want to own one. Also, I'm ready to buy your CD lol

I need to dig out my 101 again!

Totally stealing that decay trick for introducing lines from my own 101.

This is inspirational.

Großes Kompliment, Telekom EB! Mega-gut gemacht und sicherlich auch für alte Hasen in der Musikproduktion noch spannend! Wie @fonitronik schreibt, sehr authentisch und nicht das X. Mal ein show-off mein Haus, mein Boot, mein Studio mit Synthesizern. Lag aber sicher auch zu einem gewissen Teil an Mathew Jonson, der sich mal über die Schulter blicken ließ... ;-)

SH-101 was given mad love by the Goa Trance in the 90's

This is gold

Cleanest set of sh1 keys i have ever seen.

Kinda like your dad showing you chords on the guitar. "This is how you play Heart of Gold"

24:50 thats an epic trick - thanks for that one!

The sh01a doesn’t have cv gate in but it has midi so you can do the same thing he demonstrated in this video on the boutique version

amazing
