We all know it will . .

Nothing escapes.

Haha you may be right on this one. Made me laugh anyway. Top.

I know, right? It’s like they finally decided to make a sensible product. Heads will roll at Roland’s HQ…

@@raistaparta I’m greatly anticipating the day they go off the rails and make a synth where all menu functions are accessed via d-beam.

I guess we have different preamps, DAWs, plugins, monitors etc as well as making our own sounds to our own taste. Perhaps those change the vibe of the same instrument in different environments?

I agree. I thought it sounded pretty dull, kind of flabby sounding, until I watched Alex's video.

he just recorded it properly, and is a great composer

@@AlexBallMusic Brilliant demo as always Alex. Any chance of sharing the Pre, Interface and any post processing used?

Just like most Roland gear, I thought this sounded super digital and lifeless, despite the lovely features, until this demo... And now I'm wondering what I should sell :)

Derphinger have been doing this for years, with everyone of their releases.

Now that truly sounds like the shit!

🙃

Better work on that 5% then. 🙂

Agree on this! I like the electronic acid style the most!

That's because He has done this for a very long time and only pulish what actually sounds good. He probably has alot of bad sounding stuff that you will never hear.

If you listen, he layers together different simple musical elements that are catchy. Kind of the secret to good musical composition if you ask me.

It’s true because the product is always musical. Truly musical. Great works man.

Yep, looks quite unassuming, but it really isn't.

The SH plot thickens. Need to do a TR skit at some point. That line is even worse.

Hi Danniielle. Yeah, there's treats from all the eras to be explored.

thinking the same thing when i saw it has a tr-707 kit inside

I have the Roland JD-Xi (which also does drums and has lots of options for different sounds over four channels), and absolutely love it! I’m so excited for my new SH-4D! Can’t wait to take it out to some beautiful places and make some music. It’s damn close to perfect in my eyes. 😊

Funny that you should mention the Third Wave as a video has been setup, we're just waiting on an available unit. Really looking forward to that one. I heard of the Nina I think. Is that with the knobs that move by themselves? Thanks for the support by-the-way, much appreciated! (Sorry for the G.A.S)

@@AlexBallMusic indeed, it has the motorised knobs. I splurged and own one, but I'm curious what could be done with it in your far-more-capable hands.

Thank you. :)

Congrats! Hope you enjoy it. It has multi-channel outputs over USB, so you can record everything into your DAW. That's what I did in this video. :)

@@AlexBallMusic Well, you sold it to me

I’ve still got a Roland D110 - by comparison this screen is no letterbox!

Love that font. Instant retro future.

Perhaps in firmware updates

Cheers. Yes, I think the KZfaq crowd have different complimentary approaches and mine has become the quickfire, 10 minute summary. Price - yep, fairly priced for what it does. I think it will do well.

Price didn't surprise me, I was briefly considering snagging one to have a more hands on sound design machine to compliment my MC-707 and compared to the normal Zen Core experience the engine is intentionally cut way down in what it can do but that's also what allows it to be so hands on. I'm still kind of considering one just for a more hands on synth though it would inherently sonically have a huge amount of overlap with what a MC-707 can do just on it's own with the right patch programming.

@@justjoeblow420 yeah, the only Roland thing I currently own is a VP-550, so I think I'd be good on that front. I have a few drum machines or mainly drum machines, but not an actual "heart of performance" type of kit if you know what I mean...

I consider this an evolution of the SH-32 and JD-Xi product philosophies. Yeah, they're inconsistent with the SH and JD prefixes especially... and oddly enough, also with the Jupiter and Juno names. Yet, they're pretty consistent with MC, and somewhat consistent with TR. WTH?

'data 70'... i was dying to know what that damn font is called for years holy shit thanks ;3;

This one goes gwamp. This one goes ping. This one goes wow. This one goes dong. Yeah, I reckon I could do that.

@@AlexBallMusicbut we need more machines that go bing ! 😂

​@@AlexBallMusic I hope it's not that technical if you do. That'd be a pretty dry video.

​@@Death_By_Media no no no, that one means YOUR BABY IS STILL ALIVE

@@adamoliver82 idk i feel like alex ball could talk about anything and if he put his creative spin on it, it would be entertaining

It does transmit cc from its controls so it should work fine as a controller.

Multi-channel audio over USB, so you can record everything in one go that way, but only stereo outputs on the analogue side. A compromise of the size I guess.

I came here to comment basically the same thing: First piece of gear in a loooong time which I might want to get - just to play around with it. I _guess_ it's because it's more a groovebox than just a synth?

@@henninghoefer It’s a perfect balance between both, enough parameters for dedicated sound design and enough sequencing capabilities to be groovebox-capable 👌

The MC707 is great, though :)

Only 1/2 way thru and I have never heard anything like this, it's like a T800 went back in time to kill Sarah, said screw it and started making music, this is what it would sound like. Maybe Skynet IS useful.

​@@dankeplace SH-arah Conner.

@@AlexBallMusic lol you win many internets, even Peter Straten approves!!!

@@AlexBallMusic also I want to say how much negative attention this is getting, people just do not get how hard it is to get the same sort of movement with the MC707. They're different beats, the MC707 is imo more of a workstation, with 3 assignable knobs per part. That is woeful, sure you can do motion sequencing, but you're stuck with this very static set, 8 parts and you're more just djing your set. The SH-arah is more hands on and immediate, I can see how quickly you managed to do what you did, how it sounds, for a 4 part synth and 1 drum, it sounds like a finished synthwave song. This is almost a definitive 80s synth that everyone should be looking into, if that's their genre of music. I just packed all my synths away in boxes yesterday, I just don't have the room and am in no hurry to create with them. The SH-arah just happens to land at my feet and I am like, wow, this is a great 80s throwback, imagine if you had 2? People be like, it sounds plastic, it sounds digital, I'm like, you haven't used one, how would you know? This with a Wavestate would make a nice combo, and i have a WS packed away lol.

if korg wont do it, someone else has to, i guess. but probably 400 dollars more than it should be 🤷‍♂️

You could have a "pre upgrade" with a Korg Electribe

Norman Osborn is very upset.
