I was ready to write this one off, but I think Roland actually did something really key - adding enough modern functionality that leverages the “all sweetspot” tone of their older synth. You also do a great job of explaining creative nuances (like when to add the accent) and then showing how to do it. My next box is likely going to be one of the Elektron boxes (leaning towards Syntakt), but I’ve got to admit a small, great sounding SH with modern features really appeals to me (and the SH101 was my first Roland ever, so I’ve got an attachment to the sound.). Great review.

I love my S-1 so much, I couldn't resist getting the T-8 too. The S-1 is truly an SH-101 on steroids, shrunken down.... I have no doubt that when the T-8 arrives in a few days, it will be equally impressive. This is coming from somebody who's owned and played more than a few other folks vintage analog Roland machines.

I wasn't aware of this synth until it started showing up in my feed. The 101 was a hole in my studio sound, and while I normally prefer real analog the fact that they added the chop and draw features makes this the most unique offering even with synths that cost 2-3x as much. Because of the form factor, it's also light enough that I when I travel for work, I can bring it along with my Digitakt and have a little poly that's studio ready at the fore.

@@LiamKillen I haven't seen anyone call this out yet, but the only drawback that I've seen for this synth is that if you don't turn the effects to "global on," the unit resets the delay and reverb on pattern changes.

Yeah I was a bit dismissive of it at first until I watched a couple of videos on it. Feature and sound wise it punches waaaay above its weight. All the oscillator mod options plus the LFO with motion recording make it a very powerful machine. This paired with a Volca Sample would be fantastic.

I'm not 100 % sure with DJ syncing as i've never tried it.
What is the stand being used to put synth on?

Liam, What is the little riser stand you are using for the S-1?

I got it from Varidock! I have a few custom= stands from them and couldn't recommend them more.

Really great Intro for this cool synth. Quick question. I have noticed a few synths have the thing where the presets are built into the “pattern” but when you do a save does that also save the changed preset and not just just the pattern. I have ruined a few presets on other small synths that way and it drives me crazy. So I guess you have to do a save mayve to a whole different pattern? Is that what needs to happen on this one too ? Like on the pattern you saved. Did it mess up the preset that you said you liked ?

I'm pretty sure that there's a "save all" sort of option which saves all of the above- as opposed to just the pattern, let's say. This is a common thing with other Roland units as well.

Hi Liam. I was wondering if you could help me out. I recently picked up a Roland S-1, and have been trying to connect it to the Keystep 37. I have what I believe to be all of the proper cable connections. TRS type A MIDI adapter. Could use a little help and guidance. Appreciate any info that you can provide. Thanks. I am a bit of a novice when it comes to this stuff.
