Agreed, especially considering how ridiculously overpriced vintage gear is these days. I have an SH101 I inherited from a friend who passed away, and while I love it for both the sound and sentimental reasons, it would simply would not be worth the price to buy it today when this much less expensive clone gets it so right (obviously collectors are going to want an original, but for performers I would not hesitate to recommend the MS101 over the SH101. When you buy vintage gear, you're also buying decades of potential wear and tear.

It’s notable that only the sh-101 player was able to knock the sound test out of the park. And no, if Roland “did it right” we’d have an all-analog synth. Not a vst plugin in a cheap enclosure.

I design analog and plugin compressors and eq's, so analyzing synth sounds is new to me. I heard the subtle differences, but the only difference that mattered to me (because I *felt* it) was the wobbly-ness of the filter when sweeping resonances over harmonics. Calling it 'wobbly' was an amazing observation that would've exceeded my ability to quantify or describe, but I know I loved the vibe of it.

A good comparison and video. I’d happily take a Behringer. I just want good sounds, and not bothered about watching ‘scope traces or a relative sound difference between this and the original
Your videos are great and you explanation is perfect! Thanks so much!Helping me loads to build my set!! Maybe for those on a budget would be cool to see a comparison between the smaller SH-01A and the MS-101 :)
Thanks for that very Informativ sound Experience !
Smart video, as usual. The only difference I felt was that the no resonance filter sweep seemed a bit more buzzier on the SH, which i loved.
Great video. There was more of a difference than i was expecting. Mainly the filter & VCO. However i've heard bigger differences between different Sh101's side by side. not all of them are the same. Some have more balls!
I've heard quite a few comparisons where they do sound slightly different, but I think this is often because many people are simply putting the controls in the same place and comparing the sound, rather than tweaking the controls to match the sound. I think you did a great job of actually matching their sounds. I think for 99.9% of people, they sound "close enough." The other .1% probably does notice subtle differences because they're THAT familiar with the sound. And that's awesome, I personally think in certain cases the SH sounds SLIGHTLY better... but to me it's not worth the 4x price increase, let alone the hassle of dealing with vintage gear issues. Now, I'd personally love to learn how to repair and modify vintage synths, especially because of the broken HS-60 that is leaning against the wall in my spare bedroom, but unfortunately I've never been able to find anyone willingly sharing any information online about vintage synth repair. If I ever learn how to figure it out for myself, you can bet I'll be making videos if possible to help other people learn more. I don't want these things to completely die off because the people who could repair them refused to share the knowledge.
I owned an SH101 in the 80s and when my band would perform, I’d have to use the batteries because it would hum when plugged in. If the MS doesn’t and the SH still does, then I’d call that a fundamental win for the MS

It's actually caused by a switching power supply. My SH-101 was very sensitive to this, when I used a more expensive power supply it was gone. So that might be helpful 40 years in the past.
Nice video. I would have liked to have heard what you did with the SH-101 at the end on the MS-101 or at least playing something similar.
great.. thats a red one has a good job.. good price .. nice vid loopop , very helpful info
This is a great video - it seems Behringer really did come very close to the SH-101 sound, but... I think the portamento feature (glossed over at the beginning the video) is one of the main things techno producers want, and the MS doesn’t do it right (yet). The lack of an unconditional “always on” glide mode means you can’t spontaneously add some “rubber” to your sequence while it’s playing back. Also, I found the glide knob on the MS-101 goes from “instant” (no glide) to “a bit too slow” - it is obviously a digital control. As it is though, the SH-101 can do much faster portamento than the MS. Hopefully Behringer will resolve these discrepancies in a firmware update! Thanks for the comparison.

I never seemed to come across a really good SH-101 in decent shape for a fair price. I got the Intellijel Atlantis, and LOVED it so much. After a couple of years, I sold all of my eurorack and I miss it terribly. Its one of the few things eurorack that I really wish I still had. There is just something about the oscillator and filter which sound so pleasing to my ears. Can’t wait to grab one of these. Sounds more than close enough for my ears. Also, glad that the noise on the MS is brighter. For me its harder to make use of pink, blue, or brown noise. Gotta be white noise for percussive sounds.
I owned an SH-101 in the eighties. On the basis of this video only the lack of portamento would give me pause for thought if I felt I wanted to go there again. Nice jam on the original at the end of the video BTW. It took me back :-)

Yeah the SH is sort of self-oscillating at frequencies that don't match a harmonic, whereas the MS is only boosting the actual harmonics - probably because the SH's max resonance is higher than that of the MS, but maybe the filter design could influence that too, I don't know.

With JV-1080's catching fire from shitty capacitors that are finally popping, and various other vintage gear reaching the end of their 30-year lives. At $300 for one or $600 for two...you know you get at least another 20 years and you could keep one boxed and shelved as a back-up if the first one fries and consider it a 40-60 year sound investment. Me personally? I'm lucky if I have another 20 years in my life, so the extra $400 I just don't see the appeal. There's tons of issues with chips going bad on older gear across all companies. These replicas/clones/wtf-evers not only allow for an affordable entry for those of us who can't afford to or generally can't justify dumping that kind of money on a piece of vintage gear, nor want to get involved in the immediate upkeep that often comes with said gear. In perfect conditions an SH-101 should last nearly forever. That means never having a single power fluctuation, no gigging, no smoke, rare dust, and only run for as long as it's rated for on the components. How many SH-101's out there have been in such perfect conditions? One? Maybe 2? Pretty much if isn't unopened, it's lifetime is unknown and being 30 years now, it's sitting in it's nursing home. I'd grab me a clone. Now, I'm off to order fuses that blew on my old Ensoniq.

To my opinion, as many said, they sound ''the same'' when you consider the electric imperfection of pots and sliders / electronic. so basically, they may very well be considered approximately the same

Hi Loopop. Love your videos, especially the comparison ones such as this. I was wondering why the Roland Boutique was left out of this comparison and the other concerning the 303. The reason I am asking is because I feel my true choice is actually between these Behringers and the Roland Boutiques ( I can’t speak for others here but I certainly can’t afford the original models ). I find the 303 comparison had room the TB-03 in there because of the more limited nature of 303 usage. 👍👍👍 Fun stuff!

Thanks very much! I agree that it would have been great to compare the Boutique too but unfortunately I don't have one and couldn't get it in time (for the 303 either). Regarding the 101 boutique, I tried it once standalone and I think it sounds great. Since it's polyphonic I'm sure any nuanced differences would be irrelevant compared to the flexibility of being polyphonic and I'd go with it unless you're an "analog purist"
Hey! Does anyone know if there's a way to quantize the triggering of another saved sequence whilst playing a previous one? That is, whilst you're playing one sequence, are you able to then choose another one that will play after the final step of the previous pattern has finished, instead of immediately when you trigger the pattern? The above description is how the TD-3 works and I wonder if there is a mode to do the same thing on the MS-101. This is with the intention of choosing between different patterns during live performance. Thanks!
For me the best part of the Roland SH-101 is the speed and shape of the envelopes. The Behringer MS-101 still seems well worth buying though.
Coupla Behringer ADA-8000's here, six years old. One is completely dead, the other is dying. Both always ran very hot. Both have scratchy pots, these days you have to work the hell out of them to get any audio at all. Above 3/4 preamp gain, you might as well have a fuzzbox in the chain. They were cheap, they worked well til they quit or started screwing up, and now.... I have a fair bit of critical wiring passing thru where a dead device used to live, soooi.. I can spend ANOTHER $200 on a new and improved box that is likely to die before I do... or, rewire a big piece of my rig, or, just leave the hole and work around it. Thanks Uli. I knew I was was buying low end, no sweat, I don't always need great conversion. I DIDN'T KNOW I was only renting low end, that they would die before I even finished wiring the rig. The Octapre I bought at the same time cost $600, sounds good, the pots aren't scratchy, way less distortion at high fain and... ...it STILL WORKS FINE.
A quick tip, on the MS1 you can lock the accent active by double clicking (during regular playing)

What do you think is closer to the original, MS-101 of B-Model D?
I've had 3 different SH-101's and they all had subtle differences in tones One of the grey's sounded the best to my ears while the other grey and the red one sounded good but not as great.
Well, I completely failed the blind test. Thought I was hearing different ones when it was really the same one, and vice versa. What I learned from the test is the reason I love analog... it's not 100% flawless so every key press is a unique sound wave even if the settings haven't changed. But yeah, I'd definitely go with the Behrigner version even if the were the same price. Practically identical sound, but it has a fancier sequencer and those extra FM knobs. Just wish it came in gray because the industrial look of the old one really appeals to me.

Can anyone tell me which Spectrum Analyzer app he is using in this video. Cheers from a fan!

A long jam with the MS-101 at the end would have been nice
Are the keys on the MS full-size or are they slightly smaller than the SH?
I bet other people may have commented but it would of been nice to hear the SH-01a in there too. Even though it’s digital. I realize it’s not the point of the video, but I’m curious how all three match up.
My sh101 sounded very different after a service but strangly i liked its out of tune and degraded sound before. It has tubutec mod on now so 120seq on each key extra. Ms sounds like a bargain i wonder how servicable it is?
sh sounds more round on my focal speakers :) Especcially the pwm. The filter sweep without resonance is smoother. While traveling the harmonics the ms distortes the harmonics in high frequenties.
I'd imagine they have pot adjustment in on the circuit. A little adjustment to PW and Res could get it closer.
the end of the video was hilarious :)

I'm curious about using eq to enhance the resonance of the MS. Anyone tried this. I don't know if it would work. But I've had good results adding a bit more sizzle to my RD-6's hihats by adding a bit of hi eq on my mixer
Excellent comparison. Did you ever consider doing one for the System-1 vs the SH101 and MS-1 (101) (and maybe the SH-01 Boutique?). Used to own a 101 in the 90s, recently picked up a System-1 and it's, to my ears, superb... but I'd love to hear a true impartial side by side

Thanks! No plans for that currently...
Interesting comparison, could you identify the oscilloscopes used in your testing. I would very much like to have one.

"its lighter, though that may mean its not as sturdy as the MS. i dont know, isak would not agree to a drop test" LMAO

I like a little bass with my resonance.
Does the sequencer on the MS-101 send midi information?
Great jam at the end , can I ask what effects are in use .

Thanks! Just Comet Reverb from Polyverse on the “Goldilocks” preset
and the youtube ad you just skipped...oops. I used to have an SH-101 it is long gone but I am looking to replace it with the Behringer MS-1 (MS-101).
Surprising. There’s seemingly less pole spreading on the MS filter, it’s more accurate and you hear discrete overtones resonating, the SH is way more blurry. And the raw pulse /square wave on each sounds different to me. Is the MS a little jittery or something?
Thanks. How about trying to emulate the programmed legato in the SH-101's sequencer with the Behringer? As with the TB-303 much of what is done on he 101 is connected to the sequencer.

This would make a good test for the Behringer. kzread.info/dash/bejne/d3hhzsWGn8quqLA.html
I can't tell the difference between the sound but I can tell the difference between the sequencers. edit:Who is Isak and where can listen to him play the SH-101 some more?

Yo many points during this video I was like, "when is he gonna play the same thing on the other board?" And you were... Shit is eerily similar
The big difference is in the filter sweep. Watch how all of the harmonics come up around the fundamental harmonic as the filter comes down in the SH. This gives it that snarl. The MS's harmonics below the resonance do not change at all. Its a clean sweep. I like the old snarl better, but would i pay that much more for it? Maybe if i didn't already have a classic analog. But for $300 this is great.
Thanks Isak! ;)
Very intresting and very nice clone! That decay envelope can be better if you change it with same better type capacitor.
"דיי"?? אתם ישראלים?!!!???? יופי של ערוץ!!!! תמשיכו עם העבודה המעולה! :) מקווה לשמוע ביקורת על ה- Novation Bass Station 2 :)
About the envelope. You showed the maximum release time, but I feel it would be more interesting to compare fast envelopes with the filter, to see if there is any difference in character and 'snappiness' of the sound.

@MacXpert74 of course, that's the primary strength of the synth! Horrible "oversight" in this and all other behringer vs orig 101 comparisons.
cool screens you have on your desk
It's so weird, before the settings change I only got one right, after the settings change I only got one wrong. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm curious to why you didn't play with the MS at the end and only the SH?

I gave it back and the jam was just an off the cuff thing recorded a couple of days later - would have loved to jam with the MS too
Holy shit! Awesome job Behringer.
You forgot to test for the self-resonating filter as oscillator with keyboard tracking, my favourite SH-101 sound! Can you please try the MS-101 like this? Turn down all the oscillators as well as the noise source, make the filter self-resonate and turn up the keyboard tracking to full.

Sorry I had to give it back - I will try it next time I meet my MS friend - yeah there are plenty of things I didn’t test - I tried to focus on the most important stuff but would be cool to try that too
And the question is did Behringer do a good job "getting inspired" :p
Can the velocity sensitivity on the MS-101 be turned off?
