Resumen del manual


. There are 17 sliders that control envelopes, etc.; four large knobs that control filter, etc.; four smaller knobs for selecting effects, etc.; 49 self-illuminating buttons; six buttons and a 3-digit LED display. The rear panel contains all the basic connections: stereo outputs, MIDI In and Out, a headphone output, footswitch jack and power switch. The compact, portable design makes it perfect for desktop use or for in a DJ booth, while its retro-styled interface lets you tweak and program sounds with ease. The SH-32 contains the following: . 2 oscillators, a filter, amp and two LFOs per sound. While being fully digital on the inside, you have the ability, using knobs and sliders, to create sounds using an analog-style interface. . 67 oscillator waveforms and 4 rhythm sets. Handles layering and multitimbral sound creation with 32-voice polyphony and 4-part multitimbral operation. . 2 independent effects processors: 10 types of reverb/delay and 35 insertion effects. . Built-in programmable arpeggiator with chord memory function.

These buttons include those for sound editing with which the current status is shown using three types, or “stages”, of indication: off, illuminating, and flashing. This allows you to edit intuitively from the front panel without having to navigate through a hierarchical interface. Thirteen buttons at the the front panel function as a virtual single-octave when the Preview button is pressed. This feature allows you to verify sounds and play performances without having to keyboard. ————————————————————— Wave Acceleration Synthesis ————————————————————— Let’s explore some of the actual sounds while examining some features. There are two basic ways that sounds can be saved on the SH-32. One is called “Patch” mode and the other is “Performance” mode, in which up to four patches (including rhythm sets) can be overlapped and played at the same time. You can use either mode, depending on your needs. Let’s explore Patch mode first. Listen to some of the preset sounds using the virtual keyboard on the front panel. You will probably notice how fat and powerful the notes sound. You might be wondering how this is possible. When designing the SH-32, Roland developed a proprietary sound generating system called “Wave Acceleration Synthesis.” Wave Acceleration is a new way to generate sound that was developed by studying famous vintage synthesizers and analog modeling synths. The results were then quantified so that Roland could put the best of these qualities into the SH-32. Words like “fat”, “distinct” and “cutting” all come to mind when playing the presets. And these sounds are designed to fit in any mix—no need for extensive EQ and outboard effects. This punchy sound can also be found in the built-in rhythm sets. The SH-32 contains four kits (two preset and two user) with waveforms taken from Roland’s classic TR-808 and -909 Rhythm Composers. We’re sure you’ll notice how rich the bass presence is in not only the kick drum, but even in the toms. ————————————————————— Oscillator ————————————————————— Let’s take a closer look at Wave Acceleration Synthesis by investigating the waveforms contained in the oscillator section. For those who don’t know, oscillators are what determine the basic characteristic of a sound. The SH-32 includes seven basic waveforms: saw, square, pulse, PWM, triangle/sine, Spectrum, and Noise. These also include variations capable of producing a variety of sound characteristics (Figure 2), translating into over 67 waveforms total! And each waveform has that fat analog feel, so you’ll never experience the dull, lifeless sounds that result when sampling an analog synthesizer. (You will notice this even with the PWM and Noise waveforms.) But don’t take our word for it, let your own ears be the judge! 2 1. Oscillator Section The SH-32 includes two independent oscillators. The basic waveforms are saw, square, pulse, PWM, triangle/sine, Spectrum, and Noise. Each waveform also includes several variations (except for PWM), so be sure to check them out when auditioning the SH-32. Pitch can be varied in octaves (Octave button), in semitones over two octaves with the Pitch Coarse slider, and over ±50 cents using the Pitch Fine slider. Also, the sub oscillator (SUB OSC), which is used for adding a sub-octave element, contains a Subsonic mode for adding a special frequency component for ultra-thick bass sounds. There is also an Oscillator Sync function, a ring modulator, and a pitch envelope, which changes the pitch of a sound over time. By pressing the OSC1 and OSC2 buttons at the same time, both become the editing t...
