There’s a flexible drum synthesizer too, with rich tone-shaping capabilities for creating custom kits from scratch.</p> <p><strong>CLASSIC</strong></p> <p>Inspired by legendary Roland SH synths, the SH-4d Model lets you build thick vintage analog-style sounds with up to four different waveforms. Or choose the SH-3D Model, which swaps an extra LFO for the fourth part. There’s also a jammable Chord Model for creating complex chord changes with single notes and simple slider movements.</p> <p><strong>FUTURE</strong></p> <p>Craft crisp modern textures with the two-operator Cross FM Model. Develop complex morphing tones with the powerful Wavetable Model. Or use the Drawing Model to design your own waveforms and build sounds never heard before.</p> <p><strong>MODULATED</strong></p> <p>Fashion bold metallic textures with the Ring Model, which offers deep sound-shaping via crossfade parameters, waveshapes, tuning, and more. And with the Sync Model, it’s easy to create oscillator sync tones with evolving harmonic richness and powerful envelope control.</p> <p><strong>LEGACY</strong></p> <p>The SH-4d also comes loaded with influential voices from Roland’s historic past. Create classic analog flavors with the authentic sounds of the SH-101 and JUNO-106 Models. And anchor your tracks with the PCM Model and its large selection of sample-based sounds from our historic library.</p> <p><strong>RHYTHM</strong></p> <p>The dedicated rhythm part features 49 preset kits and 64 slots for storing your own. You get 26 instruments in a kit, each with up to two layered waveforms, dedicated EQs, and a slate of synthesis tools for shaping sounds to perfection.</p> <h3 id="toc_1">SOUND DESIGN</h3> <p><strong>SONIC EXPLORER</strong></p> <p>The SH-4d puts everything you need for professional sound design at your fingertips, with instantly accessible controls and a clever, dynamic interface that lets you work at the speed of your imagination.</p> <p><strong>FULLY LOADED PANEL</strong></p> <p>Craft tones and perform in the moment with 32 knobs, four sliders, and a massive array of multi-function buttons. The LCD, sliders, and buttons automatically reconfigure their functions to follow the selected mode, eliminating menu-dive roadblocks that slow your creative flow.</p> <p><strong>GRAB-AND-GO SYNTH CONTROLS</strong></p> <p>Whether building tones or creating patterns, the Filter, Amp, and LFO sections are always ready to shape what you’re working on. The newly developed ladder Filter offers multi-mode operation with interactive Drive and Resonance, full envelope control, and an independent HPF to instantly tighten any sound. The Amp section provides ADSR and quick level adjustment, while the deep LFO section features numerous waveform types, fade, filter, pitch, and more.</p> <p><strong>BUILD SOUNDS FAST</strong></p> <p>The dynamic OSC section puts the most important creative parameters within easy reach. Shape sounds from scratch by starting from a clean slate. Or call up preset and user tone libraries for each Model and begin tweaking from there.</p> <p><strong>ENTER THE MATRIX</strong></p> <p>With the powerful Matrix section, you can use LFOs, envelopes, or external MIDI sources to modulate Model parameters. Easily set assignments by grabbing knobs and dive deep into detailed settings via the intuitive menu structure.</p> <p><strong>MUSIC THAT MOVES</strong></p> <p>Among its many tricks, the SH-4d features built-in motion sensors that allow you to pick up the synth and tweak sounds with physical movements as you perform. Use D-Motion to control two assignable parameters for the X/Y axis. Or call up the unique Visual Arpeggio to shape note patterns via fun interactive displays.</p> <h3 id="toc_2">PATTERN SEQUENCER</h3> <p><strong>MULTITIMBRAL SEQUENCING</strong></p ...
