This is a demo of the Roland SH-5 analog synthesizer, a vintage synth classic from 1975.
via AnalogAudio1:
The Roland SH-5 is one of the best compact monophonic synthesizers from Roland.
It has almost everything, that you could wish from a monophonic synth: 2 VCOs, 1 resonant multimode filter (highpass/bandpass/lowpass), 1 bandpass filter, 2 LFOs, Sample & Hold, ring modulator, oscillator synchronisation, noise generator (white and pink noise), ADSR and AR envelopes. Also there is a nice signal mixer with routing capabilities.

This is terrific – thanks for the reminder. My older brother bought one in 1981 or 1982, and we did a few home recordings on a 2-channel Fostex and experimented with tape delays, slowing down the tape, etc. It was one hell of a piece, and I owe much to the SH-5 for making it easy to work with the software synths in Propellerhead Reason.
It looks very nice!!
And sounds even better. I never got chance to try one out unfortunately :/
