Operating layout that’s faithful to synthesizer basics
The operating panel is laid out in a way that helps you intuitively understand how a synthesizer produces sound.
If you’re using a synthesizer for the first time to create sound you’ll find the SH-201 easy to learn, and if you’re
familiar with the basics of analog synthesizers you’ll be able to start using it immediately even without the
owner’s manual.

Audio input jack that’s great for DJ performance
The SH-201 is equipped with audio input jacks for connecting your digital audio player or an external sampler.
You can modify these sounds in real time by turning the knobs to control the dedicated filter that’s built-in. You
can also use an external audio source as the oscillator for the sound generation section, and use the keyboard or
the arpeggiator to apply rhythm variation to the sound (p. 49).

Enhanced linkage with your computer
The USB connector supports both USB-MIDI connection and USB audio input/output. The SH-201 comes with
dedicated editor software that provides full editing capability for creating more complex sounds or for
programming the internal arpeggiator, as well as librarian software for saving and managing your own sounds
(p. 56). The dedicated editor is also provided as a plug-in version that you can run from within your VSTi-
compatible DAW.

Use the D Beam controller for more visual performances
The SH-201’s D Beam controller lets you produce dramatic changes in the sound simply by moving your hand
above the sensor. You can use this to control a wide range of the settings that are assigned to the panel knobs. The
D Beam can add a more intensely visual element to your stage performance (p. 20).

Two-tone structure for creating diverse and expressive sounds
While the SH-201 is a mere 5.2 kg in weight, it packs the sound-generating power of two analog synthesizers,
letting you play upper and lower tones simultaneously. You can split the two tones to different areas of the
keyboard, or layer them to create rich and complex sounds (p. 46).
