The Roland Boutique SH-01A is a compact and faithful recreation of the classic SH-101, one of Roland’s most iconic monophonic synthesizers. Using advanced ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) modeling, it accurately reproduces the original’s raw, punchy bass, cutting leads, and quirky sequences while expanding its capabilities with four-voice polyphony, chord mode, and unison stacking. The hands-on interface stays true to the SH-101’s simple, slider-based design, making real-time sound manipulation fast and intuitive. With a built-in 100-step sequencer, arpeggiator, and external clock sync, it’s perfect for both performance and studio use.
While preserving the signature SH-101 sound, the SH-01A adds modern enhancements like expanded memory for saving patches and sequences, full MIDI and USB-C connectivity, and battery operation for portability. Whether used as a standalone desktop module or paired with the K-25m keyboard, it offers a flexible setup for any workflow. From deep analog-style basslines to shimmering arpeggios, the SH-01A delivers the unmistakable sound and feel of the original SH-101 with added versatility for modern production and live performance.
