Product Detail
The Roland Cloud SH-2 is an exact software replica of the 1979 classic SH-2 synthesizer. It's famous for its raw vintage tone. With a dual VCO and sub - oscillator setup, it can create super - fat basses, edgy leads, and wild effects. In the late 1970s, while synth manufacturers were focusing on polyphony and patch memory, Roland launched the basic yet iconic SH - 2. Compared to the Jupiter - 4 released around the same time, the SH - 2 was more conservative in functionality, but its three - VCO equivalent configuration can produce extremely warm and fat analog synth tones, beloved by synth fans for its earth - shaking bass sounds. The SH - 2 software uses Roland's deep knowledge of the original to capture every detail, from the self - oscillating VCF to the envelope characteristics. It even has new features like expandable 64' VCO range for ultra - deep bass, two ADSR envelopes, modern effects, auto - bend with reverse action support, and a tempo - syncing arpeggiator. It also supports the Plug - Out format, allowing transfer between hardware and software, and can be used as a standalone synth without a computer. You can use hardware knobs and sliders for hands - on control in your DAW.
Using the Roland Cloud SH - 2 is easy. First, install the software on your device. If you have a Roland hardware synth like the System - 8 or System - 1, you can use the Plug - Out feature. Just connect your hardware and transfer sounds between the software and hardware. To create different sounds, play around with the dual VCO, sub - oscillator, and the new features like the expandable VCO range for deep bass. When adjusting parameters, you'll notice unique tonal changes similar to an analog synth. For effects, use the reverb, delay, and bit - crusher to add a modern touch. When using the arpeggiator, set the tempo to sync it with your music. Remember, when you're done using the software, close it properly to avoid any issues. For maintenance, keep your software updated to get the best performance. If you're using the hardware integration, make sure your hardware is clean and stored in a safe place. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
