phobium Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I assume a lot of you enjoy the sound of an SH-101, it's pretty cool isn't it? But I just found out that Roland has been fucking with us all the time ... Watch this : You don't see it? Take a closer look ... Roland tried to convince us that it was cool and hip to wear the synth with a guitar strap, but in fact ... the synth spells LOL-HS when it's worn like that. So when playing it like that, you're pretty LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 The most retarded way to play an instrument ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin OOOD Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 what is this thing he has in left hand?It's the 'Modulation Grip' - gives you access to pitch-bend and LFO modulation amount withough having you use the controls on the synth itself.

Spiritual Carnage Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I think he looks pretty retarded. It's like he's completely empty, so I don't think there's much for him to express even though he now has the freedom to do so. I mean doesn't it look like he's trying to take a chord?! Only a somewhat retarded person would do that on a monophonic synth... Edit: Btw, I got the modulation grip too for my sh-101. I think it's a little cool to have though I really doubt I'll ever use it (and certainly not now that I'm afraid I'd appear just as retarded as this guy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Bill Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I saw a guy playing with that stuff. I burst into tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a somewhat retarded person would play every note of a riff with the same finger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a somewhat retarded person would play every note of a riff with the same finger...Yeah well, I guess you're right, it just looked like a chord at first glance. Maybe he isn't that stupid after all. His eyes looks a bit stoned though, so mebbe he's high.. Enough about him. SH-101 is a great synth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His eyes looks a bit stoned though, so mebbe he's high.. Enough about him. SH-101 is a great synth And even if it is a chord SH-101 can play them as an arpeggio (up, down or up & down).

Otto Matta Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Check the position of his thumb... he's playing a scale. Only a somewhat retarded person would play every note of a riff with the same finger...Looks like C major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin OOOD Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Actually I take it back; I can't find the scale that makes that hand-position necessary. Shit... how sad are we, discussing the melody being played in an advertising photo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Actually I take it back; I can't find the scale that makes that hand-position necessary.If it is indeed a scale it's C Major. Edit: No, I'm wrong. You're right, Colin, there really is no scale where the thumb and forefinger go like that. It would be the thumb and the pinkie finger, wouldn't it?

needle ninja Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Roland re-released the SH101 and it sounds good to me, but it is very poor build quality so I didn't get it. Still wonder if I should though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, Colin, there really is no scale where the thumb and forefinger go like that. It would be the thumb and the pinkie finger, wouldn't it? It would be thumb and middle or 4th finger, with a few exceptions for scales with a lot of black notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike A Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 how do you know he's playing anything at all? the unit seems to be turned off to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It would be thumb and middle or 4th finger, with a few exceptions for scales with a lot of black notes. I was taught to play the first five notes with the five fingers starting with the thumb, then cross under the pinkie with the thumb to play the sixth note, then forefinger and middle-finger to complete the ascending scale. Descending, the same in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Descending, the same in reverse. Try this: (thumb = 1, pinkie = 5) One octave - up: 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 down 5 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 --- cross under after/with the third finger More than one octave - up: 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 etc. down 5 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 etc. --- alternate crossing with 3rd and 4th fingers.
