i agree mate - but there is a fine line here......

some people just cant handle confrontation...
...and others thrive on it.

which of the two gets the outcome they desire? unfortunately that's life.

i believe its all about finding that happy medium 8)

The SH101 is one of the nicest sounding 1 osc analog mono's out there. Nice rich sounding waveforms....classic Roland filter. VERY good for clear rubbery basses. Snappy envelops.....versatile synth.

Alot of people use the 101 for 303 acid bass (funny but true). I highly recommend this synth. However, for about ?100 more you could pick a Pro-One or Mono-Poly. The P1 and MP are in a different league in terms of girth, dirt and versatility. Forget minimoogs.....go for P1's every time.

Ill email you a few sounds....

hows the availability on the pro one/monopoly DS?

Well here in the UK I use www.sospubs.co.uk or www.rlmusic.co.uk to source old analog synths. Availability is good. For people in australia....Id say you should go look at Japanese specialist dealers or online auctions...

There are alot of SH101's, Jupiters and Mono-Poly's floating around over there. Here back in the UK they are a little lighter on the ground. We tend to get more of the American manufacturers i.e. Sequential.

its too damn expensive here
not worth the 400 euro they usualy ask for it.

Since i only produce music on an amateur/hobby basis i would say that all my music equipment are toys (including my Virus) and boy do i love playing with my toys (especially my Virus) :D

If you produce music professionally the toys become tools.

* The only thing that changes when boys become men is the price of their toys *

Well put Onkel!!!

SH101, wicked little mono. Chunky bass and really intersting real time control. I see them selling all the time over here - I wish I bought one when they were cheap, but recently the price has jumped here. :cry:

How much are you getting it for?

The only thing I've heard that goes wrong with them is tunning. This is usually related to the power switch in some way (don't ask me how though).

I think the sh 101 is a wicked little mono synth..

Any one heard of Joy Kitikonti, writes more on the tech/trance stuff..
The track Joy Energizer is a complete egsample of what the sh 101 can do :)

Its by far the best synth for full LFO efx..

I do belive it was used by DJ Isaak for on the edge, sample a lfo stab cut it in half and you will get the sound he uses :)

im not a big fat of that commercial music
but joy said that track was done almost completly on the nord lead.
