● Rich Sound with Full Synth Presence
Development of the SH-32 has involved a variety of approaches to
thoroughly analyze synthesizer sounds in order to realize the “fat,
sharp, clear sound” that is characteristic of analog synths.
To quantify these sound characteristics, various measurements and
blind tests using renowned vintage synths, analog modeling synths,
and other gear were carried out. The findings of such research
formed the basis for designing our new Wave Acceleration Sound
Generator(*), which is capable of the complete realization of the
sound variations and qualities of a synthesizer. This allows you to
produce vintage synth sounds and a wide variety of other
waveforms, all with this one instrument.
The SH-32 synthesizer offers not only the sounds being demanded
on today’s music scene, but also provides the convenient operation
that you get only with a digital unit.
* This is a new approach to sound generation that permits creation of a
wide variety of high-quality waveforms, while featuring numerous
oscillators, something impossible with simple DSP synths.
● Full Freedom to Create Your Own
Unique Sounds
With the architecture of the SH-32’s sound generator, you get two
oscillators, one filter, an amp, and two LFOs for each sound, all
controlled with an analog synth-like interface. The great freedom in
creating sounds presented by this synthesizer means that you are
likely to truly enjoy the sound creation process.
Each of the seven groups of waveforms, SAW, SQUARE, PULSE,
PWM, TRIANGLE/SINE, SPECTRUM and NOISE, which comprise
the foundation for creating sounds, also contains a number of
variation waveforms, each featuring a different character. With a
total of 67 different oscillator waveforms at your fingertips, the SH-
32 makes it possible for you to create sounds unlike any others.
The SH-32 also includes four Rhythm Sets (two Preset and two User)
that feature TR-909/808 and other drum waveforms. With 32
oscillators, far surpassing previous analog modeling synths, and
four-part multitimbral sound, you can create songs that combine
synth parts and rhythm part, all with one machine.
What’s more, the SH-32 is also packed with a variety of useful
features and functions for creating sounds, including a Suboscillator
with subsonic mode (which makes it easy to add more to the low
end), Oscillator Sync, a Ring Modulator, synchronization of the LFO
to the tempo using the TAP button, and more. Whether it be the
sounds of some of the most popular synthesizers, or sounds that
were once very difficult to create using conventional analog and DSP
synths, you can handle them all, since the sound creation potential
you now have at your fingertips is enormous.
● Built-In Effect Functions Help Create
a More Polished Sound
The SH-32 is equipped with internal effects processors that help
make this a complete synthesizer module. You can use effects from
two systems: 35 individual Insertion Effects, including distortion,
phaser, flanger, and other effects, and 10 different kinds of reverb
and delay (loop effects), allowing you to create an even greater
variety of sounds.
● Programmable Arpeggiator Brings
Out the Power in Your Performances
The SH-32 includes an Arpeggiator function, which allows the user
to program Styles. Styles can be input in steps or in real time. In
Performance mode, you can have arpeggios using the synth sounds
played along with rhythm patterns that use TR-909/808 and other
drum waveforms.
In addition, you can easily play a variety of complex chords, like
those used in Trance and Techno music, in parallel by using this
feature in combination with the Chord Memory function, which
allows you to perform prerecorded chords with the press of a single
button.
● Panel Designed for Intuitive
Operation
The SH-32 features an intuitive panel design that lets you
concentrate on creating sounds. For example, knobs are used for the
filter, and sliders for the envelope; in all cases, the most convenient
control for the purpose is used.
In addition, the panel includes thirteen buttons that can be used for
note-entry, much like a keyboard. Using the Preview function, you
can check your sounds over a scale of notes, without having to
connect a MIDI keyboard.
On top of this, the SH-32’s compact desktop design means you can
always have it at hand, ready to use. Use it with PCs, workstations,
keyboards, groove gear and other equipment to bring out the full
potential of this synthesizer, regardless of the application.
