Panel descriptions
Top Panel
This section lets you
produce an arpeggio
simply by holding down a
chord on the keyboard.
This section lets you
record your performance
on the SH-201.
TEMPO Button/TAP
Button
Here you can specify the
tempo of the arpeggio and
the recorder.
AUDIO FILTER
(p. 50)
This lets you vary the brightness
of the sound from an audio source
connected to the INPUT jacks, or
add a distinctive tonal character.
Here you can play sound from a
device connected to the INPUT jacks.
You can also cancel a vocal or other
sound that is localized at the center of
audio you input.
These buttons shift the keyboard’s pitch range up or down.
Portamento creates a smooth transition in pitch between two notes.
Use this button to simulate the performance techniques of
monophonic instruments.
This button lets you layer two different sounds that have been created
by the OSC 1/2, MIX/MOD, FILTER, and AMP sections, or play two
sounds independently in the left and right areas of the keyboard.
UPPER Button/LOWER Button (p. 46)
Use these buttons to select the tone you want to edit using the panel
controls.
MASTER VOL Knob
(p. 16)
This sets the volume of the
entire SH-201.
Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever (p. 18)
While you play, move this lever to the left or right to
vary the pitch.
Move the lever away from yourself to apply vibrato.
You can move your hand
above this sensor to control
the pitch or volume.
This is the creative core, where the process of
sound production on the synthesizer begins.
It generates the waveform that determines the
character of the sound, and determines the pitch.
This creates time-varying changes in pitch, such as
the subtle pitch deviation that occurs when you
begin blowing a note on a brass instrument, or the
dramatic pitch swoop of an electronic drum.
