Roland Cloud SH-2 Virtual Instrument – Lifetime Key.

Description

Here’s What Roland say About the Cloud SH-2 Virtual Instrument:

The SH-2 Software Synthesizer is an authentic sonic reproduction of Rolands classic SH-2 synthesizer from 1979. Renowned for its raw vintage tone, the SH-2s dual VCO plus sub-oscillator configuration dishes out devastatingly fat basses, edgy leads, and wild effects.

Party Like Its 1979

In the late 1970s, synthesizers were undergoing a significant transition with the development of polyphony and onboard patch memory. As the worlds synth manufacturers raced to develop these new technologies, Roland launched a seemingly basic monophonic synthesizerthe now-classic SH-2.

The Place for Bass

Released around the same time as Rolands pioneering JUPITER-4, the SH-2s functionality was conservative by comparison. But its configuration of two VCOs and a sub-oscillator essentially gave it three VCOs, making it capable of extremely fat and warm analog synth tones. To this day, many synth aficionados feel it produces the most earth-shaking, bone-rattling synth bass sounds of all time.

Plug In Your Own SH-2

The SH-2 software leverages Rolands deep knowledge of the original units to faithfully capture every fine detail, right down to the interaction between the individual circuits. Everything has been reproduced exactly, from the self-oscillating VCF to the attack and decay characteristics of the steep envelope. The originals unique harmonic makeup and pitch wavering are present, as are behaviours that occur only in analog circuitry, like the subtle effect on tonality when parameters unrelated to the actual tone are adjusted. There are even some new features that were not available on the original.

Hardware Integration

The SH-2 also supports our PLUG-OUT format for extended operation with Roland hardware synths like the SYSTEM-8 or the smaller SYSTEM-1. Transfer sounds back and forth between the hardware and software, and PLUG-OUT directly to the hardware synth to create a standalone SH-2 that goes anywhere and doesnt require a computer. You can also use the hardwares knobs and sliders for hands-on control when the plug-in is hosted in your DAW.
