1.
POWER SWITCH
Push the
Power
switch
and
the
LED
{light
em'tttir>g
diode)
will
light,
indicating the
SH-1
is
on
NOTE:
It
requires
about
five
minutes
for
the SH-1
circuits
to completely
stabilize.
Keep
this
point
in
mind when
using the
SH-1 on
stage or
in
recording
sessions.
2.
OUTPUT LEVEL
Set
this
switch to
L,
M,
or
H
according to
the input
sensitivity
of the amplifier used.
Set to
L
or
M
for an ordinary
guitar
amplifier and to
H
for
an audio amplifier
or
mixer.
3.
OUTPUT
Connect
to guitar amplifier,
mixer, or
audio
amplifier.
If
you
use
an effects unit
like
an echo chamber, connect
it
between
the output
jack
and
the
amplifier.
When
using
audio
amplifiers
such
as
those
in
home
stereo
systems, use caution with the
volume
control because the
synthesizer
is
capable
of
generating
sound
levels high
enough
to
destroy the speakers.
4.
PHONES
OUTPUT LEVEL
This switch
changes
the output
level at
the
PHONES
jack. Set
it
at
the
position to
suit
the
sensitivity
of the
headphones you
use.
5.
PHONES JACK
Connect headphones
to this jack.
Use
headphones
designed for
normal
home
stereo
systems.
Roland RH-1 headphones

are
suited for this purpose.
The
output
level
from
this
jack
is
constant,
inde-
pendent of the
TOTAL VOLUME
setting;
therefore,
you can
turn
down
the
volume
from
the speaker
when
adjusting sounds
with the
headphones. This
is
very con-
venient
for setting
sounds on
stage.
6.
EXT
SIG
INPUT
LEVEL
This
is a level
changeover
switch
for
the
external input.
Set to
H
for
microphone, to
M
or
H
for
an
electric or electronic instru-
ment.
When
connecting
a
tape recorder or
other audio
devices, set
to
L.
If
the output
level
is
low even
when
the
EXT
SIG
control
on
the
AUDIO MIXER
is
set
to
maximum,
set
the
EXT
SIG
INPUT
switch
a step higher.
If
the
sound
is
dis-
torted
by
excessive input,
change to
a
step lower.
7.
EXT
SIG
INPUT
Connect
external sources
such
as
a
micro-
phone,
electric
guitar,
electric
piano, or
strings
to this
jack.
As
the SH-1 incorporates
an envelope
follower, the
VCF
can be controlled by
the
level
of the
signal
from
the external
source to
use
the
SH-1
as a
kind of
effects
unit like
automatic wah.
When
connecting
the
strings
such as the
Roland RS-202,
connect
the gate
output
also to
make
it
possible to control the
envelope generator
of the
SH-1 from
the
strings
keyboard.
With
this setting,
the
VCF
can
be activated
on
brass
chords producing sounds
like
a

polyphonic
synthesizer.
8.
CV OUTPUT
This jack outputs the control voltage
from
the
SH-1
keyboard.
Connect to the
CV
input
of
an external synthesizer or
the
MC-8 MicroComposer
to control
such
devices
with the SH-1 keyboard.
9.
GATE OUTPUT
The
gate
output from
the
SH-1 keyboard
can be taken from
this
jack.
Connect
to
the
gate input of an external
synthesizer or
the
MC-8 MicroComposer
for
control of
such
devices
with
the
SH-1 keyboard.
10.
CV
INPUT
In the
same way
as
the
Gate input, control
voltages
from
external sources
can be
connected
to
this
jack.
When
connecting external controi voltages
to control
the SH-1, be
sure
to
set
the
KEY
MODE
switch to
EXT
position. (See
page
8,
No.
2).
11.
GATE INPUT
This
jack receives gate pulses
from sources
such
as
the
VK-6
or
VK-9
Organ, the
Model 104 (System
100) or
Model 71 7
(System 700) Analog Sequencer, the
MC-8
MicroComposer,
the
RS-202
String
Synthe-
sizer, etc.
12.
TRIG INPUT
This jack
receives
external trigger pulses.
When
a
+15V
pulse
is
fed to this jack,
the
SH-1
gate
is
triggered.
