Features:
- VCF FM:
Amazing new sounds are now added through this feature. Six FM sources are available.
- LFO Clock Input:
Syncing the Arpeggiator and LFO to external drum modules and sequencers is now possible.
As well, interesting feedback loops can be created.
- PW Modulation Source Selection:
Now you can choose a pulse width source. It is independent from the LFO's waveform setting.
OSC sources are included.
- Pulse width to near 0%:
Pulse width effects are now made more extreme and powerful.
- External Audio Input:
The ability to do FM of the VCF by an external audio source or to simply route a signal into the
audio path is now provided. Don't forget feedback loops!!
- VCF CV Input
Just plug in a foot pedal or a CV from a midi converter and your SH-101 will sing!
- LFO Rate Scalar
Ever hear a bell sound out of a 101? Try this on Hi!! Want a really slow sweep...you got it too!
- 1/4" CV/Gate In/Out Jacks
Aren't we all tired of those miniphono plugs? They should only exist on walkmans.

- Page 2 NOVA-MOD Details: Pulse width to near 0% By closing the pulsewidth to a spike, new sounds can be attained by the SH-101. This “spike” wave source is very useful for brightening a bass patch. (A bass patch, with only the sub Osc waveform assigned, can be brightened, but not raised in pitch, by adding a little pulsewidth signal with a manual setting of less than 1% duty cycle.) In another application, in which only full ramp waveform is assigned, manually raising and lowering the spike...

Page 6: Calibration Procedure
Calibration Procedure This calibration is very easy to do. All that you need is a digital voltmeter capable of reading DC with an accuracy of 1mV. It is highly recommended to connect the voltmeter to a 1/8” plug. (best done by sacrificing a cable with 1/8”... - Page 7 good ears, you may be able to adjust VR-6 without an instrument. (use keys G3 and G4 if you use a guitar tuner that reads only EADGBE notes) Note :you may have to adjust VR-7 slightly to retune. Unfortunately VR-6 adjusts the width AND the overall tuning.
