An Overview of the SH-4d

An Overview of the SH-4d
The SH-4d is a tabletop synthesizer that lets you switch between a variety of oscillator models to intuitively create a wide range of
sounds.
A variety of options for creating sounds
The new interpretive oscillator model featured on this unit lets you create a wide array of sounds, from classic synthesizers to
modern wavetable synthesizer sounds.
Also, the rhythm part lets you build new and original kits by combining and processing a rich selection of built-in waveforms.
Step sequencer
There are four tone parts and one rhythm part, and each part features a step sequencer.
You can input sequences using a variety of methods like TR-REC, real-time input and step input, and control all the parts at the
same time.
Aside from recording notes, you can also record or playback the knob motions at the same time.
Phrase creation
Besides a standard arpeggiator, this unit features unique functionality like D-MOTION and VISUAL ARPEGGIO, offering stimulating
modes of creative expression for both musicians and producers.

How the Sound Module is Structured

Pattern
A "pattern" contains step sequencer data, settings for all parts (including tone number, pan, volume and so on), pattern effect
settings, arpeggiator settings and more, all in one place.
By preparing several patterns in which you've stored your favorite settings, you can simultaneously change numerous settings
simply by switching patterns.
Each SH-4d can store a total of 128 patterns, organized as eight banks of 16 patterns.
