E13 – SH 101 Saw
Roland's SH-101 was pre-MIDI, pre-digital, and small. But it packed
a powerful punchy sound, was simple to use, and best of all, you
could strap it around your neck and join the guitar players up at the
front of the stage! The SH-101 featured a one oscillator design, with
the addition of a "sub-oscillator" which added some lower octave
support to the sound. Additionally, the SH-101 sported a simple
arpeggiator – thus, this sound includes the arpeggiator as well.

E14 – Chick's Odyssey
Pity the poor ARP Odyssey. It always ran a distant second to the
Minimoog, both in terms of looks and, some would argue, sound. As
Julian Colbeck states in his book Keyfax Omnibus Collection, ARP
always had to do things a little differently. The Moog had knobs, the
ARP had sliders. The Moog had a pitch wheel, the ARP had a pitch
knob.
