No there isn’t, the problem exists the exact same way on the GAIA which share the same synth engine. You can’t really fix aliasing since it’s driven by how the DSP in these devices deal with numbers.
That’s a sweet gift.
Embrace it, use it, create with it!
I frickin love my SH-32. The look, the sound, its legit knob-per-function interface. It’s all great!
It’s easily the most characherful VA I own. It’s the (last?) great example of Roland’s experimentation with “Wave Acceleration” synthesis, which is their way of saying there aren’t oscillators in there. It’s actually playing back delicately tuned multisamples for its waveforms. This not only gives it a “sound”, but was also a good excuse for Roland to throw a full set of 808 and 909 samples on there as well.
These combined with what I think is still the most impressive arp I’ve seen in hardware make the SH-32 a techno beast. This was the only way I used it for a while. But then the Soundsauca pack linked above really opened my eyes to its possibilities as a dusty ambient instrument (that pack is a must-have for any SH-32 owner, IMHO). A surprisingly flexible little box.
The fader, when swept slowly with the knob, does have audible stepping. When sweeping slow like that though, better just to do it with an LFO, and that does not step. Or embrace it as part of the sound! That works, too.
Anyway, very underrated piece of gear, IMHO. A unique arp, unique sound, and extremely tweekable interface that always takes me someplace new.
I’ve owned it twice and couldn’t get on with the interface. I loved the look and knob per function but I didn’t really explore it much. Damnit, your post is selling me yet again…
Don’t let me GAS you. It’s a great synth and does cool things that I find inspiring. But none of it is really obvious. Its one of those Rolands that you have to mine for greatness.
And, I mean, life’s short and there’s just so much gear out there. Deciding not to toil in a mine is a valid and intelligent decision. Especially if you have one or two other mines you’re already toiling in on the regular
Oh man, not to derail the topic, but those 90’s GSX-R’s were so beautiful. I had a Honda VFR 750 which was arguably a better bike, but didn’t look nearly as nice as the Suzuki. It’s like the 300ZX of the 90’s car world.
I had one of these for a hot minute, then traded up to a new TL1000S…
Oh, and I had an SH-32 as well. It rode sidecar to many a groovebox for many years.
For the record, the SH-32 doesn’t look anything like a TL1000S.
Cheers!
no please derail the topic I also would like to ogle at 90’s sport bikes
This was the fastest and most successful gas inducing and extinguishing couple of posts ever
