Trigger the Roland SH 101

For anyone still struggling, please note that the SH-101 likes a VERY loud trigger. Here’s a quick/simple way to get a solid triggered signal from the Octa to the 101:

  1. Run a cable from one of the Octatrack’s CUE OUT to the SH-101’s GATE IN.

  2. Create a Static Machine on an empty track, load a 909 Rimshot/trigger signal sample onto it and route to CUE OUTPUT by pressing FUNCTION + CUE.

  3. Use the Octatrack’s compressor on this track, to increase the gain/shape the transient (I use medium ATK, fast REL, RAT at about 9 o’clock, makeup GAIN to taste & MIX at 100%) of the sample being sent to the SH-101, until the triggering is solid and consistent.

Works well & lots of fun!
