Hi guyz:
I just got mine (swapped for my Rm1x): its the synth I was looking for (I also got a JP8000), but this one has 32 poly; For those negative revieuws: guys get a sound module if u cant program. This one takes no place, is powerfull and can create reaaly nice soundz; EVery synth is an instrument: u cant compare a flute with a trombone. If this cool thing is not what ur looking for, than look for something else. Much gear for a little price, easy, compact. What do u need more? Talent I guess LOL

This synth didn't do much for me in the months I owned it. I consider myself a skilled programmer, often gravitating towards machines like the waldorf Q and Yamaha fs1r. Its difficult to compare this synth to those two masterpieces since the sh 32 is pandering to the lowest common denomiator, and I'm afraid Roland has set the bar a tad lower than anybody else before in doing this. Sneakily marketing this as a VA with a soundset of samples akin to a scaled down "Vintage keys" expansion is so funny I forgot to laugh. Sure, it has 32 notes, but thats because it uses samples. And its filters are all steppy and don't represent a good faith effort at modelling analog filters in my opinion.
Now, I am a sucker for a good roland, a_real_roland. I would suggest synths such as the jp6, jp8080, mks 80 w. mpg 80 and d-50(with pg1000) over this one. Also, I prefer most of the better "VA's", like the Q, virus and the Nords to this. I think the people who are giving this really high scores lack experience with the classic rolands, more expensive synths, and the higher quality offerings at this price range( micro q, a-station, ms2000). Giving this a 5 is not appropriate, I mean geez the filter isnt very good, and its oscillators are WEAK. It has a lot of effectx, and some knobs..big deal..And I'm not even saying this falls short compared to older rolands(it does though), it also falls short of modern rolands like the Jp 8080 which is a true dsp powered VA, and for my money a helluva lot more hip and funky in the synth tone dept. Better luck next time Roland.

I think anyone who learns to use it and knows or wants to learn the basics of programing synths, will like it. I don't understand the negative reviews, I love mine!

I don't understand people bitching here how hard it is to use sh-32.When I got it,I played with it about an hour and then I was able to do all the things with it I ever wanted.Oh,and the presents are crap,I know,but who the hell uses presets anyway?I use sh-32 to make all those rough and twisted bass sounds to my drum&bass tracks.I also make all kinds of pads,ambiences,effects,actually everything except drums with it.It is simply great,just get used with the interface.
But..this is just my opinion.

very uncontrolable and is not a va.Bad sound no character.WOrth about 10% of its original price.Filter is very noizy and steppy and limited.I have had it for 2 months and couldn't get a decent sound aout of it.My ms 2000 is a lot better as far as the sound quality.dont buy it or you will regret it.
