Aziluth posted this SonicState video in another topic but I am re-posting it separately.

I love what he does at 7th minute, the "nokia tune" improvisation...

[Artemiy]

Just FYI, the "nokia tune" was composed in 1902

"The tune is heard worldwide an estimated 1.8 billion times per day, about 20,000 times per second" wow...
I was taking about "his" version of "remix".

[Mr.XR]

Tthat was probably the lamest demo i ever saw in my life.
Jump and Final Countdown!
Whats next?
Smoke on the water?
Plus the fact that i could hardly understand anything he said.
Epic fail and probably doesnt do the synth any justice!

[Artemiy]

Yes, they should have 100% invited me for that demo instead

[Mr.XR]

Absolutely!

[Artemiy]

I guess that when I receive an SH-01 I should post a proper YouTube demo to make them very, very sorry

[vox]

It is indeed time that some real material about this synth come on the Internet. Please do so, Art !

As of now, everything posted either on official channels, specialized on-line press or video streaming platforms is most ridiculous with always the same harsh-sounding saw or super-saw based patches buried under abusive pan-delay, reverb and too much digital-chorus to try to make the sound bigger. Not to mention, probably mostly played by people that never learned more than their C and F major scale.

Although I'm sure that this little baby will be a hit in schools' music classrooms or teens' bedrooms, if it was also aimed to professional musicians, then I'm sorry to tell to Roland marketing team that this is a total launch failure...

Juste a side note to VA demonstrators : for substrative synthesis' sake : big sound does not mean staking 3 supersaw OSC two slightly detuned and one transposed one octave down. That is bad sounding, not big sounding, those kind of sounds do not fit in today's mixes. Maybe was that usefull for dutch trance ten years ago, when everybody was exhausting their JP8000 polyphony with one hand, but it's now time to move on

vox, you hit the target. I couldn't agree more. I will be on prozac if i see another of these bore videos. It 's crazy, the lack of effort to just bring something more creative to the table. Imagine if a guy in the 60's had this kind of technology that most people takes for granted today. I think people are getting more and more lasy.

[francvania]

Come on Art, rock this baby!!!!

[Xenox.AFL]

Oh well, i don't like this dude and i have the feeling that he has no clue what he is talking about.
And if someone from sonicstae.com is coming around to record a video he asks 100percent for the streetprice, too bad jimmy never saw a video from them...

[Mr.XR]

Surely he didnt spend too much time with the SH-01 as some of what he says is simply BS-like "using the external input as an oscillator waveform that you can thru the filte for remixing" (BTW what the f**** is a fastpass filter?)-Looks like he never even tried that because the external input seems to be exclusively meant for mixing in some playbacks and there is no button in then OSC section or Filter section to use the external input.
Its pretty embarrassing that no one at Roland seems to care enough what some demonstrators do in their demos.

[Artemiy]

Since David was there, I am wondering why they didn't ask him to do this? Jimmy is a nice keyboard player, but describing the internals of the synth engine may not be his thing.

[V-CeeOh]

David went for Doesing
Jimmy didn't look that bad live.
