A keyboard from the early 1980's, the Roland SH-101 is a small, 32 key, monophonic synthesizer. It features one oscillator with two waveforms and an 'octave-divided' sub-oscillator, and a low-pass filter capable of self-oscillation. The controls are simple to use as there is a slider or switch available for every single parameter, and there is an external trigger input to control the speed of the sequencer or arpeggiator. It predates MIDI, but conversion kits are available from third parties. The SH-101 was produced in at least three colors: grey, blue, and red: there are persistent rumors of a very limited run of white, but until pictorial evidence is seen these must be considered apocryphal. A shoulder strap can be connected to it, and a small handgrip can be plugged into the side which contains a pitch bend wheel and a pitch modulation trigger. When slung over the shoulder it doubles as a "keyboard guitar".
