OVERVIEW
The SH-2 was released the same time as
the SH-09, and it shows. The main
difference is that the SH-2 has two VCOs,
instead of one, and that it is a little wider,
with 37 keys.
OSCILLATORS
There are 2 VCOs and one sub-oscillator.
VCO1 has triangle, saw/ramp, square and
pulse waveforms. VCO2 has saw/ramp,
square and pulse waveforms, and a noise
mode. Range is 2´ to 32´. The pulse width
can be controlled either manually, or with
the LFO or ENV, but is always the same
for both VCOs. The 2 VCOs are,
individualy tunable. The sub-oscillator has
three modes: one octave down square and
2 octave square or narrow pluse.
MODULATION
The LFO has square, sine and random
waveforms, with delay and frequency
controls. The SH-2 also has a autobend
slider.
MIXER
The Mixer has three levers, for the VCOs
and for the Sub-Osc.
FILTER
One low-pass self-oscillating filter can be
found on the SH-2. It has four sliders
controlling (from left to right)cut-off
frequency, resonance, envelope
modulation and LFO modulation. ENV
modulation can be inverted, and set to be
affected by the external input.
ENVENLOPES
The single envelope generator is of the
standard ADSR type. It has three trigger
modes: gate, gate+trigger and LFO.
OTHER
The VCA has gate, ENV and hold mode.
The pith-bender controls pitch and/or the
VCF at variable amount. Traditionally,there
is a portamento function with variable time.
