Source: Roland SH-4D review: An overdue return to great synths for the masses

Summary
Roland’s SH-4d has a rich sound engine featuring 11 different oscillators that ranges from classic Roland to FM tones, PCM samples, and wavetables. It has a streamlined menu that feels more manageable than other Roland devices, but the mixer mode and effects section still required unnecessary menu diving.

Fact

🎹 The SH-4d is a synth-focused desktop groovebox with lots of hands-on controls built around Roland’s Zen-Core engine.

🔊 It has 11 different oscillators, offering the closest Roland has ever come to knob-per-function with this device.

🎛️ The mixer mode and effects section required unnecessary menu diving, while the larger, higher-res screen makes navigation easier.

🎧 There are 95 effects in total, with the delay and chorus being excellent, while the reverb is lackluster.

Fact

👍 The 2022 iPad has an updated design, improved performance and battery life, and supports USB-C charging and larger trackpad and function keys.

👎 The $250 keyboard case is expensive, the screen quality isn’t as refined as higher-end iPads, and it doesn’t have an anti-reflective coating or support for the P3 wide color gamut.
