“The Roland SH-101 is a timeless analog monosynth that never seems to go out of fashion. And it’s not surprising – it has a killer sound that fits really well with many modern music styles

This synthesizer is in mint condition looks and sounds amazing.
This is the version that comes with the mod grip.” Link

“Used monophonic synthesizer. I don’t play this anymore because I play other instruments I occupy myself with. Included are the main synth, modulation grip, grip cord connector, strap, strap locks, instructions, battery cover and adaptor. Battery cover stays on nicely but is missing one tooth. Input sound comes in/out at times. May need some maintenance. Sold as is. ” Link

“This is a used (obviously) Roland SH-101, in very good shape. Everything works, and my twins tested it thoroughly . It sounds so good, they don’t want me to sell it, but, alas, I must! I don’t have an original Roland A/C adapter, but I can work on that. . . . .” Link

” This as a classic Monophonic synth, forget plugins if you want DEEEEEP BASS this is the baby,
it is in mint condition i sold it earlier in the year without a psu the guy who bought it must have used the wrong polarity
and blew it, i refunded him, and have had it fixed, i will now be selling with psu, but please note it is not the Roland
psu, but it does work as i have had the pleasure of using this little beauty again.” Link

“Red Sh-101, comes with power supply, manual and Red Pistol grip/mod wheel so it can be played like a keytar…. the keyboard is in excellent condition and all the sliders sound clean when tweaking them….there is one tiny marker mark about 3 mm long on the front–shown in photo 2, but otherwise is in near mint condition….also i can’t find the rear strap button for keytar action…..CV in and out work as i use them like that all the time….” Link

“Up for sale is my Roland SH-101. I have owned it since around 1999. I am liquidating my studio so my loss is your gain. It works flawless. Everything sliders and all have been tested and work 100%. No scratchy pots or sliders. Cosmatically I would give this a 10 out of 10. The only thing as you can see from one of the pictures is that one of the keys has a slight nick in it. This does not at all effect the performance of the keys. Also included with the SH-101 is the mod grip. This grip is very difficult to find now a days. It has also been tested and works 100%. I also have the original box for the mod grip which I will include. Don’t pass this board up it is truley a great piece of equipment. It was used in a smoke free studio and always sat on my keyboard stand and was very lightly used. I will also include a copy of the manual in PDF format on CD-Rom. I will also be including a power supply for the SH-101 as well. This 101 has the battery cover intact.

Here are my terms: Item is being sold as in 100% working order.” Link

“This auction is for 1 x Roland SH-101 Analog Monophonic Synthesizer, MGS-1 Modulation Grip, Roland Strap and Original Owner’s Manual (actual items in photo).

The synthesizer functions as it should and is in immaculate condition. There are no crackly pots or sliders. There is not one scratch or mark it. The MGS-1 has a 1cm long hair line scratch on it. In the auction photograph you will see that the SH-101 is powered up. It runs off batteries or a 9V-12V DC power supply (not supplied). ” Link

“Dies ist wahrscheinlich der besterhaltenste SH-101 der Welt, wie Neu, aus erster Hand!

Es handelt sich um das rote Sondermodell einschliesslich Modulationgrip.

Alle zur Originalauslieferung gehörenden Teile, wie Umhänge-Gurt, original Bedienungshandbücher, Garantiekarte und das Alu Hardcase sind ebenfalls Teil der Auktion (sogar die mitgelieferten Roland Batterien!!!).

Also nicht nur die rote Ausführung ist besonders, sondern die Tatsache, dass das gute Stück seit 1986 ausnahmslos in dem passgenauen, Schaumstoff gefütterten Hardcase verbracht hat (siehe Bilder) und somit in einem Zustand praktisch wie am ersten Tag überdauert hat.

Man beachte, dass sogar noch Teile der Originalverpackung und sogar die Batterien der Neuauslieferung erhalten sind und zur Auktion gehören.

So sind dem guten Stück natürlich jegliche Bühnenauftritte, genauso wie insbesondere die Hardcore Belastungen in den Tagen der zweiten Blüte des SH-101, nämlich während seiner nahezu fanatischen Beliebtheit für D&B und Technobässe erspart geblieben.

Mittlerweile hat sich der SH generell wieder seine verdiente Stellung als mehr als nur ein Bass-Synth zurück erobert, ist stark gesucht und wird vor allem unter Einsatz eines Midi-CV/Gate Interfaces gerne eingesetzt.

(Bei Bedarf habe ich auch noch ein solches Midi Interface von einem anderen, mittlerweile kaputten Synth zur Verfügung und könnte dieses separat ebenfalls abgeben).

Weitere Details zum SH-101 hier aufzulisten erspare ich mir, denn jeder der hier reingeschaut hat, weiss wahrscheinlich sowieso um was für ein Schätzchen es sich handelt (jenseits des Sounds z.B. Arpeggiator, Sequencer, etc etc).

Der Synth ist wirklich wie Neu, aber selbstverständlich handelt es sich um eine Privatauktion und einen Gebrauchtgeräteverkauf, und deshalb schliesse ich jegliche Gewährleistung oder Garantie aus.

Gerne stehe ich aber für Fragen zur Verfügung. Und nach Absprache kann das Gerät auch in Münster in Augenschein genommen werden.” Link

“Legendäres Gerät aus 80er, voll funktionsfähig und im sehr guten Zustand. Seltene rote Version, inkl. Mod. Grip und Netzteil.
Privatverkauf, keine Garantie oder Rücknahme.” Link

“This is a vintage Roland SH-101 synthesizer. Red color.
This syth is in great shape. I bought it new in the early 80′s. I haven’t played it much and it has been in storage for over 20 years. An electronic musician friend used it for a little while about a year after I bought it.
I had this baby sold about a month ago for big bucks. Just as I was about to ship it off, I tested it one last time and found that three keys weren’t working. I panicked, then opened it up and inspected the keyboard circuit. I cleaned the keyboard contacts, which weren’t very dirty at all. Then I noticed that three of the copper tracers on the circuit board were corroded. One of the tracers wasn’t letting any signal through and was the cause of the three keys to not work. I soldered in a jumper/bridge wire that bypassed the corroded spot. The keys now worked. See the second photo to see the corrosion and the wire bridge.
I then soldered two more jumpers on the other two corroded traces just to be safe or proactive.
This baby is now good to go. This, I have learned, isn’t a rare problem and there are discussions online and even you tube videos dealing with it. That sale fell through but the buyer was real nice and left me great feedback.
Enough of that story.
This synth is clean inside and out. I cleaned all of the keys and contacts and vacuumed it all out.
The pots are clean,smooth and not scratchy.
The only cosmetic problems are two tiny scratches on the case just above the modulator label.(see photo)
The battery compartment is in mint condition because I never put batteries in it. I always used an ac adapter. I am including a good ac adapter that doesn’t have any hum, like some.
This comes with the modulation grip MG-1 and the strap holder that mounts on the other side.
Also comes with the original leather Roland strap.
Also comes with the owner’s manual and a CD with downloaded copy of the manual and the service manual.
Also comes with the original box and packing material. Box is in pretty sad shape and is taped together.
I’ll double box it for shipping.” Link

“Up for sale is an EXTREMELY RARE Roland SH101 in BLUE!!

Complete with the modgrip accessory and original manual.

Yes you could get a grey one for half of the money, but your friends wont envy you half as much if you have this blue mean baby:)

Perfect pounding bass and searing leads.

Works beautifully.

NO scratchy sounding knobs .

The condition has been thoroughly highlighted in the many Hi-res photos above including the battery cover holding pegs tha have snapped off, the cover still closes in fine and stays in place, although I would not recommend any Jimi Hendrix type stage acrobatics!!!

The condition is good in my point of view, the marks are minor for a synth this age, I have done my best to take photos of all of the synths areas so you can check this yourself as your levels of expected condition might differ from mine..

There are screws missing from the bottom but this does not affect the unit structurally.

If you are here, I probably wont need to go on any further as you will know what you are buying and how much of a solid investment this is:)” Link

“An 80s CLASSIC in perfect working condition!

condition is excellent

Please check other pictures

and, please look at the condition” Link

“Up for auction is a very nice, pre-owned Roland synthesizer. Model: SH-101. Comes with hand grip! The tone button is missing and the pitch bender switch is slightly chipped but still functional (8th/9th pictures). Everything else is in great condition and fully operational! The A/C power cord is included with a Roland soft, carry case! ” Link

“Roland SH-101 Monophonic Synthesizer with MGS-1 Modulation Grip in ORIGINAL BOXES. EXCELLENT condition. Classic grey color. Original owner. Rarely used. All major functions tested and working properly. An 80s CLASSIC in perfect working condition!

SH-101 includes keyboard only. Power supply or manual not included. A generic power supply can be used, or any Roland power supply with a 9-12VDC (-) polarity output. Works on 6 C batteries also.

MGS-1 includes modulation grip and guitar strap post, everything needed to convert SH-101 to a “keytar”. Guitar strap or manual not included.” Link

“This is the “Keytar” add-on for the SH101. Bolting on the hand grip and strap allows you to play the keyboard in a guitar style. If you’ve got a SH101 you need one of these )

It is in fair condition, home studio use only. The bracket has superficial damage in the crease (see images). The strap is the original Roland one.” Link

“This is a Roland SH-101 synthesizer. I guess you could call it vintage.
I bought it new in the 80′s
It has been in storage for at least 20 years.
It cleaned up pretty nice and is in great shape.
I never used it much and a electronic musician friend used it for a while.
I just tested it a bit and all of the keys, knobs and sliders seem to work fine, no scratchy pots.
Comes with the modulation grip MG-1.
I still have the nice leather strap but I think I’ll keep that.
Comes with the manual and even the original box. ( box is pretty mangled and taped together)
Comes with ac adapter.” Link

“This auction is for a red SH-101 with mod grip. The synth is in absolutely superb condition for it’s age, and there is certainly no rusting in the battery compartment or anything like that. I have barely used it, but it has been fully tested and all keys, sliders, knobs etc are working fine. I have uploaded a large number of pictures to fully demonstrate the condition of the unit.

Also included is an original Roland booklet in Japanese as well as a Roland-branded soft case. The soft case, which I purchased seperately from the synth itself, has some water marks on it. Please note that a mains power supply is not included, but a replacement power supply can easily be found on eBay and other online retailers.” Link

“RARE absolutely MINT condition Blue Roland SH-101 Synth with Mod Grip (for those of you who like rocking out). I’m the original owner, but just figure its time to downsize some gear. Killer bass sounds! enjoy!” Link

“Roland SH-101 Mod Grip.

This sale is for the Mod Grip only, it does not include the screws and strap Knob that goes on the other side.

Thanks for looking.” Link

” Up for sale is a Roland SH-101 complete with the optional hand grip/modulation attachment. This is a really fun analog synth capable of some fantastic bass lines as well as great lead sounds. The filter on this thing is awesome. This particular instrument is the gray version and all the features work as they should. There is a scratch just above the keyboard as shown in the picture but everything else is cosmetically in great condition. The power adapter is included but the SH-101 can also run from batteries if desired. Also included is a very nice road case. Don’t miss this one” Link

“ROLAND SH-101 WITH NOVA MODS FULL VERSION ALL DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN INCLUDING ALL 1/4″ JACKS INSTEAD OF 1/8″ FULLY SERVICED, RECAPPED, CALIBRATED, ETC.

In this auction I include the SH-101 in the pictures an Original Roland PS-120 Power Supply not pictured because I forgot to take a picture of it and a copy of the manual for the Nova Mods either Printed or in PDF format as you wish…

This unit is working 100% as a stock Roland SH-101 will since the mods DO NOT alter the it’s performance when the mods are not in use and there are endless possibilities of new sounds that can be done with all the mods and add ons.” Link

“If this unique synth doesn’t sell in this listing I’m going to realise how much I love it and keep it so this is your last chance!

I don’t want to sell this but was offered an even more fascinating synth and now need to pay for it so I’ve decided to part with my Custom Designed Roland SH-101 Dance and Acid/Electro/Experimental Synthesiser. It comes with the Mod Grip and Custom Fitted Flight Case and a virtually new power supply.

You probably know what an SH-101 is so I won’t say much. It has its own built in little sequencer and arpeggiator, sounds divine and has C/V and Gate inputs and outputs. But……

….. this one is CHROME in colour. It’s the only one ever made by Jeff at Customsynth.co.uk and there was a lot of interest when he was selling it but I managed to get it!

It is fully serviced and works perfectly.

This one was customised by Jeff Toman at CustomSynth in Devon just a few months ago and I persuaded him to sell it to me, despite offers of well over £1K.

I know Jeff which helped clinch the deal. Anyway now I’m selling it as I’ve now obtained another synth that I couldn’t refuse and will, to be honest, probably use more!” Link

“For sale is a boxed ROLAND MGS-1 modulation grip for SH-101 synthesizer.

The grip is in “LIKE NEW” condition.

It is complete in box, with the original roland leather belt in excellent condition.

The grip was bought new when it came out and was used only ones in a home studio. It was never used outside a home studio.

The grip is in absolutely mint condition with no scratches or marks. It is in perfect working condition.

The leather belt is in LIKE NEW condition. It has not even “darken” from time and light. It still smells like new leather.

YOU WILL NEVER FIND AN ORIGINAL ROLAND LEATHER BELT IN THIS CONDITION!” Link

“Clean and well kept machine. Almost 100% mint. Simple playback testing with the arpeggiator worked 100% fine. Comes with mod grip, sound synthesis book, and original adapter.

notes: there is a slight bend in the filter cutoff slider, but does not affect playback. could be straightened easily if you open the case up.

the adapter is for 100v, but should be fine with 110v, etc. For customers in 200-240v areas, i will send a boss adapter instead, so you don’t need a transformer..” Link

“Roland SH-101 Mono Synthesizer With Mod Grip, A/C Adapter and Manual

Selling a bunch of mucial gear for my brother, including a lot of quality 80′s era Made in Japan stuff – bass guitar, effects, pedals, synths. All items are well taken care of and work great. His description of the listed item, as follows:

Roland SH-101 mono synth, early 80’s 2nd owner. Great, nasty 80’s synth sounds. None of the recent keyboards come close to the growl this board gets, even the recent Rolands with the SH-101 patches. Great shape, comes with original manual, new Boss A/C adaptor and the original mod grip (most sellers offer it separately for an extra $200.00). Professionally looked at and everything works great. No crackles, and no problems. The only issue: one of the screw holes for the strap is enlarged (pictured), but it doesn’t affect the playability whatsoever.” Link

“Original mod grip attachment for the sh-101 analogue synthesizer. Comes in original box and packaging. Also includes screws and attachment to connect to an sh-101, and a 9v adapter for the sh-101. (sh-101 not included!)

The grip itself, and the screws and attachment are in near-new condition.
The box has some slight tears, and there is a corner missing from the polystyrene inner casing.

Still, a very cool item, especially for collectors of vintage equipment.” Link

“This Roland SH-101 and MGS-1 modulation grip set (including original leather shoulder strap) comes in near perfect condition as it has been seldom used despite being nearly 30 years old. It comes complete with the original Boss PSA-240 power supply, original owner’s manual, original box for the MGS-01, and a case for the SH101. If I were you, I’d buy a new power supply as this one has a 2 pin plug that has to be attached to an adaptor (also included) which is a little loose. No batteries are included in the SH101 – sorry!” Link

“You are looking at the legendary ROLAND SH-101… The SH-101 is perfect for producing techno, drum n bass and dubstep! It’s a monophonic bass synthesizer. Its sound lies somewhere between the TB-303 and a Juno bass sound. It has a lot of simple but cool features. You can control the VCF, pitch, LFO or all from the pitch bender. It has a white noise generator, arpeggiator with up, down and up/down patterns and a simple real-time sequencer. The LFO offers random, sine, square or noise waveforms. And normal or auto portamento effects give you that elastic bass sound. There are external clock inputs for the sequencer and arpeggiator, CV/GATE inputs and outputs and a CV hold pedal. This item has recently been serviced and is in good working order.

I’m selling the SH-101 with the original Roland MGS-1 modulation grip (inc original box), original Roland leather shoulder strap, an audio lead, user manual and power supply unit.” Link

” I gave up my dreams of becoming a rock star, and now I need to pay for snow tires… so my loss is your gain! Up for sale is a classic Roland SH-101 Vintage Analog Synthesizer in excelent condition. I am the only owner and a non-smoker. Very little use, but some minor scuffs and scratches from moving around. Guarenteed never to have been played by an actual musician! I hate reserves and hidden charges, so this will be sold with free shipping of my choice. Likely it will be FedEx ground or UPS ground, but it _will_ be insured for hightest bidder price and come with a tracking number. If you would like it shipped some other way we can make arangements. If you are in Colorado, I’ll credit you $25 if you pick it up in person.

Comes with the optional Mod Grip and sholder strap so you can do your best Devo impressions. Also included is a 1/4″ to 1/8″ headphone adapter so you can use walkman-type headphones (man, I must be dating myself…. ipod type headphones). Also included is a wall adapter. No batteries included, but this can be battery powered for portable use. As you can see from the picture, batteries have never leaked or corroded in the battery compartment.” Link

“Here’s a mod grip for an SH-101. Works great. Get it off your keyboard stand and starting wearing it like the keytar it’s begging to be. The button on the side turns on your LFO modulation and the wheel on the front lets you do oscillator slides. Lots of fun and essential for live performance” Link

“Vintage Analog RED Roland SH-101 “keytar” synthesizer

Includes:
- Keyboard
- Hand grip
- Power supply (not original)

Here’s your chance to get a great vintage synth for a good price!

I have owned this SH101 for about 10 years and have exclusively used it in the studio, it has never been roughed up by the road. I have babied this instrument, so any wear and tear was there when I purchased it.

Please read carefully about the condition…

I am NOT a vintage synth expert so I will describe the condition of the keyboard the best I can. In general it is in very good shape. It has a few minor scratches that are appropriate for its age, but no cracks. It plays very well but since I have not used it in 3 or 4 years, it needs some cleaning. Some of the sliders are a bit noisy but they get better with use (and cleaning). I do not make any claims that this keyboard is in “perfect” condition and do not guarantee that it can be restored to perfect condition. However, I don’t see any reason why it could not be easily restored, I’m just saying that because I am not an expert I can’t guarantee anything.

Known issues…

- The high C key sticks when pressed.
- The “Transpose” button is missing.
- The “LFO Mod” slider is missing.

Those are the only issues I am aware of, there may be other issues I do not know about, but I have never come across anything.

Having said all that, I can also say that I have used this synthesizer many times in the studio and really love the results” Link

“A rare opportunity to buy a RED Roland SH-101 monophonic analogue synthesizer complete with the original matching modulation grip.

The synth itself needs no explanation. This one is in particularly nice condition and sounds fantastic. This one also has the addition of a very neat (looks like it was factory installed) Kenton 2-socket kit which allows direct control of both filter and mod. It’s a really good example of this classic synth, and definitely one of the best you will find.

I’m not going to bang on about the colour of the synth but for those who don’t know the red version is rarer than the standard grey issue. Another seller currently has a red SH-101 with the mod grip listed at almost a grand….! Here’s your chance to pick up the same synth for a sensible price” Link

Great sounding synth, everything functions as it should. It doesn’t come with the power supply, as I have all my 9v stuff powered of
