Softube Model 82: Sequencing mono synth emulation of Roland SH-101 - Jun 7, 2022

Softube has released a new software synthesizer which faithfully captures the sound and feel of the most-used mono synth of the late ’80s and early ’90s, the Roland SH-101.

The Model 82 sequencing mono synth embodies the iconic lead, bass, and arpeggiated sounds of the original, with every circuit and interaction modeled in detail.

The raw sound of the original hardware is the stuff of dance dreams. But the unique and inspiring sequencer and arpeggiator took it from a muted debut to full techno color. We recreated every speck of the original circuitry, interactions, and straightforward workflow to give you the only plug-in with a sound, feel, and interface that stays true to the most-used mono synth of the ’80s and ’90s.

Model 82 Sequencing Mono Synth is in the house.

Model 82 features

• An accurate emulation of the most-used mono synth of the late ’80s & early ’90s.
• The dry mono sound of the original hardware, authentically captured.
• The sequencer and arpeggiator that defined techno – now with DAW sync.
• Two versions included: the instrument and five modules for Modular.
• Three original, selectable color schemes for max inspiration.
• Added modern features, such as stereo doubling and drive.
• An enhanced version of the original, easy-to-use layout.
• A side panel with velocity and aftertouch control of the VCF and VCA.

Model 82 for Windows and Mac comes in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats. It is on sale for the introduction price of 79 USD/EUR instead of 99 USD/EUR.

The offer is available at the Softube store and from distributor Plugin Boutique for a limited time only.

 

You don’t need to be a synth historian to work out that Model 82, the latest instrument plugin from the Softube stable, is designed to emulate Roland’s classic SH-101.

The name (the 101 was released in 1982) and the interface both give the game away, as does the majority of the feature set. Softube’s plugin is said to precisely model the sound of the hardware while making the sequencer and arpeggiator more DAW-friendly.

There are a few additional features, such as stereo doubling and drive, but for the most part this looks like a loving nostalgia trip. Even the original red, silver and blue colour schemes are emulated.

As well as the standard version of Model 82, those who buy it will also get five modules to run in Softube Modular. It’s available now for the introductory price of €79 (regular price will be €99) and runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats.
