Roland SH-101 vs. Behringer MS-101
In this video from YouTuber loopop, we get a sound comparison between the Roland SH-101 and its contemporary clone from Behringer, the MS-101. Can you hear the difference between the two?
From the video’s description:
The Roland SH-101 is a classic for good reason. It sounds great and has a clear and straightforward interface. Unfortunately, Roland stopped making them over 30 years ago, which is what makes Behringer’s MS-101 so interesting, not to mention the fact that the MS costs between a third and fourth of a second hand SH.
