Manufacturer's description
If you’re new to synthesizers, meet the most friendly and fun analogue-modelling instrument on the market: the Roland SH-201. If you’re a synth pro, the SH-201 will remind you of why you fell in love with synthesizers in the first place. Simply, the SH-201 is a blast to play! It sounds great too, thanks to such features as Roland’s famous Supersaw waveform, Feedback Oscillator, D Beam, and more. The SH-201 is also equipped with an external input, so you can manipulate your CDs, MP3s, or other external input devices and instruments.

Pros
Wide range of sounds. Lots of fun to play with. Plenty of functions.
Cons
None worth mentioning.
The bottom line
It sounds great, it's intuitive and it's appealing for those who are new-ish to synthesis. It's not quite a new SH-101, though.
